| 1184812 | 2011-03-10 03:40:00 | I've read the review a couple of times (in the mag and online). I admit I'm a bit biased as a serious pc gamer but I found it useful tho I agree its probably off track (Samsung dont seem to advertise it as a gaming pc at all). Looks really gamey with the fins and shape - kinda hoped it was a gaming machine. Maybe Siobhan did too. I like that pc world always tests at 1280x720 and 1920x1080, so you can compare benchmarks easily. Too many different resolutions to test em all. Not sure what happened to the other benchmarks tho. 3dmark and cinebench and trackmania like they usually use. Just the stalker one. Next time run the rest, but a nicely written review anyway. Sol: you might not care how laptops look, but I do. My reproductive organs are on the outside of my body, I watch sport, and i dont date guys. Sorry to break your stereotype. - ArcadeIron I don't recall saying laptop reviews have nothing to do with looks ( I think it looks cool, and most laptop owners don't purchase on looks) and I fail to see where you are going with the reproductive organs? Tell me WTF has not dating guys got to do with an informative laptop review? Size Weight LCD resolution Battery life Peripherals\inputs CPU HDD space Memory Connectivity Warranty Ergonomics etc etc! |

It shows that perhaps PCWorld NZ does peruse the forum now and then which is probably a lot more than has been seen in recent times. As for the review, its a lot better than some of the reviews I have been reading lately in certain other mags. I have to agree that the gamer-centric comparison was probably not that favourable to what was essentially a home/office comp though. |

| 1184814 | 2011-03-10 03:50:00 | I just had a quick whizz of it here at campus :D I don't read the mags or much reviews unless I buy etc . . To me it seems it's a fashion thing and maybe the reality is people use it for basic stuff and if it looks great, many are willing to pay for it . I don't have an issue with the gaming stuff, it's not a gaming device and PC World I don't think caters for the more technical audience . Yeah you could put up one or two number I guess but given the games that was tried out with dismal results, is there much a point . I would of wanted more info on the style and size thing . I read about the shark fin thing, but not sure if that means it's thin or what . . . a size in millimetres would be useful and the overall weight etc . . or was it just shiney . Sure games get a desktop . But having spent time on campus, I really do think for students, laptop comes first . They are so handy for studying, you can use the free wifi network, fast enough to stream video lectures (the few papers that are provided), you can use it for personal stuff like FB, chatting software etc . . take it to the bookshelf and use the library catalogue system . You can even surf the net in a lecture theatre - I don't, preferring a pen and pad but I have seen those who have . Those are into games get a desktop but also get a Netbook at least . It's just the 3rd week in studies, you have people queuing for a PC here, there are so many people with laptops/netbooks too . I guess a min of 100 in the libray at any time ;) |
