Hi guys, I'm in the market for a new gaming laptop and I wanna ask you gurus for some opinions.

I know Dell was trying to downplay its XPS line as the gaming line, but when I did some online comparisons I found I could actually get an XPS with very similar specs to the M15x with just a Studio XPS16.

Both have:

Intel® Core™ i7-740QM (1.73GHz, 4Core/8Threads, turbo boost up to 2.93Ghz, 6M cache
8GB (4GBx2) 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
1GB DDR3 ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5730
640GB SATA HD-- XPS is 5400RPM while M15x is 7200RPM

The only other difference is the screen, I guess: M15x 15.6 " Full HD (1080p) WLED (1920 x 1080) Display with TrueLife™ vs XPS' 16.0"UltraSharp™ Full High Definition (1080p) RGBLED Display with TrueLife™

But the price difference is like RM1.3k! That's an Apple-like premium right there. Perhaps for the cooling system?

Also, would it be better to buy direct from Dell or reseller? Thanks guys
