Alieanware no numpad. The outlook is too alien, not presentable in business meeting. They are not using the highest possible cpu/gpu too...

@iiee

Mind to let us know which Dell laptop model you are using?
As far as I know, Dell Alienware M15X is the easiest one to get off the bottom panel by removing 2 screws. In your case, 1 screw..., I'm pretty curious to know. Mind to share?

err, it is M4400 Precision, business laptop, not for gaming (although i chose the best graphic card still lousy)

I need a laptop that is presentable in business meeting yet powerful in gaming. Clevo plain design really suitable for me. Only down side is no docking station, expresscard and WWAN.

USB dock station i think has own graphic chip and unable to use the laptop graphic card power. expresscard can be overcome by usb 3.0 device although not very good. WWAN... is a problem it is not nice to plug in a big USB 3G modem in business meeting it is too obvious this fellow is browsing internet; could still be overcome by handphone internet sharing via bluetooth.

Want a business notebook that can game?
Dell Precision with NVIDIA QUADRO FX 3800M.

That is 17", too big. I can go for 15.6" maximum only.

Hmmm...removing the back cover while gaming...don't get into the habit of that if you have a Clevo, because by itself, it runs pretty cool anyway and you're subjected to attract objects into the fan intakes as well as a pretty serious case of burns if you touch the two heatsinks.

And forgot to answer your FF online character question. I couldn't make a character because Squareenix screwed my payment system up, so I just gave up.

oic, the SE payment system really sux.

Hmm, Dell M4600 coming out, fulfill all my requirements except for poor graphic card zzz (slower than 460m). Price would be the same as highest spec NP8150. grrr hard to choose.

Thinking of getting this sager NP 780 all in include delivery is 14k is it worth it.

Wow, your specs are totally awesome, for me it is more than enough already, or maybe you want to upgrade to high performance RAM later on for benchmarking purpose.

Hardisk veli easy install into the laptop. To install the operating system will take some times; then install driver will take some more times, update windows, then install programs will take some more more times, and ....

Hi all.

Im new here. the reason why i registered to lowyat forum is that so i can ask some help from u guys.

I just want to know whether this laptop is suitable for a uni student? or is there any other alternatives? preferably 14-inch

14k! imba.... is sager the most expensive laptop?

Installing hard disk is not hard, maybe it will take just a bit more time if you are not familiar with it,
and regarding windows installation, well since Windows Vista installing new OS has been an easy task, I think you will be okay.

Haha, the Np8150 can already play Crysis 2 @ Ultra settings. If overclocked, it plays even better. I haven't posted the results of that yet though...haven't got the time.

Aside from being a student, what are your other uses? Do you game a lot (this is a gaming machine)? Do you intend to carry it around everyday? How often will you carry it? Any budget limit?

It is expensive because:
1) It uses desktop processors
2) 2 GPU solution e.g. 485m SLi
3) 3 Hard drive bays

It is more or less, the most powerful/expensive laptop right now. I don't think any other laptop manufacturer can overcome the hurdle of placing a desktop processor in a laptop motherboard (maybe in the future...but it's pretty bleak at the moment).

wow...i din know it was a desktop processor lai de...imba man...size of laptop is?

17" inch. Yeah very imba haha.
