From ebay.

Optical drive usually take out one screw then can take it out.
Just put the optical drive back when need to send warranty.

Yup. The GT555M in Lenovo Y570 is just basically a GT550M with DDR5. Its 96SP-128-bit.
While the GT555M in Asus N45SF/N55SF/MSI GE620DX is 144SP-128-bit.
GT555M in Alienware M14x is the better one, 144SP-192-bit.

The M11x ? The M14x ?

RAM, usually 4-8GB depends your usage..
SSD, better get it aftermarket.

QUOTE(arctictyke @ Jan 6 2012, 11:52 AM)
Hi all,

1. Preferred Brand
Dell, Acer, Asus, HP, Toshiba, MSI, but I'm open for other suggestions?

2. Budget
2.5k to 3k, can go for a little higher if needed

3. Usage
- Mostly for graphic designs; occasional web dev, movie editing, and 3d rendering.
- Casual gaming, the likes of StarCraft 2, and some MMOGs.

4. Preferred laptop/screen size
- 14"

I'm probably looking for a notch below the category of a 'gaming laptop', but meh, I'm not so sure what fits the bill. Hehe.

I'm considering Asus N45SF or Dell XPS 14z.  Any comments on these two laptops? Would you recommend another laptop for me?

Thanks!

Take the N45SF.
XPS 14z's GPU is weak for gaming.
If you prefer to have faster processor, can consider the Lenovo Y470 with Core i7 Quad.

is there any different between harddisk 750GB-7200rpm HDD (ASUS N55SF-S2353V 15.6" N55 SERIES NOTEBOOK) and 750GB-5400rpm HDD (Asus N55SF-S2356V 15.6" N55 Series Notebook)? which is more powerful for gaming laptop?

Games performance should be similar, just that the one with 7200rpm HDD, might load the game a bit faster.
