Hey fellas...im looking to get the Studio 16 with these specs:
Intel® Core™ i7-820QM Processor (1.73GHz,4 Cores/8 Threads,turbo up to 3.06GHz, 8MB Cache) Genuine Windows® 7 Professional 64bit (English) 6GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive Slot Load Fixed Blu-ray BD-ROM / DVD + /-RW Combo Drive 9-cell (85WHr) Lithium Ion Primary Battery ATI Mobility RADEON® HD 4670 - 1GB (No choice) 16.0"UltraSharp™ Full High Definition (1080p) RGBLED Display with TrueLife™-Obsidian Black Is the RM1,200++ for the proc upgrade from 720QM to 820QM worth it ? |

My current spec is
i7-720 win7 Pro 6GB RAM 500GB HDD BD ROM 3 year complete cover... So im torn between dropping the screen upgrade (save RM690) and upgrading the proc to the i7-820 for RM1200... Also, I emailed my DELL rep about the GPU refresh just now. She just replied: Dear Mr Rishy, No news on that yet as of today it is still the ATI Mobility RADEON® HD 4670 - 1GB This post has been edited by Rishy: Apr 1 2010, 03:28 PM |
