Hey, i bought this laptop today, and it seems pretty awesome to me, do you think I got a good deal for what I paid?

One thing I cant tell from the specs is if the Samsung has an optical drive or not? 

Samsung has 8750M, ASUS has 7670M, so i assume the samsung is actually better.

The Samsung one has better specs.

Edit :

The Asus one has a bigger monitor.

You could probably game with both of them, as I said the Samsung one has nicer specs, just a choice between specs vs monitor size preference.

The ASUS has better graphical power and 2 more CPU cores for only $20 more. Go for that one.

If you decide later you want a hard drive upgrade, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Edit:  Correction, you get 2 more CPU cores and better video and save $20.

So the samsung is a better buy if I want better FPS and game settings? so it basically beats the Asus in all forts other then screen size and res?
