When Dell puts the new SB processors in their XPS 15 line, how much would the price jump up from where its at now? Would it be above 4k?

Congrats on the purchase mate.

QUOTE(ben83 @ Jan 15 2011, 05:41 PM) Nobody can answer whether this laptop is wwan ready (eg. with empty pci-e slot & simcard slot)?? got some questions for you mate, Got a very good deal today at Lowyat, very tempted to get it. Best of all, it has Bluetooth & it is version 3.0  1. Were you down there in the flesh? if so, hows the feel of the lapop? in terms of build quality.. 2. stock! I reckon demand for this laptop must be crazy, would you have an idea about that? 3. deal, what kind are we talking about? when I bought my BenQ S41 2 years ago, I got an extra 2 gig ram upgrade, a free mouse and lock...something along those lines? 4. and finally, would you know if any other brands of laptops are coming in with the new SB processors just before the end of the month? thanks in advance, What a shame this doesnt have a full HD screen  This post has been edited by Dell2011: Jan 15 2011, 06:20 PM |

I found this very helpful in understanding the new SB processors and in relation to the last few posts, a good idea of how they price the new chips. And possibly helping you estimate what the entire machine would cost. So I thought I'd share it with you guys. I think Intel made a good decision releasing the Core i7-2630QM first. It's the entry level i7 processor, best bang for buck at just over $300. Optimal processors for mid-range 'entertainment' laptops. The Xtreme edition of the i7 rockets upwards of a grand. Those would be released later in the year on your xps' and alienwares. The i5s would come out around March. If you are planning to buy a laptop I would advice waiting till after February, giving you the luxury of being spoiled for choice. This post has been edited by Dell2011: Jan 17 2011, 03:57 AM |

QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Jan 18 2011, 08:46 PM) what do u mean by that? I dont think the Asus N53SN is out yet. I am praying it'd be available sometime next week. If you do know a confirmed release date, please get back to us...Cos out of those 4 laptops, its slightly the front runner for me personally.What about Y460p, HP dv6 and N53SN? In this order: 1. Asus - Good build quality, nice features, Nvidia gpu, good speakers, good reliability, best warranty deal____I hate the keyboard, no SSD option 2. lenovo - Good build quality also, decent features, best keyboard of the bunch, SSD option (though not entirely sure if its available in the MY model)____known reliability issues, average aftersale service, weaker gpu 3. HP - DDR5 Gpu, decent.. sleek design_____Bad components and reliability issues, bad aftersale services, overheating problems 4. Acer - Economical choice_____weak build quality = reliability issues, not the greatest warranty deal |

QUOTE(eugenechiuu @ Jan 18 2011, 09:34 PM) you can always buy a SSD urself and upgrade? No? It's definitely gonna be cheaper than the upgrades given by the laptop itself... I dont think you'd be able to put in a SSD in a laptop unless the manufacturer has made a dedicated slot for an SSD drive. These laptops would advertise by saying its 'upgradable to an SSD', for example on the XPS 15. Non of these mid range new SB carrying laptops are really too customizable. However the Lenovo does have an addon option where where you can get a 'hybrid drive'....where it has a decently sized (32gb) SSD partition that you can install your OS onto.Keyboard is quite subjective IMO, what do u mean after sales service? U know Acer and Asus share the same Highpoint service centre in Malaysia right? Asus's international warranty deal is best, but obtaining the serivce is a hassle and somewhat feel unreliable... I am studying in London and have claimed warranty twice in a row for my previous Asus laptop... The first time I sent it in they didn't fully repaired the problem, I had to send it in a 2nd time in a row... A thing about it is that you can't send it to the cenre urself, instead they give you a courier sticker and you have to arrange a pick up for it, hence you can only write ur laptop problem on a paper to put in the box.. Then after that you can only wait for them to repair and send the laptop back to you, god knows how long would it take... My point is, Asus International warranty is tempting, and they do have a lot of service centres across the whole world, BUT how reliable are those service centres? I do have doubts myself.. This is not only coming from myself, I have heard users from other foreign countries having such experiences as well.. but HECK, it's still the cheapest choice laptop with international warranty, that's why tons of ppl getting it... Thats scary isnt it to send our laptop off in a flimsy courier bag....but yeh, thats how shit goes these days. A very good point you are making about the warranty though. The whole phenomenon of the 'warranty' is quite dodgy at best. It's more often than not a false promise, a marketing gimmick. But the Asus does offer that International warranty, where as the rest only give you a local/regional coverage. So I'd take the one that has a worldwide warranty, even though the chances of getting decent service is minimal. Less is better than zero eh... |

QUOTE(GooD_DaY @ Jan 18 2011, 10:19 PM) Well, one can put in SSD to replace the HDD in the laptop. Then, the HDD can be put in an enclosure and act as an external storage. If it is advertised saying 'upgradable to an SSD', it can be done by the laptop manufacturer, but u can always do it on your own, just that it has no warranty for the SSD. International warranty, imho is only useful if one is going overseas with the laptop. We could DIY....but I dont want to carry around an external drive with me, I'd rather have an SSD and a HDD both INSIDE my laptop...(the XPS and Lenovo does provide this option)This post has been edited by Dell2011: Jan 18 2011, 11:47 PM |
