QUOTE(botak91 @ Oct 28 2010, 05:20 PM) It seems that the people who would have a problem with the new XPS 15 are avid gamers or at least people who demand higher performance rigs. For a basic user like me, who may play some games like SC2, Civ 5 and Dota, I think it would be sufficient. If not, are there any other notebook alternatives that are good value for money. You can have a look on G53/ G73.  |

QUOTE(LightningFist @ Oct 28 2010, 06:01 PM) Lmao look at the damn weight of G53/G73! I was using a 14 inch notebook or 5 years (but it was not really light). So when I bought a 15.6 inch laptop, weighing in at 2.75kg, it was very bulky at first - hard to move around on the table. Of course it isn't heavy to move around, but I mean it's really bulky. If you're not the type who likes huge machines, the G series is a bad idea. Otherwise, Alienware or G series would be good (except you have to import G series as it is hugely overpriced). Now if Dell quit screwing about and offered i5 + GT435M then I would buy XPS 15. They only offer 3 years warranty through customisation here >.<  Yea, you are right about the weight. If one really emphasize on mobility, then G-series notebooks would not be the ideal choice. However, if one hunger of performance, he/she can aims for G53/G73. Besides that, importing the beasts from US or Singapore is relatively cheap compared to the local resellers but it is worth it as I'm using one now. HIGH performance/ price ratio if I compare to AW.

QUOTE(botak91 @ Oct 28 2010, 11:12 PM) So I would suppose from what you guys are saying with regards to the way I'm answering and the usage I'll get out of the computer, buying this rig is quite a good deal? The only problem I have is the warranty issue. That's problem my biggest headache now. You can go to have a look on Asus notebooks as they all come with 2 years global warranty. |

QUOTE(ZeratoS @ Oct 29 2010, 09:02 AM) Reviews look good so far, are all you users happy with yours? After the disaster that was my XPS M1530 (RM6006) with its corroded palmrest, faulty GPU and bad thermal pasting, I'm a little on the hesitant side but I really need a decent laptop as my M1530 has been failing. What's worse is I have to order it from Malaysia and get it couriered to England. (What a predicament). Try to have a look on Asus G53. You may order it from GenTechPC and import it to UK. |
