Samsung is getting serious about attracting PC gamers to its brand of computers.

The company announced what it calls the "ultimate" (off-the-shelf) gaming notebook. The Series 7 comes equipped with a 2.3 GHz Intel i7-3610QM Ivy Bridge processor, 16 GB of memory, 1.5 TB HDD space, as well as Nvidia GeForce GTX675M graphics. As a 17.3-inch (1920x1080) system, it is common sense to assume that it is not an especially light device: Samsung says the Series 7 weighs 13.3 lbs.
Additional standard features include a Blu-ray drive, two USB 3 ports, a 2 MP webcam as well as 4 watt speakers with an integrated sub-woofer.
Samsung says the Series 7 can be run in four different modes - a gaming mode with pulsating, red light that highlights keyboard keys and speakers, a general mode with optimizations for productivity software, a quiet mode with disabled sounds and the fan turned off, as well as a power saver mode in which "only the most critical parts of the processor are running".
The Series 7 is a sale now for $1900.
NOPE! Not with the 7970m gpu out for laptops. Far better, and with the option to have 2x4 RAM chips, ends up with the same price tag.

Echoed.
This is like carrying an All-in-one around with a very large UPS.. :-)
Go spec the same parts with the Alienware M17x and you'll be up $200 on the Samsung. Actually it would be more since I didn't change the HD on the Alienware whereas the Samsung has a 1.5TB HD and the Alienware has a 500GB HD. Epic fail is Razors.
"Cuda computational" and "Laptop" should/could

I like those specs, but 3.5 Kilos is the most I am willing to carry around on a daily basis and even that makes longer distances look ridiculous, dangling all the way on my shoulder and hip. Add the weight of case, power brick and whatnot and it becomes a drag. Literally. So, 6+ Kilos is out of the question for me.
are you just trolling? 675 is low specs? lol. while I respect clevo (check my system), it won't be any cheaper for same specs. So, $2k for ivy bridge + 675 is expensive? lol. Thunderbolt is available on clevo machines? lol.
it will crumble and not be able to give you 30 fps stable before it overheats. Does that explain it enough for you?

There's a reason this class is called "DESKTOP replacement." I would imagine that by same sentiment you won't hold it on your knees for longer than 2 hours anyway, since it would be a drag.
