    Any good deal? My old laptop which i bring to work broke couple days ago, this seems to be perfect for my usage (browsing/movies and some very light gaming). This specific model has i5 3317u, 500GB/24GB ssd cache, 4GB DDR3. Seems to be everywhere else for like 650-700€ in here. Dunno but it looks so sexy :) Also does it have lots of useless Samsung programs in the Windows install?

    If only 450€ then that is a good price. There are a few other threads such as this and this relating to the NP530.

    People don't complain about a lot of bloatware. Some of the Samsung software can be a nuisance but can be uninstalled.

    I bought my NP530U4C-S01ES for "just" 500€ (14" screen/core i5 3317u/8gb RAM/GT620M/24gb iSSD/1tb HDD) in the south of Spain.

    Of course it's not the best ultrabook in the world, but it's a quite good deal for many reasons
