Samsung Series 3 Laptop: Core i7 3630QM 2.4GHz, 15.6" (1366x768), 6GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, HD 7730M, 6-Cell, Win 8 $599 + Free Shipping

Quote from lk123 : Staples has the same series 3 but with more memory (8GB), bigger drive (1TB) and bigger screen (17'') with better HD+ resolution for the same money (but with tax). So what is so slick about this? Staples one does not have a dedicated graphics though, but still...

You must be referring to this [staples.com] one which is 17.3".

quite amazing to see how people have absolutely no idea yet they know everything

so getting this to hook up to my 40" TV to game on is not a good idea?

Quote from rob4448585 : resolution is horrible

It's actually terrible:-)

Quote from hmongsda : Cpu benchmark - 7700 (That's pretty good)! This is a laptop not a TV. You don't need 1080p for a 15" laptop.

Tell that to apple.

Radeon 7730m is high class 2 graphics, rated only behind a GT640m (better than GT 635M)

PLUS I7 Ivebridge instead of slower i5 Iveybridge that you usually get at best in the price range of $480-600.
So thumbs up and a very nice deal!

PS: just use an external 1080p monitor if you need 1080p. This deal is meant for those that want to stay within a budget range of $450-$600 for a great dedicated graphics laptop. 1080p + graphics will usually cost more. This is the cheapest Iveybridge i7 laptop deal I've ever seen with very good dedicated graphics. The only other better "low priced" deals than this were on Lenovo i5 GT 630M and Lenovo GT 635M for $488-$550 from past SD deals.
PS2: within the past 10 minutes 10 of these laptops were sold, so I'm not the only one who thinks this is a worthy deal.
Decent reviews at Amazon.

Adoram is basically taking $140 off of this (not sure how they can afford this loss)

If I was in market for a laptop then this would be the perfect one for me. I envy those who are getting this.

I want 1920x1080 not for movies. I need it for productivity!

I would be all over this if it wasn't for Windows 8. I had it for a couple of days and then downgraded back to 7.

Quote from gimper48 : Oh Quote from ShaikenJ : 5400 rpm hdd... Agree about the bad resolution as well If this had a 7200rpm hdd or an ssd, I would jump on it! Seems like a good value though. Any one have any recommendation for an i7 2.4+ ghz 8+GB RAM FHD laptop with an SSD or at least a 750gb 7200rpm hdd. I am ok with 14/15" screen. Need this for running VMware etc. Yes I recommend Lenovo w520 buy it base then get you own ssd and 32gb of ram. I have this setup and run esxi 4.1 clustered and nested on vmware workstation. I use it to demo vmware.. etc. Oh yeah and I almost forgot I have dropped it off my couch arm at least 20 times and it does not have a scratch (this happens when a 2 yr old and 4 yr old are "helping you")

32gb of ram?!? Ive been out of the pc specs world for two years, but that seems extreme

Quote from ilbknownas1 : 32gb of ram?!? Ive only been out of the pc specs world for two years, that seems extreme Sent from Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.

not when you are running vmware. I can chew that amount of ram running numerous vms.

I took two years off once to complete a college degree I came back and I was a really stupid tech for a while. I caught back up but it took 4 years

Ohh gotcha, yeah I'm too busy to catch back up right yet but one day I'll get back to it! Thanks for pleasant response

Quote from blooper : i have a similar display on my laptop, it sucks. but for 600 bucks. what more can you really ask for?

maybe i'm just getting old, but i have a 1366x768 resolution on my 15.6" hp probook.

i know theres a way to upgrade to a 1080p panel for $100 or so (have to do it yourself) but didnt bother. this seems like an ok resolution for a panel this size, i'm not trying to go blind.

I have a 13.3 inch 1080p laptop and I love it. Since I started using this laptop, all 720p displays looks like crap. Heck even smart phone have 1080p displays. I think it improves productivity as you can more real estate to work with.

Quote from gabe23111 : They only charge tax in NJ & NY. How do I know? Because every good deal I want to buy is either from Adorama, BuyDig or Newegg - All charge Jersey tax I'm still thinking about pulling the trigger on this. Seems like a really good price.$700 on Amazon [amazon.com]. I'm looking to upgrade from my HP Envy. Thanks for the deal OP

then you're going to have a real problem come july 1st...
