guys,i want to ask your a few questions biggrin.gif

QUOTE
  15.6" Edge to Edge Full High Definition(1080p) Display with TrueLife™
          16.0"UltraSharp™ Full High Definition (1080p) RGBLED Display with TrueLife™
                 15.6 " 1080p WUXGA (1920x1080) WLED Full HD Display with 2MP cam
1)any differences between these 3 monitor?
Edge to edge means? sweat.gif
Edge to Edge,RGBLED,WUXGA WLED, which one is better?


2)about the Studio XPS 16, there is 4 different model, from c2d up to core i7
the c2d model and the i5 model, how much different arh between them (the performance, temperature)?
which one is worth to buy(excluded i7 one)?

3)i think i'm quite dilemma lah now icon_question.gif
dont know want to choose which one(acer 5741g, asus a42jv, dell xps 16, any suggestions?hmm.gif )
but i love the design of XPS 16 drool.gif drool.gif
she's a eye-catcher


my mum offer me the budget for my laptop smile.gif
she gave me 3k for the max(perhaps i can add more with my own $$ hmm.gif )
i need laptop for college use
for sure the laptop is for assignment use, beside that, entertainment for sure
i will use the laptop for movies(mostly rmvb lah, HD video from torrent, and PPS)



4)for gaming section, since i had a desktop that still can handle the new games with mid/low settings, i think i wont use the laptop for heavy gaming lah
about the GPU, i know that 5730 has better peformance than 4670
but how's the temperature for 4670?
any heat issue for this laptop?
because i read some review said that the old laptop equipped with 3870 one got wor(correct me if i'm wrong)
during normal usage like surfing webpages, watch movies, how's the temperature for the laptop?
during idle leh?

5)does the touch pad & keyboard will become hot and uncomfortable during normal usage? or it just nice and comfortable to put our hand on it?
how about during gaming mode?

6)about the warranty,
i'm in sabah, so it should be no problem for the technician come to my home to fix my laptop right?
or it will take more time for the technician come to my home compared to peninsular malaysia?

7)"XPS Premier Service with CompleteCover" < can you guys explain it to me?

thanks notworthy.gif

sorry for tons of question

how about Kaspersky?
i'm using KIS 2010
quite ok
i bought the 3PC license version from the last pc fair, shared with my friends, cost me around RM37 (10x/3)

just my 2 cents

i want to add a little bit apart from lee info for you

2) get at least the i5 version lo

3) better get the SXPS16..watching movie is syiok man
SXPS 16 is the 3999 one or what? hmm.gif
7) get at least the 2yXPS Premier Service with CompleteCover..if your budget permit that is and it is for your future protection..
got more budget??? get the three year one..haha
i checked already, only got
QUOTE
2-year XPS Premier Service with 1-year CompleteCover/3-year XPS Premier Service with 1-year CompleteCover/3-year XPS Premier Service with 3-year CompleteCover

maybe i will go for 2-year XPS Premier Service with 1-year CompleteCover



deal with the SA to get more price cut or free gift..and this depends on your upgrade also (got no way to prove but from my experience i got around RM400 of discount based on proc, graphic and warranty upgrade)
if i choose the 3999 one, just upgrade the GPU(or maybe with warranty), how big is the chance that i can get the discount?



my budget kinda tight lah man
but thanks for the info notworthy.gif

want to ask one question lagi
does Dell's warranty covered dead pixels for the monitor?
just wonder

kinda worry about it, since last time i bought my desktop with monitor
the monitor got 1 red dead pixel
then the 2nd day terus go to the shop request for a new unit..
fortunately the shop exchange a new monitor for me and tested it for me on the spot to make sure it doesn't have dead pixel

Though only works for C2D,
For those with half multiplier like P8700, the undervolt would cost ~100MHz since RMClock don't support it, e.g for P8700 it would be running@2.4Ghz instead of 2.5GHz...
Chat with SA, then checkout with his name, pay, email him the payment and wait...

thanks lee smile.gif
just now heard from my friend that dell's quality not very good?
any comment?
should i add RM96 for 4GB RAM? hmm.gif
