Samsung Series 7 / Laptop for ~£500

Hi all,

I'm wondering if laptop in the below link is a good purchase?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-SAMSU...t=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item2579e79eb4

If not, does anyone have any recommendations for a laptop around that price range. Mostly used for connecting to TV via hdmi for HD movies and some photoshop.

Thanks

It seems a very good deal, I haven't seen many i7 laptops for that price.

I'm also a sucker for Samsung so that always helps

The only thing that would concern me slightly is they are only offering 90 days Warranty.
I've not needed warranty that often but 90 days is a bit short for that amount of money.

As an aside I would just watch posting links to competitor websites, not allowed on these forums :s

Also just read that it's a US keyboard so clearly is some sort of US import - if this doesn't bother you then fill your boots.

It also has US keyboard layout

As well as the keyboard being US....I am always reluctant to those great deals - I might be wrong though.
If something sounds to good usually its a suspicious case.

Thanks for the info guys. I was a bit suspicious myself but the seller has loads of positive feedback and using paypal through ebay is pretty safe.

It might be that its a great catch - still under those 90 days - if anything is wrong with it should show...
