LOL nothing bad....but, pickin out a laptop has been kinda stressful xD
with the new processor...weighing features out, build quality..price...warranty packages...etc
very very complicated....ie if ure a person on a budget like me. But If uve got banks accounts in Switzerland,
its gonna be very hassle free....just go out and buy a mac book pro! or alienware, something along those lines

...very true   ahh,I am just being silly, pick wut ever is available and get on with life eh
it gets a lil complicated for me, as I have to pick a lappy on the 28th the latest (as I am leaving for uni), and I want an SB computer, problems come in as by the 28th I prolly wudnt have too much to pick from...and Asus putting their new catalogue up for January and still not releasing the N53SN is gettin on my nerves..haha.such a tease this Asus
oh and skycrawler, Swiss becos thats where the filthy rich usually store their money at...you know like your Tony Sopranos' and stuff...overseas bank accounts so the govt. cant freeze your assets

the model suggested can't turn to tablet right? its just a laptop?

no the touchscreen is better. its more accurate.
and ipad doesn't support the software i'm using in the office. no apps for database entry in healthcare service industry.

Resistive touchscreen - more accurate but less responsive
Capacitive touchscreen - less accurate comparatively but very responsive

Both are diff kinds, can't compare.. Nuff said..

the tablet one isn't resistive. Its capacitive too. but with wacom penable (pen-enabled... just their stupid way of saying it.)
responsive and accurate. dam awesome.
the window's handwriting recognition technology is very accurate too.

The fujitsu TH700, the old HP Tx2000. iirc all fujitsu tablets are wacom penable.
currently we're using 1 Fujitsu TH700 and one Tx2000. Trying to get another TH700 asap

performance? not really relevant, the laptops aren't exactly stressed... but its decent with the i3-380 processor. things aren't slow. the heat is noticeable because the vent is on the left, blowing out the air, but the laptop itself doesn't really heat up.

warranty? i duno. I dun want to try. better the tablet have no problem at all.

is there any?... hoped its OK to filled up in this thread.
yups! lots of window and design things related needed. can't used iPad or SGT.
trading platform another thing also.

as far as i know, most trading platform works only with windows other OS not many supported, right?

you also looking for tablet-pc?

not yet

can get budget laptop less than 3k with i7 processor?

Well. XPS 15 were scheduled with SandyBridge at around March, while the current XPS 15 were released last year compared to Acer 5750G that recently released...

What other uncertainties except the chipset problem ?

I suppose SSD is where we'll be heading in the future, but seriously, the pricing is really cutthroat.
