8GB RAM is just a waste for u.

in fact, if u re only using for online games, the whole SXPS16 itself is overkill...

People with money like to overkill haha S15 should be more than enough

hik2..i noe
bt den, i cant grab my hands on alienware nor qosmio...
dats y i aim 4 sxps 16....
hurm~
if chnge to 8gb ram oso wasted r??

unless u re using stuff like Photoshop, yes 8GB is overkill for anyone...

4GB is already more than enuf...

For games alone, you will almost never utilize all 4GB of RAM, so 8GB is overkill.

But I like overkill. It makes sure your laptop is as future proof as it can be.

my pt is, if u get a Studio 15, which is also enuf (not as overkill as SXPS16), u save rm1k, and u can do so much more with that...

in fact, let me stress this as well, u can save rm2k by getting a Asus K50Ab, while still enjoying ur games...

i noe,bt den dey say notbooks othr den sxps 16 de grphic not nice..correct me if m wrong...

MSI G-series? Almost same price, 17" screen, HD4850 GPU. Better than the SXPS 16.

how much is the price ya??? can gv me da link??? available in MSIA or not??? i tot MSI hv heating probs bcoz i often leave my lappy on for 3 days straight

not nice for games like Crysis, World in Conflict, etc...

but it's still a bit overkill for online games...

heck, even my old laptop's 8600M GS, which is still weaker than HD4570, can play Cabal at high setting and lag only when a lot of ppl use skills at the same time...

when a lot of ppl use skills at the same time... -> this part is the actual cause that i wanna buy sxps 16 bcoz neva miss a war n really cant help losin war juz bcoz of laggys incldin while playin HS5

so,now i dno which 1 2 buyl...looked at evry spec d bt m more confused

well, HD4570 is 33% better than 8600M GS if we look at 3D Mark 06... in real life i expect at least 20% performance increase... so i doubt u'll lag when u play at high settings...

besides, i believe online games will stay at DX9.0C for at least 2 to 3 more yrs... DX10 is not performance friendly, and DX11 is still new... so there's not a really solid reason to get a graphic card that's totally overkill for wat u play...

of course, if u play offline big title games as well, that's another story...

now m confused whether wanna buy a laptop or not bcoz i need 2 use it 4 my classes coz m taking statistics and do tonz of modelin espcly in graphics...run my lecs prog bot mechanics engneerin bt my lappy cant stand it and str8 away shut down itself...

Ultimately you have to make up your own mind, you're the one using the notebook; if you're willing to spend on this notebook then by all means go ahead and get one.
I don't play games often, maybe once every 4 months; having this notebook isn't overkill for me, doesn't stop me from getting one either.

seem that sxps16 suit ur need.GET SXPS16

anyone facing fps breaks down problem while plying games?
