GT555M better than GT610M.
GT635M is same with GT555M, just a rebrand.

I am really struggling for 610 and 635, the price is difference for like 600. I am wondering whether it worth the price. is 610 reli "tat bad" that only suitable for normal usage? comparing between N45SL, N55SL, A53SM, A43SM, with all being equal on i5, but different GPU ranged from 610, 630 and 635. Urggghhh!

Video editing is mostly bottleneck by the CPU, unless you have special need for the GPU hardware acceleration like nVidia CUDA..
But if you need it for games, its another story..

Can't comment much on GT70's heat management, since its very new..

As for dynaudio, Astria have better explanation laugh.gif
QUOTE(astria @ Jan 6 2012, 06:06 PM)
so, here's my own mini review of this mighty beast...

i WILL NOT be reviewing the performance of the hardware, u can find plenty of that in the Internet, so it's pointless for me to do one... i will be focusing on the features of the laptop instead...

also, i bought this laptop in Hong Kong, so some of the configuration may differ...

let's start off with the spec of the laptop:

MSI GT683DX
Intel Core i5-2450M (2.5GHz, 3MB L3 cache, 1C/2C Boost @ 3.1GHz/2.9GHz)
Intel HM67 chipset
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570M (336 unified stream processors, 192-bit GDDR5 1.5GB)
Nanya DDR3 1333MHz 4GB x2
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 130
Western Digital Scorpio Black 750GB
15.6" Full HD 1920x1080 monitor
USB 2.0 x2 + USB 3.0 x2

....

Audio -
this is the area that literally blew me away cool.gif... i am no audiophile, but still have my own set of requirements when looking for earphones or speakers... for a long time i have never been a fan of laptop speakers, for obvious reasons... most laptop speakers produce hollow audio with virtually zero bass or treble... Lenovo Y510 (2.1 speaker setup) and harmon/kardon on Toshiba have proven otherwise, but was not sufficient to convince me... Dynaudio is truly splendid, sound is solid, for the first time i can actually hear bass on laptops and sends the vibration throughout the whole palm rest... granted the sound is still not top notch, but it's way above the average laptop speakers in the market...

this laptop is 7.1 channel ready as well, if u ve such a speaker system at ur disposal...

*
Oh, but if you can wait, the Asus G75 should be near..

QUOTE(eviltoaster @ Apr 27 2012, 10:45 AM)
I got my mind set on the HP dv6-6c19tx. However, I'm open to suggestions.
From what I've (feverishly) gathered, laptop manufacturers are going to introduce a new generation of laptops (Ivy Bridge, latest GPUs, etc.) next month (May). Should I wait for a month so that my RM3099 can be spent on a better laptop (any brand. I'm not loyal to HP tongue.gif) [or, so that the dv6-6c19tx's price will drop]?

Thanks in advance for your advice and recommendations.

Acer and MSI already sell their Ivy Bridge and nVidia 6xxM notebook...
If can wait, then wait. Something better will always come.

QUOTE(gamakichi88 @ Apr 27 2012, 08:22 AM)

The Vostro 3450 has slight faster HDD (7200rpm vs 5400rpm) and backlit keyboard as well and you can further reduce the price by RM100 using coupon nod.gif
