Hmm... no idea if I need DX11. So the answer is probably not. If taken heat management, build quality (touchpad, keyboard) and after sales service, would you still prefer s42?

Isn't the heat going to shorten the lifespan of the GPU? I had a Dell Inspiron 640M and they fixed mine within 3 days when it was faulty. They even fixed those minor issues. I was very happy with their service. If it takes one week for any company to fix a laptop, I would say it's way too long since for a student, a laptop is just too important.

I don't really like the 5740G in terms of the super glossy screen and rather shallow keyboard. Decided to order studio 15 with full HD screen albeit the graphic card is weaker.
