Hi,


Have the R51 serie the same problem with gpu than T42 ?

Could you indicate me the known problems on this serie ?

Particulary the 14.1" ?

Thanks,
T42 is paid and I hope seller is serious (pro). Waiting it.(no signs, reclaim in place)

If it's a model with ATI graphics, it's less likely but still happens.

There are also Intel graphics models that do not get the problem.

Also since the R series is not as thin as the T series they seem to flex a little less. Still they still use the same motherboards so the failure is still possible.
Find one with integrated graphics and there won't be much to worry about.

Ok,

R51 with intel or R60/61 or T60/61.

My budget say me R51, R51 !!

Scuse but do you know a forum about Samsung notebooks ?
I would be fixed to know if they are also resistant.
