yeah, but different processor, here we only got ql-64 and ql-65, no rm-74

the difference should be the rm-74 have lower p-state and higher frequency.

k50ab has 15'' and heavier, others remain the same.

lenovo for 2.3k only get intel 4500mhd or g105m, which still inferior from hd4570.

free gift, depends on the shop

OS = operating system, need to buy your own windows
iirc = if I remember correctly.

if there is no old software problem, windows 7 is the way

you need to customize it to have backlit keyboard, it doesn't come by default.
4gb is useless if you are not using 64-bit OS.

I see.
from 3gb to 4gb shouldn't be any improvement, unless you are already using all 3gb.

how much ram you're thinking?
studio xps 16 is a better upgrade

well, photoshops love lot of ram
please do increase the warranty if you can afford it, its a wise choice.

happy hunting ^^

hmm... should be only 4 type
s42 with 320gb hdd and one with 500gb
s57 with bd-drive and one with dvd-drive.

what heavy apps are you considering?

T has 35w TDP while P has 25W TDP, which means P should have lower temp in max load.
while SU is more to power saving but less performance.

how long to start computer usually depends on the hard drive and how you optimize the windows.

external dvd can be found on most computer shop, ranging rm 100-200

if the online you mention is only flash games, then dedicated graphic card is not needed, because its mostly depends on processor, meanwhile in the end of this year, adobe might release gpu acceleration for flash.

DDR2 and DDR3 only have couple minutes different in battery life while DDR3 cost much more than DDR2.

hp dv3-2111tx is nice choice if you need the dvd-drive and some basic gpu with p-series processor.
13z if you need the extra battery life.
but if you want to game, better stick with studio 15, or benq s42 if you can strech your budget for the windows 7.

t6600 is enough unless you are very demanding.

HDMI is the same with vga and dvi but different connector, it can output audio and video at the same time, to connect to bigger tv.

well, those people who have needs in gaming or heavy application that utilized gpu. If just for watching movies, etc, intel gma is more than enough.

to survive 3-4 years, mostly depends on how the user treat it and how he/she demanding and lucks.

usage? any specific weight? battery life?

led is supposed to have brighter screen with less power usage.

non-glossy surface is kinda hard, even the dell vostro 1320 lid is glossy.
toshiba m900 is not that good in battery life also weighted at 2.2kg.
sony sr55 with hd4570, for your need you wouldn't need the dedicated gpu, since its just wasting battery life and produced more heat.
fujitsu, no comment. looks like it has glossy body.
inspiron 13z, have the best battery life out of those, but performance wise is weaker than all of them, but sufficient for office and net surfing.
