need your help for suggestions. with RM4-5k budget
1) 15in 2) mostly used for photo processing and internet 3) occasional games (but not hardcore gamer) 4) no need for Bluray or HD
am leaning towards dell's studio 15 with added RAM. am also guessing that a core i7 would be good for photo processing. what other suggestions are there? (asus has some interesting choices but their model range is quite convoluted) thank you.

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Nov 3 2009, 01:47 PM) how much ram you're thinking? studio xps 16 is a better upgrade  6-8Gb roughly. but the XPS16 with that setup and core i7 will be beyond 5k. and i don't want something so big and heavy too. This post has been edited by lanatir: Nov 3 2009, 02:36 PM

QUOTE(LokiD.d.G @ Nov 3 2009, 04:54 PM) Anything above 4GB of laptop RAM isn't worth the money currently, IMO, as that would require the use of at least one 4GB SO-DIMM module which costs a bomb. You could always take the SXPS 16 base package with the i7, 4GB of RAM and HD4670. yes thanks guys. that's also an option as RAM is indeed madly expensive. as it is, with the config that i want, the sxps16 will be ard RM5400+ even with 4Gb RAM and core i7. my worry about the added weight is that the ard 0.5 kg heavier than the s15 (and will probably take up a bit more space too). btw does asus have an sxps16 equivalent?
