    Hello folks.. As the title refers 'The edge'. I hope you can help me out here, because Im really on the edge with this laptop, so close buying it, so close not buying it. Heres my history:

    I just graduated as webdeveloper. All my time studying I borrowed a laptop from my school, a Lenovo T420i.. Nothing amazing in my book. But it worked as a programmer and graphic laptop, and now I need something even better. Overall the Samsungs spec fulfills my needs. I love Intel and Nvidia and yes even Samsung, they make such great products.

    One issue I came across reading these forums is the screen on this laptop, even review around the internet speaks poor about its panel. But as I can see these review are made with the NP700Z5C S01 version - and I can get hold of the NP700Z5C S04 pretty cheap in my country. (Around 1000$ and 930€, located in Denmark)

    So my final question is: How is the screen on this version if any different from others? - Im a webdeveloper. I need a good screen, doing graphics, programming and such.. I simply cant understand if Samsung is doing a "bad screen" with this laptop setup. :)

    I hope you guys can help me out here.

    Best regards,
    Hylle

    ** Edit:

    I can even refer to this topic saying something about an improved monitor, but I dont know if this has been confirmed and is the same on the S04 version: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sam...eres-np700z5c-ivy-bridge-140.html#post8909764
