    Hi I purchased this last Thursday. Just give a few days extras than the 3 days mentioned in the description. It's coming direct from Samsung. Im expecting delivery tomorrow. Also interested to hear of others opinions (even if it's too late) as I did shop around and think its good value. A few guys in pc world agreed with me also and they had little reason to be honest! 495 euro

    An i5 for less than €500, good deal :)

    However Tinie, from what your description of your needs you would be better off with a quad core processor and maybe a entry level dedicated graphics card.
    That will set you back an extra few €'s but will be better at video encoding and play your games smoother.

    But yeah, that laptop is a good deal and it will play the games you listed and the i5-2430m is a very good processor.
