Hey guys, is there a difference between the 2 wireless card they offer on the site for the i7 specs? The prescribed wireless card says N (malaysia) , so does that mean you can only get wireless signals in Malaysia?

"Prototype", didn't play this game on my laptop b4...
But i play with desktop 8800GT, seem to be ok with high settings.. fps around 40-60.. So, i think high setting would be ok for laptop.. V-SYNC off by the way.

I don't know if it is good, playing Prototype with High Setting 1280x720 always from 30 fps drop till 5fps.

If play with Low Setting, the fps somehow stabilise at around 25++fps.

i think i heard this b4, it is because of the driver...

You can get any wireless signal as long as they are 802.11 a/b/g/n, not restricted to Malaysia

Sorry if I have to come out with this question, but nevertheless I still don't get it.
A laptop versus a desktop.

Laptop specification with processor 2.8GHz with Mobility Radeon 4670 and 4GB of RAM, while desktop specification with processor of 2.0Ghz with same graphic card and 3GB of RAM.

But playing game wise, the laptop endured less FPS than the one at desktop.

What could be the problem?

you can't really mix desktop part and notebook.
though they have the same name, they are not the same performance.
even the best mobile gpu from nvidia GTX280m is only near 9800GTX desktop power.

desktop HD4670 runs at a faster clock than the laptop counterpart...

I see, thanks guy for the clarification.

i think is not the GPU problem... i'm sure Mobility HD 4670 can play "Protoype" as some of my friend play it using Mobility HD3470 and NVidia 8400GS with Low-Mid settings.. and it play smooth by the way... should be driver problem... jz wait till the latest driver for win7... or u can try use desktop mod driver instead.

I tried the desktop mod driver.
Used everything at Lowest at 1280x720.
It could somehow reach 40+ fps but could drop till around 10+fps.
I envied my friend's desktop with the same GC but can play at high setting with no problem at all.

Beside that, I'm kinda scare to OC my GC.

desktop is always more powerful than notebook with the same budget...

Sigh, I'm just so so so bad towards OC stuff.
I just wanna tweak a little.

i think that problem is called "fps breakdown"... search internet for solution...
or else Lookup this post : Post from how_5589
Some1 did mention bout fps breakdown b4 this.. try the method he state, and post your result...
what software u use for checking the fps??
have u try other games??

I think I shouldn't expect so much from this laptop. Anyway I'm quite happy with it now.
I use Fraps by the way.

Oh ya, anyone tried dual boot it with Windows 7 installed first?
I have no luck dual booting it with Windows XP SP3, some problem just keep pop out.
Maybe should I try it with other version of Windows XP?
Comment are well appreciated, thanks!

Dell Studio XPS 13 (P8700 2.53GHz+ Nvidia G210M) with 9-cell battery would last how long while surfing in the intergrated 9400m graphic?

what about the 6-cell?

Ahh. I noticed you upgraded your WiFi Card too.. about RM 80 right?

So far, i been playing games such as Modern Warfare 2, GRID, Resident Evil 5, Need For Speed Shift..
with resolution 1280x720, mid-high settings.. and it run smooths... I didn't turn on Fraps and didn't notice any "super-lag" (5 fps) occur.
If can u try others game, see got any fps breakdown...

Windows 7 should have Windows XP mode, if u install Professional or Ultimate version.

Alright, will test it.

Oh I just wanted dual boot Windows XP for some personal reason.
