Hi lee_what2004,

what do you mean "won't keep up in FHD"?

Well, of course I will use it for some gaming, but I am not some hardcore game fan, so gaming is not my first priority, the FHD is more for my multimedia editing.

For the DELL XPS 15 MLK:

So means if I am playing games, I should lower the resolution for smooth game play?

And with other multimedia stuff, it should not have any problem with the GPU?

One question ...

Alienware M15x Laptop is using [ NVIDIA GeForce GTX460M (1.5GB) ]
XPS 15 MLK is using [ NVIDIA GeForce GT540M (2GB) ]

Whats the main difference of the 2 graphic card huh?

You mean GTX460M is better?

Thanx for the info.

Anyone heard of the new Alienware M14x?


And ...
1. Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
2. Windows 7 Professional 64bit
3. Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Does it make a lot of difference between these 3 version?

Whats the main difference of Sager NP8150 and Sager NP8150-S1 huh?

Well, I am not a hardcore gamer as at now, but I was thinking what if I got the XPS15 now and I got a game later that I like to play but it does not run smoothly on the GT540 ...

Still a bit of undecided now .. I did consider the Alienware coming M14x, old m15x and the new m17X R3, m14x is not FHD, and my wife was complaining of the weight of m15x and m17xR3, so I guess I can rule out the Alienware notebooks.
