by the way, what is ur budget? hinge issue can solve by calling dell tech to change for u, no need to worry.
But so far, mine dont have problem yet

if u have 5k wont dont u get M15x? u wan mobility?
this issue i had submitted to dell, but they say the build is like this, so we have to take a better way to close ur laptop lid ^^

5k can get Sager also btw. Dun 4get.

And to add, Mx11 does not have much problem except the hinge. Take more caution and it should be ok la

hehe.. would not call it boring but i think its just an understatement. really love the look of a friend/ some1 who come close and give a "whoa!" look. love it for its knight rider feel to it. lol

ya, would not

GC performance is not depends on the VRAM. dont misundertsnad

460 would be better

after get your m15x with 460m...do benchmark..wan to compare with ati 5850..he3..

optimus is nothing for gaming system.....

Extending warranty after purchase would be more expensive...

1) go for OCZ vertex 2 (must be 120GB above), in order for sandforce to perform well, 120GB is the option, OCZ have thier own firmware and the snaforce flash which had modified by them, hence it is perform better than any Sandforce in the market.

2)notebook RAM dont expect u can do anything, 1066 is good enough which the performance is not significant as well, if 1333 then 1333 if 1066 then 1066, no need to waste the money to by other brand.
If it is desktop then different story, for some of my friend which is rich and dont know how to "play" thier desktop and bought a 2000mhz RAM for no overclocking, is a waste

SSD dont go for corsai, go for OCZ. or original SSD from Dell, Samsung PM800, which perform better than any SSD in the market.
For RAM, dont waste money. use back original 1

is OCZ vertex II.
well, 4GB enough lor brother. since u are thinking to 8gB RAM, y dont u upgrade to 8gb while u buy ur laptop?
