May I know why this is cheaper than the 15R SE in dell website?
http://www.techhypermart.com/notebooks/del...6-notebook.htmlRM2609 with everything same except 4GB RAM, this one even better with 1600x900 screen and GT640M GPU.
Since I can always add another 4GB RAM myself, is it better to get this than the RM2999 from dell?
actually this is the roughly priced... i did chat with dell sales n got a quote. 3yr in-home warranty + backlight keyboard is 31xx only... compare to online which is 3340.. warranty is very important for a notebook especially if u are using with dedicated GC, if u buy outside normally they only comes with 1 year warranty. If you are to extended you require to go bac to dell for extension. the price is usually more expensive than u get direct from dell + warranty. So actually after much calculation it is still the same after all. by the way, i opt for 14" cos 15.6" is too heavy for me.

The momentus XT is already a very noticeable upgrade

I'm using the 500Gb at the moment. Feels good.
I did consider momentus XT previously too, but in the end get SSD, 1st momentus XT is stil hdd base, so everything is still "fragile". 2nd i read somewer regarding the reliability of the "cache" which said if the cache spoil, then ur hdd is gone. and 500GB is the 1st gen which is 8GB of cache if i'm not mistaken. in malaysia market stil cant get gen-2 which comes with 16gb cache. tat would almost on par with SSD in some performance.

you will have to use the 'dell chat' or call them and ask if there's any student discount for specified model.
there's not much diff if the model is "hot" model, unless u get those that there are doing promo for student
