What you plan to use this laptop for ? Work ? Pure gaming ? I need to know that

In Malaysia, the after sales service for Asus is terrible. I think thats something you need to look into too.

A split of work and gaming. Will be starting uni next month. Now i'm more or less getting the xps 15. Comparing with alienware, the only difference is that alienware GPU is better than xps otherwise the rest of the components are better on xps. xps comes with 2gb GT 540M. Is it still a powerful GPU card?

I'm not expecting to play every game on max as i tend to prefer performance to games than graphics.

Also I want to say thx to everyone for helping me out here. Really helpful in my decision.

and the derailment has end...

steam why no better sales..

There is a gaming benchmark for GT540M here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...0M.41715.0.html

Good luck with your uni. I have only one semester left, dunno what job I'll get.

I dont recommend gaming laptop for uni stuff. Unless you plan to keep it in your place. The reason why its weight and battery life.

It depends on your taste. I am using a MacBook Pro 15" (yes it costs a bomb and I could have bought a better spec laptop). There are reasons why I went this instead - mainly i want a solid computer for my work. Gaming is a bonus (and the only games which I've played are WoW , TF2 and Portal 2 and as well as some old games).Let me say what I've said to people on recommendation on a product.

Go out and test the product for yourself. Take a look at the design and the specification. See how the laptop feels for you. If it's good , go ahead with the purchase and stuff. You need to consider other factors as well

1. Are you going to bring in to university every day ? (Trust me , carrying this 2.5kg MacBook Pro in a backpack can hurt)
2. Do you plan to work extended hours (like in lecture halls and stuff) without carrying a charger ?


Benchmarks are numbers , some of us prefer to play games at a decent settings and others who strive for the best possible graphics. Also please consider additional $$ for investment such as a laptop cooler , a decent sleeve and few others as well.
