Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on this Samsung R580 laptop? I've got a max of £600 to spend and I've seen this laptop for this price, managed to reserve the last one at a high street shop, I will be using it for general things as well as the odd bit of gaming, is it worth £600? Would be very grateful if someone could give me an answer today as I need to collect it if it's worth the asking price. Specs Bellow:

Thanks I ended up getting the model up from this which is the Samsung R780. Using it now and it's an excellent laptop. Nice and light especially since this is a 17" version, 1GB memory for the GPU which is the same as the model above, more power for the speakers as well. Very nice laptop and I would certainly recommend it. :)
 
4GB DDR3 and an i5 in a laptop for £600 is very good. That gfx card won't be great for high-end games though. It will handle most on low-mid settings I reckon.
 
Also picked up an i3 R780. The thing is huge, surprisingly please with the colour, which isn't at all as RED as I thought it would be.17" screen is pretty good and a nicely laid out keyboard, although the spacebar is doing my **** in, sometimes it just doesn't register a keystroke if you hit it near the edge.
