can consider the
Dell XPS 15, i7 740QM + nVidia GT435M@RM3499
a) now between both not much difference, the GT8400m was the faulty gc, not hp's problem.
b) service life, if ur talking about laptop service warranty, then it depends how many years warranty you buy lur. If ur talking about how long the laptop can tahan, then it depends on how you treat your laptop. If you dun damaged it (eg, put on bed and use for long hours, drop it etc) then it can last 3 years easily. And by then, the tech will be nearly outdated, and probably a good time to refresh your laptop. But of course you can use it for longer... my bro's first compaq laptop is being used by my dad for word processing only (7 years old)
thanks.. Dell XPS 15 got 2 models in my budget range..
1)Intel® Core™ i5-460M, 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 420M graphics (Rm2999)
2) Intel® Core™ i7-740QM, 2GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 435M graphics (RM 3499)
Question:
a) i would like to know is there any bad comments on the Nvidia GCs above?
b) 1Gb and 2Gb GC will have big different? and also the i5 -i7..
very sorry, i not really good in computer stuffs.. really thanks for the answers and patient.. =)
