what u guys recommend?thanks

Dell M102z with E-450?

+1, this one is better in terms of overall performance

ok.i'll survey again.hehe

Between the HP dv6-6114tx and Asus N55SF (core i5), which to pick?

The HP has core i7, HD6770m (>GT555M B2?), and better design than the Asus (IMO).

But the Asus N55SF has a lower price tag and HD+ screen in its favour.

Is the difference between the two graphics cards big? I don't mind the processor difference between the two though.

Thanks!

Which one is better depends very much on whether you're using the laptop for gaming, or working
If you're into gaming, the Dv6 will be better because of (i) a better GPU; (ii) lower resolution; if you're using it for work, its vice versa. Higher screen resolutions will offer much more working space for you

iirc 6770m better than 555m...

GT555m (m14x/ XPS 17) is more or less on par with AMD 6770 in terms of gaming, because the AMD 6770 isn't optimized for certain games, hence the results are poorer..
But overall performance I would say the 6770 is still slightly better than the GT555m [B1]

I have decided to buy m17x as I gonna stretch my budget a bit more...

Here a few questions:
Can m17x be upgraded? Graphic and processor
If upgradable is it mean the warranty void?
Who I can buy Allienware with other than Dell website?

Which M17x ?
GPU and CPU can upgrade,
depends whom you got it from.
putochip123, kelvin_hata ?

May I know their contacts? Or I just pm them?
They are the resellers?

Might want to consider buying an M17x R2 and then upgrade it with the latest GPU like what hidz7 did since the R2 is basically better in terms of build etc.
If you one to customize your M17x (e.g. with customized name plates and specifications) at discounted prices, can try to PM viper88

why say so??? older gen build frm alum?? @@ sori quite noob.. @@

Can take a look here:http://www.hotcaketheory.com/2011/06/alienware-duel-m17x-r2-vs-m17x-r3.html
Or for more details, do refer to the Alienware mothership thread

emm. can i assume that i7 laptop can let me utilise it for about 1 or 2 years mroe than i5 laptop before it becomes slow and laggy to support new games,new softwares?

The GPU would become problem for new games first before the Core i5 bottleneck...

Softwares yes, games no

lol.so u guys think which should i go for.y570 or n55sf.
btw the price is almost the same becuase for y570 i got discount.
just abit troublesome because buying it in hk.
