QUOTE(mansooriqbal @ Feb 15 2013, 11:44 PM) dont get Nvidia 675M, get AMD 7970.. it's cheaper and better card! if not cheaper same price card and definitely better than 675M. Unless you can afford 680M which is slightly better than 7970M AMD the 7970 is rm150 more expensive than 675m... man that 680m is a real burner - burn a hole in my pocket  |

i choose the m17x r4 third configuration the one with the 3d display
but i opt out the 3d for a normal one cant remember everything highest processor i7-3840QM Processor 680m gpu 8gb ram (upgrade next time) raid 0 1Tb X 2 HDD no bluray (can upgrade next time) i believe this machine can last me for quite some time,so next time when needed can upgrade the ROM and RAM got a nice 10% discount - about 1k liao and a free orion backpack This post has been edited by nate_nightroad: Mar 7 2013, 04:44 PM |

QUOTE(putochip123 @ Mar 11 2013, 03:54 PM) well, maybe u think is useless to have 120hz, but once u use it u will never come out from there. i would suggest to get those high resolution monitor as it doesnt really fit by those games. i checked bro,malaysia alienware no 120hz for m17x...only 3d display |
