Anyone had dealings with Samsung laptops?

Good thread thanks. I'm in the market for a average sub $1k laptop and there is so much out there ......

WAY too much, a single brand or even a single bloody model can have way too many variations. They're worse then fucking cars

Once you factor in the features you want, the size of screen, the weight, perhaps the colour, size of keyboard (numeric keypad?), touchscreen, hard disk size, disk type (solid state?), optical drive (DVDr/w, blu ray or none at all), robustness factor, metal/plastic/unibody case, then the choice becomes a lot narrower. Factor in good build quality, decent New Zealand based technical and/or warranty support and the choice becomes very thin indeed.

Toshiba, Samsung or Apple (not applicable under 1K lol) would be my first 3 choices depending on requirements.
Lenovo, Panasonic or Asus would be the only other brands I'd consider.

Wouldn't bother with AMD stuff either...especially in a notebook.
