About the Unigine Heaven, don't use the DX11 setting but DX9, DX10 with 1024x768 and no AA. See how it goes on the benchmark

QUOTE(BeastX @ Mar 24 2010, 05:23 PM) SPuNx, +1 Do you mind unscrewing the bottom and take a big/high res. pic. of the innards (under the cover), I'll like to know the slots available/components arrangement/access. Thanks two screws...? and you'll be able to pop it off?...... ![]() I too also wanna take a closer look on the interior just to see clearly whether the fan can be easily clean. Thanks +1 |

QUOTE(SPuNx @ Mar 25 2010, 12:36 AM) And about exposing the exterior, forgive me for not having sufficient tools for it, although its just a small screw driver. Take your time, no worries. the interior is somewhat important for me as it's like showing others how great your car's engine is Can I get it at a hardware store? I'll try it tomorrow.

I've ordered my adapter last time and they gave me a 1 week later date, which they said it's a bit slow since it'll be send from Japan(Not sure it's true or not This post has been edited by jotaro12: Mar 25 2010, 06:11 AM |

QUOTE(astria @ Mar 25 2010, 11:45 AM) only problem is that it's 17"... not everyone will want such large size... if it's 14" or 15" then it's a really good buy... Wouldn't think so as both display as a different car. One is a solid build with elegant design which also has a nice GC. While the other one would be less solid but with a smart/nerd design and still it possess a power to wow audience, with a lesser price tag but wouldn't this compete directly with SXPS16??? |

QUOTE(wanttobuylaptop @ Mar 25 2010, 03:29 PM) lolx, if u rather get a desktop..then u should not comment already... I'm OK when price around 2K-3K++ for a lappy, but 4k onwards is a bit off for me so would just settle a gaming desktop rather a lappy IMHO no, laptop price can NEVER fight a desktop, that is as true as the sun rise from east... Asus, if manage probably...i trust it will not only expand, it will Dominate... |

QUOTE(astria @ Mar 25 2010, 04:27 PM) i think it really depends on wat u use for... Yea, correct. Different purpose different preference. I'm a working class and for now portability is not my concern atm. Unless I need to travel a lot to do business, it's better to settle w/ desktop when price is 4k above for a student who needs to go overseas like me, rm5k imho is still consider ok... if not, i guess i would juz grab a desktop straight away instead... |

QUOTE(lawtm @ Mar 29 2010, 05:50 PM) lolx i think add 8 gb maybe need rm 400-500 and add hard disk also rm400-500 izzit . only add rm 1k only ma Upgrading from 4GB to 6GB already cost RM4xx, HDD you need to talk to the SA. If you really interested, just call Dell rather than asking questions which we can't answer. |

UPDATE: All Dell 3700 buyers who purchased their units from 18th March onwards(not sure about members who bought it earlier) will need to wait for a period of 1 month(estimated end of April) to complete their builds and delivery. So do update with your SA to see if you want a refund or willing to wait.
Sad news indeed. I just received the call from the Dell that due to the LED screen part shortage, later buyers(including mine This post has been edited by jotaro12: Mar 31 2010, 10:31 AM |

QUOTE(herofire86 @ Mar 31 2010, 12:53 PM) i ordered mine on 23 march, and i checked the order status on dell website , it says mine is in stage 4. shipped from factory I really don't know because my status haven't change since Day 1. After requested a call back, that's the news they gave me today so I think it might affect other buyers later than me. Unless its because of color selection too then I have no answer... what does your order status indicates? |

QUOTE(ReaperOfSoul @ Mar 31 2010, 09:17 PM) My dad's having doubts about asus cuz he havent heard about the brand b4 Maybe you can convince him with a "IBM" laptop, hehe. Only lack on Y460 is the USB 3.0 and screen reso. Warranty you can upgrade, N82jv hasn't arrive yet, JBL speakers on Y460(if you do care, hehe) and you can get it now. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Mar 31 2010, 09:47 PM) It'll do the trick on your dad mostly. But for tech guys, you'll know the last 4 companies(except Gateway) have been selling more laptops than the top 4, hence more faulty rate This post has been edited by jotaro12: Mar 31 2010, 09:53 PM |
