My major needs is doing programming, office applications, and web srufing. And I want matte (non reflective) screens.

good multitasking ability is a must as I normally open many programs at one time, whereas my graphics requirement is not too high as those gamers. My budget is 1500 - 2500. My questions are:

1. Would there be big difference between Series 3 & 5?
2. Would there be big difference between Intel & AMD chips used on these Samsungs?
3. Which model would suite me best? I'm comparing it to Asus N56VZ which has 15'6" Matte screen, only that it's a little pricey at 2600+.

Big thank you to all...

yeah i left out that one, as i only looked at intel cpus. for this samsung + amd combo, besides a short startup time, is it on par with those i5 systems in terms of multitasking performance? off course, games are not included...
