    I'm looking at a new laptop and this thing caught my eye, but after reading some of these forums... With so many complaints about so many issues. Will I regret buying it? What are the actual issues that samsung hasn't fixed yet? Any specific model has less issues than the other?

    I'm mainly going to use as an entertainment machine (movies, flash videos, ms office)

    Please share your opinion.

    My opinion is that you should read one of the several threads created about this topic instead of making a new one.

    No unresolved issues from my perseptive. It's an awesome machine. I agree with Luterin, though - read the 1st and last few pages of the existing threads rather than asking everyone to regurgitate the same information here.

    I bought a NP700Z5A-S01US three days ago and it's going ok so far.

    But, as we can see so many reviews, opinions and threads, what I think could be good for every owner is a kind of conclussion-topic about these models made by you (the experts! :cool: ) including Pros, Cons, necessary updates, never-do issues, usual blue-screen-crash reasons, and any other relevant info.
    Could it be possible?

    Just have it for 5 days, I love it - even the screen, provided you upgrade it with the icc color file.
    Excellent keyboard, looks fantastic, quiet, never hot!
