you already decided don't you? 

the model you eyeing

yes, settings maxed with FHD resolution and highest AA but most people say i dont need that high AA for FHD laptop. is that true?

Screen size is 15.6"?

Eh same here. I'm considering between a r3 and the np9150

sager - plain design, has baklit keyboard (selected models) future component upgrades, performance > price

alienware - beautiful design, has backlit keyboard, future component upgrades, good warranty, price > performance

*my personal opinion ^^

if you do get any of those two, what gpu will you be getting?

i switched AA to the lowest (2x) and the display looks much more better. I tried latest beta driver and the FPS reading not accurate. Need to reinstall the driver again 

not much difference.maybe 2-3 fps but highest AA make the screen to blur and bright

i don't have the game lol..i will think about it

weird,i updated the driver to latest beta and the fps keep hovering around 60fps in max payne

no offence offense but if you think alienware is "beautiful", you're not yet an adult

the design just screams "I'M AN ATTENTION WHORE AND I NEED SHINY LIGHTS TO SHOW OFF MY PURCHASE"

im not sure whether im an unlucky one but there is a black spot suddenly appear at top right screen.



seems like i need to send back the laptop to them.

CALL THEM! EMAIL THEM! SPAM THEM! SEND THEM THIS PICTURE!!!!

this is what i did when i got freaking blue screenssss. and then they do everything for me.

btw, i think they got 90 days screen/pixel guaranty. therefore, ACT FAST!!!!

but i prefer 95% gamut even though the difference is minimal

in every each colors (red, blue, green, black, cyan, etc etc) there are 255 density (0 density of black is white, 100~200 is grey, 255 is black)

95% means, ur screen can display 95% of all the color densities. it is very high. if no mistaken, normal TV jus manage to generate 65% gamut color.

alright i played 5 minute of Battlefield 3(train scene) with everything maxed and im getting average 48-50fps with temp up to 90c 
that's with latest beta driver which has been reported increase FPS

many people in notebookreview reported the GPU is not fully loaded but MSI afterburner showed 99% of GPU usage.

Added on June 26, 2012, 7:27 amalso tried NFS:The Run and FPS is just below 30fps with gpu load under 50%.

Your GPU is kinda hitting high temperature. I wonder if in future we can have external display card, making use of desktop graphics card. I know Vidock had been active in dealing with this external graphics card stuff, seems like they are inactive now.

ehh, i just noticed that there are 2 "\" keys on the keyboard. no idea why
