just customized on US site...GTX 285 + the best thermal compound with FullHD LCD is 1744 USD, which is RM5748..crazy price

Go Sager

actually if u don mind throwing 5-6K on laptop that can last quite some time(not to mention nice look also..for me), sager can be ur choice...
but right now to me, s42 enough XD

Even Envy 15@$1250 with the $300 coupon is also fine XD
i5, HD5850, matte 15.6'' FullHD, 3 fan inside, 2.4KG...

clarify a bit...

9600M GT's desktop equivalent is 9500GT/8600GT... 32SP, 128-bit

desktop 9600GT is 64SP, 256-bit (yeah, 256-bit for a mid-end card, same as the performance 9800s... NV was indeed desperate to do sth abt HD3800 at that time... )

my HD4650 (lower core/DDR clock than S57 already) can score 6.4k on 3D Mark 06 comfortably @ 1280x768... 9600M GT iirc is max 5.9k (as tested by owners in this thread)

but heck, S42 is so darn cheap...

mine is the earliest batch, using T9550.. .

anyway, i would say, better go for others like 4820TG, Y460 and N82Jv... performance is still decent for N81Vp, but the new models are better at lower price as well... at the very least, u dun need to import...

Yup, S42 is darn cheap and got nice GPU so, for mid-level gaming is recommended to get this laptop ..while maybe after this, the one that will conquer 14" reign would be Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG which both Price:Performance ratio are just

Seems like its quite norm now having 4-6K 3dmark06 score..
Later on when my Acer died on me, wonder how much can it upgrade to

Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG...
Erm, once again another temptation. First A42JR, then S42 but now 4820TG???

must....stop...thinking...and....just...buy....S42....

just a suggestion...get external keyboard for s42...then u wont be feeling the graphic card heat, and as a result, no worrying that..hehe

@BBXiong: Man, u really read my mind, huhu...

BTW, this model will not overheating, right????

As long you don't close the vent and give good airflow, I don't think it would overheating...

unless 9xC for you is overheating, that's another story....

nothing on around MYR 2000 for sager eh with like 5650 or GT 260?? lolz

i guess just have to stay on with my s42.. haha..

@Games4life.

i think a42jr isnt any good.. 9600gt still pawns 5470.. lolz..

either go for timelinex 4820tg or s42.. which i'd opt for 4820TG.. specs pawn s42.. hahaa..

overheat for s42.. nope.. but expect heat on palm rest when gaming..

The only deal I remember was last year, Lenovo Y550, T4400 + Nvidia GT240M for $5xx after coupon...

Hope that my CoolerMaster can deal with d temp well...

oh.. means bad keyboard.. hahaa..

@games4life:
my highest temperature record was 98C, with Bioshock 2, ultra overclocked settings(just recently)...or else it would say around 93C, and CoH can dump the temp to around 95C, and steadily increases to 97C after 2 hours gameplay..but that was before i get my heatsink fixed..after that i remember was around 94C max, and i didnt tried prolonged gameplay since then...

@Batusai: ur S42 comes with windows 7 already or u upgrade it personally?

and those are not really considered overheating for s42, it's consider normal loading temp
