    But there's an excess, and a single item limit, and increased premiums if you have to claim.....

    If I was replacing my 'main' computer, I'd think about it :D
    But not for me, for travelling with :)

  • The turbo boost will be a built in overclocking facility on the main processor. Most intel chips are capabale of running faster that they are labelled. Samsung is probably picking the best of the bunch and with right cooling it would allow to boost the speed to higher level.

    Even on standard speed the laptop is more than capable of operating at well. Had a play with it in Comet but as was last on display unless it gets discounted heavily would buy it so now looking for stock somewhere as its a nice little laptop
