Since lugging around an 8 pound 17.3-inch gaming "laptop" doesn't attract enough attention, Samsung decided to upgrade its Series 7 Gamer with a fresh coat of paint. Along with its new blindingly bright yellow finish, the company has also upgraded what was underneath the hood. The new model now features an AMD Radeon HD 7870M, replacing the Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M.
Although some would believe Nvidia's higher-end 675M GPU should out power AMD's mid-range 7870M, numerous benchmarks have shown the 7870M is a force to be reckoned with. In addition to the upgrade in GPU power, Samsung also decided to throw in a 3D LED display, a 128GB SSD, and 1TB HDD.
According to the official post on the company's Samsung Tomorrow blog, the revamped Series 7 Gamer will be available for Korean gamers starting tomorrow, August 14th at a price of 2.99 million won (approx. $2,647 USD). No word on when or if an international release will be available just yet, but something this vibrant will be hard to miss if it does make its way around the world.

Pennanen I wonder if the chick is the same as on those stupid radeon adds where she touches the connectors and then plugs dvi into motherboard. Looks the same.Reply -
bystander It's a lot like cars. The only cars you see with bright yellow paint jobs are high performance sports cars. The cars with drivers who are saying, "look at me!"Reply
I am guessing they're appealing to the same people. -
eddieroolz It looks horrendous, and that's a ridiculous price. I'd rather just Macbook Pro at this price.Reply
