anyway, me still undecided which notebook to get ...

the FHD is a must ... but I still prefer it with the latest i7 CPU and light weight ...

14 or 15 does not make much difference ...

I was eyeing on the Asus N53SN, but no FHD.

then the Dell XPS 15 MLK ... weight with 9 cells 2.87kg, still bearable, but noticed the graphic card was okay only.

Then the Alienware M15x ... but then the weight is > 3kg I think and not the latest CPUs ... by the way, I just noticed the M15x link is gone from Dell Malaysia website, or did I missed something?

So maybe the M14x is more suitable for me? at least it is still below 3kg ....

Hmm ... really hard to decide ...

Or should I just settle with the XPS15 MLK ...

Do you have the site for the Sager as suggested?

Just checked out the M17x ... 4.3kg .... O_o

And it did not mentioned about the speakers and sound system, and how long can the 9 cell primary battery can last, anyone using it can share some info?

Thanx.

Did a bit of customization:
- Slot Load Fixed Blu-ray BD-ROM / DVD + /-RW Combo Drive
- 1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M
Total price RM7831, a bit over my budget but I can still manage, but the weight .. 4.3kg ... ... imagine the weight of 2 notebooks (1x M17x + 1 HP Compaq 6910p) on my back when I am traveling ...

hmm ... but the hand-carry luggage weight max is only 7kg ...

Now I normally fly Emirates or Singapore Airline ... so far they never checked the weight of my hand-carry, coz every time sure exceed one.

But once I was traveling to Hong Kong on a business trip, using MAS, they ask me to weight my hand-carry luggage ... and it was like 12kg ... they force me to juggle the stuff from my hand-carry and the check-in luggage ... what a mess at the airport there .... I ban MAS from that day onwards.

Yeah, I am still *trying very hard* to NOT to exceed the hand-carry max weight limit ... .... but some how fails every time, with my full gear camera bag itself is already >10kg, now if with 2 more notebooks ....

I normally only dump my food supply, toiletries, clothing into the check-in luggage, the rest that is critical to my work I will bring in as hand-carry, no matter how heavy they are, as I got bad experience when I was flying in to *some* country, my check-in luggage bag only reach my hotel door step 7 days later my arrival ... imagine my external HDD, power cables all in that check-in luggage, and I could not start my work without those ...

Yeah, that is why my hand-carry always exceed the max weight ...

Yeah, thats bcoz there is only 1 flight per week flying in to that country, my luggage got stranded in Joburg airport during my transit, and have to wait for the next week's flight to deliver my luggage.


Anyway, we are totally out of topic dy ...

Now still thinking whether should I proceed with the M17x of 4.3kg ...
