i have try to call for the shop,
Asus N43SL, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2599[2.4kg][Bang & Olufsen] (don't have USB 3.0 port) =.="
Asus U41Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M@RM2899[2.14kg] (don't have USB 3.0 port) =.="
For asus only i7 / 15'6 model having 3.0 usb port
Acer TimelineX 4830TG, i5-2410M + GT540M@RM2499[2.2kg] (Yes, having stock)
Y470, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT550M@RM2999[JBL] (No Stock, Coming Soon)
So, i just can consider Acer & Y470. But if i wait for Y470, don't know when will be arrival. haiz.....

My old one is getting a bit too slow for my research data Any recommendations?   i am using My Passport WD de... transfer file very fast... even i connect to 2.0 USB port. i have try to copies 10 GB data using notebook 3.0 port & Desktop 2.0. 3.0 = 2-3 minutes only. 2.0 = 6-10 minutes.

I guess you're the 1st one here hehe~ Mind sharing a review What do you mean "how to switch it on"? Nvidia Optimus will do that for you... and isn't there a manual switch as well?  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?
