anyone can help me decide between these two models? in serious dilemma here. I'm an architecture student so i'll be using a lot of photoshop/illustrator, CAD programmes, 3Ds max, Rhino etc. And i'm an avid gamer as well. Please help me!

I know GE60's gpu will beat G53sx's one. But by how much? GE60 only has two slots for ram upgrades while G53sx has 4 (one is internal). I'll be upgrading my ram to the max too, so hopefully 12gb if possible. And the GE60 looks kinda ugly imo. Which one is better? for performance and for my wallet

thanks, I am indeed waiting for the G55, but worry it'll take a long time to reach Malaysia. So at the meantime i'm trying to find any stores/ppl that is still selling the G53sx. But thanks anyway for your reply

The one i saw floating around the net, was i7 3610, 4-8GB, Nvdia GT 650. I could be wrong but most probably N56 will be a HD resolution instead of FHD.

also, its H.Metro

Hi guys, need help here.

Any 14" or 15" laptops with FHD display and about rm3.5k (max budget) in price?

and is the asus N56 really FHD or HD? Asus malaysia FB claimed that it is a typo in their brochure and the N56 will come with FHD.

and any idea when the lenovo y580 will be out? and whether the y480 will be equipped with a FHD display soon?

It's pretty hard to find one honestly. Most of them are still HD.

and i forgot to mention, i need at least an i7 cpu.

is the Dell inspiron 15R SE already released? any links to the specs?

Thanks a lot. Backlit keyboard optional? Means i can choose if i want to include a backlit keyboard or not? Damn it Dell.. what a scam

that sounds better. Thanks, its for my gf. Will let her know

Any other options are welcome as well. Please and thank you

Damn it Dell -.-

thanks for clarifying that up for me.

Because i'm sure i'd want a backlit keyboard. They come in handy, and also in terms of aesthetic.

oh only rm42? Sorry didnt notice that.

and i mistakenly read your post as rm4200
