Finally I can go home!

Is this worth trying to do basic gaming on?

blah

$519 total on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230681351163&hlp=false

So how does WiMax WiDi work? Is it always-on internet? Is there a monthly fee?

Ugh, we have to get through 24 more of these. Wootalyzer estimates 1 hour 5 minutes until next woot.

Using this laptop right now. I bought it from the blue box, and I've really liked it. I bought it with 6GB RAM, been great for me. Only thing I don't like about it is the mouse pad is super sensative, and even messing with the settings I'm constantly hitting during typing and deleting thing. Quite frustrating sometimes. But this is about 200 less than what I paid new.

was on sellout.woot 2 months ago for $499

looks like there are around 10 of these - that's about 9 too many!

My daughter got a -S02 (this is a -J01). The specs look almost the same and if so, it will work for basic gaming.

Hey, I got one of these! It's the Rapture edition!

The 5400 rpm hard drive ruins this.

level of want is very high

I might have jumped on this if it atleast was a 2nd gen i5. No Sandy bridge != this price.

Got one of these back in May, same price.

Can't complain, but don't use is too much. I have tablets that occupy my time. It does have a nVidia GPU, so that is a plus. I was going to install Linux on it, but never got around to it.

I do hook it to my HDTV/monitor to watch the Wisconsin Badgers on ESPN3. The screen is over-expanded, and I can't find a way to fix it.

You do need to uninstall some of the Samsung crap that comes pre-installed on it.

Things like this should be called a 'WOOT SPOOF'.

I don't want to be wootless today...

You might be okay for most games as long as the graphics settings were set to the minimum in the game.

I'd hold out for a video card with at lease 1GB of dedicated memory though. I think you would be much happier (though don't expect to run games on maximum graphic setting without spending a few grand on a gaming-specific laptop).

Try downloading Touch Freeze. There are several computers with this issue. I'm using it on a Dell Inspiron and it has saved my sanity.

No B oh C yet... so I'm thinkin' this is gonna be at least a two-day Woot-off?

I think there is enough time for dinner and a movie before this sells

There's 25 of them, 1 has been bought and the meter is at 96%.

Some expensive stuff on here today. Guess ill keep refreshing and hopeing that anybody wants these laptops.

Hey, all you 1%-ers!! Buy these laptops so us 99%-ers can get our Burnt orange Camaros!!!

Is 'edge-to-edge' glass really warranted if the screen bezel is still an inch on either side?

WiDi (Intel Wireless Display) transfers your picture to a tv or monitor wirelessly. Just like an HDMI cable without the cable.

Wimax allows you to get wireless internet, like on your cellphone but you have to pay a provider a monthly fee. It's like getting one of those Mi-Fi modems from Verizon without the need for the modem.

5400 rpm drives use less power. This is what you want in a 'portable' device.

wow... there goes samsung again copying apple. aluminum body? edge to edge glass? sounds like my macbook pro.

everything samsung makes nowadays, apple made first... and they made it better. silly samsung.

Hmmm thanks for the heads up! Does it work on Win7?
