As for the Dell,
Win7: http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/con...s=dhs&cs=mydhs1
Win8: http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/con...s=dhs&cs=mydhs1

For my experience with Dell, they send their technician next business day and fix it. Unless they have parts shortage...

I see.. then Lenovo is another choice then. yeah sending for warranty sux. it costs time and money and effort, not knowing if the problem will ever be solve (case in point, the Asus thread) haha. Ok time to look at Lenovo models. any suggestion? tx

Maybe Lenovo Z480.
or Y480 if budget can extend..

QUOTE(UnknownH @ Nov 16 2012, 05:17 PM)
means one is built the other is additional one. but if wanna buy the laptop only without additional gpu will cost different?  unsure.gif

It would be cheaper, but depends Lenovo MY got offer that setup or not..
The Y500 offered for now, include the extra GPU.

This is interesting now since its FHD:

Lenovo Y580 – 15.6” FHD / i7-3630QM / 4GBRAM / 500G / GTX660M 2G / W8 : RM2880/-

worth it? why u no come in i5 argh~  rclxub.gif

Worth it, cheapest notebook with GTX660M laugh.gif

Are you looking just for FHD notebook or need dedicated GPU as well?
There is Acer Iconia W700 with FHD@RM2199, but intel HD4000 only..

16GB should be just around RM250,
Win 8 for RM50, is quite right, $14.99 through the Windows upgrade promo..

Grr.. Now decide to buy y580 and now no stock.  mad.gif

SSD is better than RAM? Please explain. I upgrade my RAM bcos my previous laptop broken bcos lack of RAM.

It happen when I played War Z while playing iTunes song. So I suspect I fried my motherboard. But between SSD vs RAM, which is better? Tired of keep setting game at the lowest setting.

Both of those don't really improve games FPS performance.
SSD only helps with faster loading in games,
RAM, is for if you want to open other Apps in the background while keeping the game running...

QUOTE(En_A @ Nov 18 2012, 08:07 PM)
True. 4gb is actually the sweet spot, dont let ppl tell u otherwise. Try some ram.usage software and see for urself how much u actually use

8GB is the sweet spot for me now laugh.gif

nope. that is the problem. It does not have pop up thing. Is that possible there is hidden partition? cause i add up my hdd space, is 444gb. lost about 50 gb there. possible recovery data all inside those lost spaces?
*
Try search AI Recovery.
500GB would only left 465GB usable, so ~20GB for recovery partition sounds about right,

Type 'Backup' on start menu,
should have something like 'Backup and Restore',
then choose to create Create System Image and follow its instructions.
You can save it to HDD and burn a System Repair Disc to boot incase Windows corrupt, then restore the image saved in the HDD.
