Review Samsung Series 7 Chronos 770Z5E-S01DE Notebook

[NoedelMan]

Hello i have the NP880Z5E - touchscreen, black but i have mager fps issues i turned silent mode off, pluggid my pc in and set the game on high preority. i got max 60fps on minecraft all max, fullscreen but i should be getting 112fps :S same with simcity with everything tuned down i get 40fps but u should be getting 80. i did update my AMD driver to 13.6 beta2 and then turned it back to 13.1(also my intel driver is now at the begging version when you buy this laptop) that helped with some games like skyrim before i cant go above 21fps(diddnet matter what settings i picked) but now in 13.1 i get 45fps on high. i also tryd reinstalling java, windows updates etc.
and my dxdiag says that there is a error with direct3D but when i tried to reinstall directx11 it says that i already have the most updated version. only BF3 runs pretty good (dx9) but better at the 13.6 driver. and i get only 10fps on "3DMark11Workload1" with is weard i think
i got insurande for this laptop so i dont want to overclock it but still at the stuck settings is should be doing better than this dont you think?

I have to agree with too many of the comments here: This review of this awesome Samsung Series 7 is good if not fulfilling, leaving too many pertinent questions unanswered; but why does NOTEBOOCHECK   :-\  insist upon calling this a casual gamers device for casual gamers when this Samsung clearly rings the 'GAMER'S BELLS AND WHISTLES!'   :)

Hi. I got exactly this laptop. I want exchange this qwertz keyboard to UK qwerty version (US keyboard have another shape of enter) I found the keyboard on ebay, supposedly compatible model NP770Z5E, but I'm not sure if it will work properly. Whether the type designation S01DE/S01PL/S02FR ... has some effect on the compatibility?  Question is simple: Does anyone have any experience with replacing the keyboard in this model ?

I've had one of these for about 9 months now, and I'm very happy with it. Battery life is really, really good. The CPU is plenty for any task I throw at it. Trackpad, keyboard, etc are all good too. Sound is good enough for listening to music or watching a film.

The high-res display is very good, although 1920x1080 on a 15" display means that things often look small. Windows can increase font sizes by 25 or 50%, but this can mess up some other things, and graphics often don't look good when increased in size.

Only issue I've had is a bug with the display brightness - switching on from Standby, it occasionally gets stuck on 100% brightness, requiring a reboot, which is frustrating.

Final point: upgrading hard drive is not actually that difficult. I found a YouTube video that told me what to do. It just requires patience and a gentle touch.

All in all, very happy with this laptop. Recommended.

If you looking for used one don`t buy this one, you will have loads of problems regarding drivers and even basic things like mic and web cam, it seems samsung dont give a f about updating drivers & software to win 10.
