Yeah, its only a 11.6 incher aimed more for portable gaming  laugh.gif
RM3.5k is a good budget... You can consider HP Dv6, best at the moment. Or you can import Sager models too  nod.gif
Lenovo will probably be hotter due to the smaller chassis. Asus N53 should be fine  laugh.gif

Yeah new one  laugh.gif
Yup, M11x R1 and R2 suffers from hinge defects, but then Dell has already launched a program to help replace the hinges (with newer design I think) when it spoils, so its still okay nod.gif
The R1 and R2, especially the R1, would be good for those who want the laptop just for them bling blings  wub.gif 

eh? I thought only 1 user complaining about the hinge cracking? hehe~
When the leaked photos of the M14x came out some time ago, that particular laptop's hinge also cracked liao haha laugh.gif
Mine still okay, I'm taking extra care when opening/closing the lid, just to be safe  laugh.gif
*
ya, i see that one too. laugh.gif

well, 1,2 more user also complaining, but i doubt it's rare cases only

after things with m11x, i don't think dell's going to screw up again

Yes, there is a manual button to swith the GPU on/off & also the software will auto swith the graphic.
but i don't know how to test for the memory, after i switch on the graphic it is anywhere to check the memory use?

how about asus and lenovo? y470/y570 and n43/53?  icon_idea.gif


Added on June 10, 2011, 7:48 pmhow about asus and lenovo? y470/y570 and n43/53?  icon_idea.gif

y570 is not available in malaysia

spec wise,

y470 got gt550m meanwhile n43/53 got gt540m

all three is relatively weaker compared to hd6770 in hp dv6

roughly,
hd6770 > gt550m > gt50m

since gaming relies more on gpu, hd6770 will be the best at the moment

Which one better ? any extra benefits from integrated battery ? which one better between 14" and 15" ?

depend on your personal preferences either want 14" or 15" ?

imo, nothing special, it's just that the battery is integrated so it's not easily detachable

is that true?
