The Series 7 Gamer features an optimized gaming mode, which turbo cools the CPU to keep it working at full speed for non-stop gaming action. The Windows key and touchpad can also be disabled using the Gaming mode settings to avoid accidental interruptions, and the main gaming keys are highlighted in red, so you play faster with fewer errors.

With the third-generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, you'll get excellent multitasking capabilities whether you're playing immersive 3D games or creating HD video. And Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0.1 increases speed automatically for whatever you're doing. It's also equipped with a read-only Blu-ray Disc drive--offering the convenience of high-definition movie playback with the utility of DVD and CD read/write functionalities.

It comes pre-installed with the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium and it includes Microsoft Office Starter 2010 with limited-functionality versions of Word and Excel (learn more below).

Every Mode Is Easy

You live to game. But sometimes you need your laptop for other reasons. That's why the Series 7 Gamer comes equipped with an easy-to-use mode dial. Simply turn the dial to select from four different settings for optimized performance: Gaming, Balanced, Battery-Saving or Quiet mode (which reduces fan noise and disables sounds and lights).

Next-Level Gaming

True to its name, the Samsung Series 7 Gamer is optimized for hardcore gaming. From the ergonomic u-shaped keys and 2.7mm keystroke to the innovative functionality that disables the Windows key and touch pad when a game is inserted, it's designed to give you an edge on the competition. It even highlights the gaming keys (WASD) in red when you're in gaming mode. So you can play faster with fewer errors.

More Power to Play

Faster than ever, the Series 7 Gamer comes powerfully equipped with the latest Intel Core i7 Processor. In Gaming mode, the CPU is turbo-cooled to keep it working at full speed. The Series 7 Gamer also features 16 GB of memory and a 1.5 TB HDD with ExpressCache technology, which improves startup, application launch, and more.

It allows you to play your audio louder with less distortion for a completely immersive experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars A snarling beast of a laptop, with just a few quirks, May 17, 2012

This review is from: Samsung Series 7 NP700G7C-S01US 17.3-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
EDIT 1: A reader of this review pointed out to me that Intel's Ivy Bridge tech uses dual-channel RAM. CPUID was reading the RAM at 800 MHz, but in reality it is 800 MHz x 2, so the RAM in this laptop is actually 1600 MHz. Sweet! Thanks, Roy!

EDIT 2: I'm currently playing Max Payne 3, and this machine handles it wonderfully. I'm running it in DX11, all settings on "Max" (pun intended ;-) ), with FSAA, HDAO, and 4x AA; at 1920 x 1080 I'm consistently hitting 30-40 FPS (V-Sync is off, because switching it on turns the frame rate into syrup-dipped glue). This is a huge relief since the original Recommended Specs from the publisher were ridiculously over the moon (hexacore processor, 3GB VRAM). After the backlash over those specs, Rockstar backed off and said those were the specs of the best system they tested it on, but... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for gaming!!!, May 4, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Samsung Series 7 NP700G7C-S01US 17.3-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)
I bought this a few days ago and it seems to be a great laptop very fast boot up and I like the mode changer gamer, balanced etc. This laptop is even faster than my current desktop gaming pc which I thought was interesting. I was worried about the over heating issues with ivy bridge but from I seem to be experiencing it seems to run very cool even on gaming mode. :)
the only downside is the power adapter is a 200w brick. it's big and heavy (about 5 lbs)

Very happy with my purchase and never regretted buying it.

OK, I just got this baby today and I managed to download and install some basic stuff.

For all of you gamers out there who are thinking about buying it, here's some basic data (more to come in the next update):

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Crysis 2
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

All of them run in FullHD, everything on MAX, without a single problem.

3D mark Vantage v1.0.2 results

3D Marks - couldn't calculate. I guess equipment is too new for software this old :)
GPU Score: 8270
CPU Score: 53420

Next step: I will install FRAPS and measure frame rate in 3 above mentioned games.

Next next step: Install ME3 and check it out :)
