If you're not in a hurry, you might want to wait for the upcoming Samsung 7 series yo~

the one in alienware m14x is 192bit, 144sp, but in
n55sf is 128bit, 144sp iinm

still confuse to choosing between MSI GE620DX and ASUS N55SF? The graphic card is same rite?

^ yup, same graphic card.

Greetings to all the master here currently planning to buy a gaming laptop but don't know which 1 to get Here is my criteria following the 1st page rule

1 > Dell / Alienware
2 > Under 8k (but am gonna use monthly installment
3 > Gaming and Entertainment purposes like,hdmi in & out to TV etc etc
4 > 15' - 17'

At 1st i'd like to think about m17x but it's pretty exp so if possible i'd like to choose cheaper but as powerful as Alienware ? hope this doesn't offend any master here,i'm not pro in PC specs...at all Thanks for reading

If you only prefer Dell/Alienware, and 15-17", then you could only choose Alienware m17x no?
Though you could also import the weaker XPS 17...
I would recommend you to take a look at Sager units instead yo

Thanks for the reply much appreciate oh so the only choice is m17x ? lolz i didn't know that,i thought there are others out there

I will look into Sager units now and thanks again

OK thanks! Now i am having a clearer idea of what to buy.

u like 3D gaming or not ??

if u do ... i suggest u go for sager NP8170 with 3D screen + glasses and go with the gtx580m !!!

i configured that on illegear.com just for fun and the total was around 7.5k iinm !

my dream laptop is still the m17x wif 3D and 580m but that one , total is around 10k

A weaker one

A GT555M on a FullHD screen for gaming? Not a smart choice.

IMHO, laptop nowsaday mostly have overheating problem, due to the improvement of the performance of the CPU and the graphic card, yet, manufacturers overlooked the design of the cooling system.

I am a Laptop Tech for 10 years (but no expert), 10 years ago, some laptop has 2 fans or one huge fan. Now the size of the fan shrunk and some laptops even have the bad design which there is no vent at the bottom of the chasis for the fan to draw cool air in from the outside. 3 and a half year is lucky you

My point is a newer laptop is not built to last. It is really up to the users on the way of using their laptops.

If you are not a gamer, get whatever you like under your budget, max up the warranty offered, have a peace of mind and take good care of it.

sorry to ask here..but what are the recommended model for n55sf ?? which one is the one with HD lcd ?

The i5 variant comes with a HD+ screen, whereas the i7 variant only comes with a normal HD screen

bro n55sf comes with 15" screen right? specifically which model should be look at?N55sf battery can only last for 3 hours right? Also very interested in the samsung 7 series laptop. Any news on release date?

yep 15"
