Definitely worth the price you paid.

I paid about $530 for these specs:
Samsung R578
Intel Core i3 380 @ 2.53GHz
3GB RAM
320GB HDD
ATI Mobility Radeon 5470

You're paying 300 odd dollars for specs that are a LOT better (almost twice as good). Not a bad deal; I'd get one too. Where'd you buy it from?

[Mind Freak]

Well i have a

Dell XPS 15 @ 1077$
2nd Generation Core i7 @2.2 GHz
8 GB DDR3
750 GB
Mobile Intel HM67 Express Chipset
2 GB Dedicated Graphics
15.6 Inch
Windows 7 Ultimate

@ OP

all's good but the HDD space is too less!

[ShareShiz]

not even 1 usb 3.0 port

i think youll be looking to upgrade in a few years.

all's good but the HDD space is too less!

more HDD space, the more spins it has to make, the more heat. ... 500gbs is plenty for a laptop.


it would have been better to just get a shitty laptop good for only a year or 2, there are gonna be LOADS of new technology in the coming year. hell in a year you will probably be able to get a tablet at that price and with those specs.

GPU sucks, should've waited a few months for a better budget.

You have to keep an eye out for deals, Sometimes older techs the best.

I got the following for free,

Cpu is crap but all in all it's a solid laptop for nothing.

I also have this which cost me ?100 (Was missing a hardrive and the power jack had snapped off inside which i fixed for nothing .),


So yeah, There is good deals if you know where to look.

That asus is out of date by a lot. The i7 that is used is 1st generation i7. 3rd generation is coming out this quarter. At least get a sandy bridge (2nd gen). With the release of 3rd gen processors the 2nd gen ones should drop substantially. Sandy bridge uses a lot less juice and pushes out more power.
Look for the i7 2630 is what the latest Asus includes. Prices dropped a lot during black friday and christmas via newegg.
