GT 425M and GT 435M are basically the same GPU...
but take note Asus come with 2yrs int'l warranty, and Band & Olusfen audio, and of course the numpad too...
Enquiries/Recommendations Asus N53JQ or new Dell XPS 15

honestly speaking the design of the new XPS is very plain...
lacks the attention seeking element in the old XPS and SXPS... especially so when compare with XPS M1730... Added on October 22, 2010, 9:53 amand when see GT 445M with 3GB VRAM, i was  even GTX 460M on G53Jw has only 1.5GB... Dell is going way overboard on that...

well, it's either Dell is getting lazy on design, or they are trying very hard not to be another AW-like model... like the XPS M1730...
but i ve to say it again, it looks really like the old Asus N series... Added on October 22, 2010, 10:58 am QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Oct 22 2010, 10:57 AM) And the really expensive AW or G73JH only have 1GB. more like a case of: Do we really need that much memory?  "OHH 3GB RAM!!! THAT's GONNA ROCK!!!"  phail...This post has been edited by astria: Oct 22 2010, 10:58 AM |

QUOTE(Borsch Soup @ Oct 22 2010, 12:39 PM) Ok guys let's say I buy the rm2999 plain vanilla version, is it worth? I am really attracted to the better build quality and JBL subwoofer usually is only available on rm4000 machine right? considering the next closest is Lenovo Y460, yes i think it's worth for the hardware u get... at least u ve 1 more inch of monitor size... |

QUOTE(Mr.Docter @ Oct 22 2010, 12:52 PM) why not? sound and look pretty good to me. i thought laptop speakers are never good to start with??? but someone claimed JBL subwoofer is not really quality. i don't know about that too, but maybe you could be the first owner of XPS 15 in LYN later  |

QUOTE(Iphone4Lover @ Oct 31 2010, 08:02 PM) LOL i thought the Full HD version of XPS15 is being available since the 1st day it come to Malaysia? depends on who using.... http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/con...s=dhs&cs=mydhs1 It is in the configuration option at just RM411(which is cheaper than upgrading XPS16 to 16'' B+RGLED) If i have to buy XPS 15 i will upgrade the screen to Full HD first then only consider other part. 720P on 15.6'' is just. if say it's my old man who will be the one using, of course 720p... |

QUOTE(LightningFist @ Nov 1 2010, 02:53 PM) The average 15 inch laptop does not have a numpad. It's not a flaw. Only some like Sager/Asus/MSI/Toshiba have it on <16 inch laptops, but they weight a heap too. actually more like the trend is to ve numpad on 15.6" laptops...Dell is one of the few who doesn't have it... |

QUOTE(putochip123 @ Nov 1 2010, 03:18 PM) which means GT335 is worth to get compare to GT425? im sure GT435 will better than GT335. and Fermi architecture... which is suppose to be better in GPGPU...But 3 of them improvement is minor only right, GT4xx which support DX11 and Direct compute 5.0 right? i am starting to wonder if improvements in the 400M family can only be seen in GPGPU but not gaming... |
