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...

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 cry.gif

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

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... cry.gif

That is really up to you, seeing as it is your cash. It offers good performance for its price and is extremely suitable for people looking to get a little more out of their games. Everyday computing capabilities ain't to shabby either. And I absolutely love its RGBLED screen, though you do have to pay a premium price which isn't quite worth it, IMO.

ya2...my fwen sed so oso...not worth it buyin da RGBLED coz its too expnsve cry.gif
btw,do u think da price of spxs 16 wil kam down abit within dis few days???
i 1na buy it asap coz my xm is on 9/11..

There's a known issue with Dell QuickSet (at least for me and some Studio XPS 1640 users), it seems that every time when I use the Caps Lock key to change from upper case to lower case and vice versa, weird stuff happens:
When renaming files, hitting the Caps Lock will quit the renaming process; it's as if you just hit the Enter key while you're using the Caps Lock key.

Another scenario is when you're messaging someone, writing an e-mail or posting on forums with a web browser, hitting the Caps Lock key will inevitably bring out other windows previously minimized in you taskbar or shift the focus of the window to other windows. Again, it's as if you've hit the Alt-Tab combination keys while using the Caps Lock.
I find this annoying at best, at first I thought my Caps Lock key is broken; searching around with Google didn't yield any potential solution to this problem.

But today, I discovered the root of the problem: Dell QuickSet; as strange as it seems, this program has been causing me much pain over the past few months.

This morning, I released my frustration on the Caps Lock key. I depressed the Caps Lock key for a brief moment (while clenching my teeth in frustration) and I saw my web browser window blinking rapidly (like pressing the F5 key in the Explorer window to refresh your file list etc), then I thought maybe the Task Manager will show me which application/service is consuming the most CPU resources while I'm holding down the Caps Lock key. So I brought up Task Manager, depress the Caps Lock key and observe the CPU usage for each processes.

Lo and behold, Quickset.exe and Explorer.exe consumes the most amount of CPU resources with the Caps Lock key depressed. Quitting QuickSet solves the problem, finally.

So if anyone's Caps Lock key is acting very weird lately, give this solution a go.

quickset=software in dell sxps 16??? blink.gif

Yeah, that's what QuickSet does; controlling the CD/DVD eject button and displaying the volume/LCD brightness/WIFI/Bluetooth HUD.
Quitting QuickSet should prevent any further popups saying it's not working, but you won't be able to use the CD/DVD eject button.

we cant off da quickset??
