in my opinion, dell studio xps is not meant for gaming.. it is for some light gaming, not hardcore gaming or long hours gaming.
even though the graphics and cpu is there, but what about the heat sink and cooling system?

correct me if im wrong..

studio xps gets heat up to maximum 105 degree celcius after gaming for 30 miniutes (total war). tat was my frens studio xps. it was scary >.<

his gpu reach 105 and after that burnt... xD
i think his heatsink got problem.. cuz he hardcore gamer, everyday gaming for 2 - 3 hours liddat.

now his laptop screen blackout , cannot switch on edi.. mayb motherboard also sot liaw.. so moral is, don take ur laptop for hardcore gaming... really kills it ...

i went for m11x cuz my budget under 4k and lookin for a gaming laptop which does not heat up like crazy T.T

i have considered studio xps once, but after seeing my fren's xps hot like hell, i scared edi.

m11x didn offer a good cpu, but its gpu is decent enough for u to last at least 1 to 1.5 years from now.



cpu wise, i think su7300 is not bad for that 6hours of battery life. in fact, su7300 is actually quite a good proc edi.

to me, i need portability very much.

when i stay and use it at hostel, i will connect it to a big monitor and a keyboard

thats for me la, of coz u wan under 4k gaming laptop + portability, u need some sacrifices

get some laptop with very very good cooling system will solve your problem without a need to change ur old habit ^^
