go for xps 15 without doubt..go for full hd ..upgrade ram to 8gb ..upgrade to full hd..upgrade warranty to 3 years ..and backlit keyboard..also upgrade to 256gb ssd..that should work out best for you


Added on September 2, 2011, 2:00 ami just tried a asus n55..it looks really heavy..3kg for a 15 inches is very very heavy..in 1 year it will feel like a heavy rock...it will feel boring to carry a rock or a stone with you...dont buy any 15 inches more than 2.5 kg..
