As long as it under warranty,highpoint services are ok bro. But i think dell support are better.

Hi Storm,
Very good review. Most reviews did not mention that the Hard drive isn't screwed into the casing.
One question, are the heat sink pipes aluminium or copper? Would it be a good idea to repaste the CPU & GPU with a better paste like diamond or artic when it's new or wait til a year later?
Heard that this laptop only has 1 year warranty. but can be extended, correct?

how was the performance ?

more performance details at http://www.goldfries.com/hardware-reviews/...ebook-review/2/

You may view the Battlefield 4 video. biggrin.gif

overall the thing runs hot, really hot.

on the plus side, the keyboard material keeps most of the heat away from your fingers.

Heat Issues? I tested on Diablo III which is quite processor and graphic intensive and the CPU peaked at 97c while GPU peaked at 85c.

For this price range, the V Nitro is my favorite.

I just read your whole review. Thanks a lot for posting.

But I have a question though...You mentioned about the GTX860M being equivalent to GTX750 desktop gpu. Do you know if an old GTX560Ti has the same performance to those 2? or weaker?

560 Ti would be behind those 2 in terms of performance.

I too am having the same problem. Need to select between an Acer VN15 Nitro with 2 year extended warranty for RM3499 with not credit card surcharge, or a Gigabyte P27g V2 with the promo (additional diamond past, calibration, 128GB MSATA SSD) for RM3999 not including credit card surcharge (probably an additional 2%).

What I like about the Gigabyte P27G V2
1. Its supplied by illegear which has a good reputation for aftersales service. PrinceJ always replies very fast & very
friendly.
2. Has a MSATA SSD.
3. Diamond paste.
Not like, have to buy unseen as I am in Penang & illegear is in KL.

What I like about the Acer VN15.
1. No credit card surcharge.
2. Can get it in the shop in Penang.
3. No bling, bling.
Not like, the sales guy admitted that Acers have a short lifespan. About 3 years or so. & a lot of complaints about the service center tidak apa attitude.

Any advice guys in choosing which one?
Thanks,

But I heard Nivdia 950-970 series is coming out very soon, possible Jan 2015 and i heard is a much more better graphic card than Nvidia 860 GTX. So if you are not hurry to get it, i think is better to wait i guess.

I got budget constraint. Was targeting RM3500~RM4000. Don't know if the new laptops are going to be in this price range or not. Plus my old lappie needs to be replaced. smile.gif.
Just worry about the reliability for Acer VN15 vs Gigabyte P27gV2.

Thanks,
