Well, this Samsung you found is almost the same laptop I currently have, specs in my signature (the only difference is the GPU -- mine is slightly better). And forget the Turbo Boost at 3.4 GHz, it'll only run at that speed with only one core being used -- an almost impossible scenario -- so yeah, 3.2 GHz is the maximum you'll get assuming it doesn't overheat. By the way, replacing thermal compound is absolutely necessary given our warm weather, I used Prolimatech PK3 in my laptop and although it still gets a little hot while running Dolphin (85°C more or less), all games I currently own run smoothly at full speed, especially in current development builds (before replacing thermal compound, after 10 minutes of Dolphin the CPU would overheat and the laptop would shut down at around 100-105°C)
However, I still find a 4th gen Haswell more interesting and future-proof, the 5th gen of Intel processors already are available and you can even find some of them for sale in our local stores, so, at that point Ivy Bridge is pretty old, at least for me there's no point in buying anything older than Haswell if I would buy today. Unfortunately I've never seen a non-U model in brazilian stores (neither Ivy Bridge or Haswell -- in fact, I bought my current laptop outside of Brazil), the only exception being Avell which you can build your own laptop from a wide range of CPUs and dedicated GPUs but this comes at a price: Avell laptops aren't the prettiest, generally bigger and heavier than normal laptops and are reeeally expensive compared to the common laptops with low power processors widely available here.
