    No, the save on laptops one is much better specced to be fair, better cpu(i3 m380 > Pentium P6100(, more ram(4gb > 3gb) and bigger hard drive (500gb > 32gb)

    A core i3 would be a nice bit quicker than a pentium, it may be a first gen(2010) i3 but its one of the latter ones. The pentium in the amazon one is also a 2010 model, mind. The ram and hdd specs in the save on laptops one are better for obvious reasons..

    Its a very nice deal alright, no doubt about that. I can vouch for Samsung laptops anyway, having got one (from saveonlaptops.co.uk as it happens), a couple of months ago. Great build quality IMO, can only assume this model would be the same

    Not yet I was holding out for the R730 to go down in price. It was 399 but it went up to 440...:rolleyes:

    A mate got it and is very impressed I am ordering it shortly as my own laptop is on its last legs..
