Samsung NP-R580-JSB1US

Hey all!

I've been shopping for a laptop for a while, and recently found this little guy. According to Cnet its a great deal for what I want. I wanted a lappy with 4gb RAM, at least 360gb hardrive, an i5 processor (I hear nothing but great reviews on the new i processors) and decent graphics card. Anyway, I found this at my local Best Buy for $700 and on Amazon for $611. I was wondering if any of you had this lappy and if anyone could offer any insight into its capabilities? I want to use it mainly for day-to-day surfing and office stuff, but I also want to run games (WoW, Starcraft II, etc.) without lag.

Thanks in advance,
GB

I've actually had a chance to use one of those in my feild of work and they are great for the price. I believe that is the Nvidia 310 or 330 for the graphics. Either way, not the best that you can get in a laptop but definitely in the running for one of the better setups you can get out there, especially at that price point.

Alright, so apparently the R580 Does not have the i5 processor. Apparently there was some miscommunication somewhere, and most websites say "i5" when its actually a normal Dual-core. Anyway, I was really looking for a lappy with the i5. Anyone have any suggestions? (I would like to stay in the $500-$800 price range, please)
