Guys, studio offer WLED instead of CCFL screen.
Some other reason is, XPS using NV 8600M GT which NV having problem on their graphic card, that's wat worrying me.
Or do u guys suggest that I will for dell to come out the Montevina P serie?

in that case, it sounds like u ve decided on which to get??

but 17" with only 3650 a bit weir leh...

Recently I did a lotof survey online and read a lot of review.
I found that Samsung R710 is having the best spec so far with reasonable price (RM 6000)
T9400 2.53Ghz
320Gb HDD
4Gb DDR2
NV 9600M GT 512Mb
17" WXGA (1440x900)
Best thing is only 3.08Kg !!!

I was told that samsung quality is poor? can someone tell me how poor samsung is if compare to other brand ?
Do samsung provide GOOD service after sale?

Well i did some 'homework' and seems like even here, it's kinna hard to find ready stock for asus m50vm with 9600m gs as graphic haiz needless to say ati 3650 lol.

m50vm with 9600 is available at notebook studio.. 6k over my budget haiz

Hiya,

I'm so lost, and desperately need help. Anyone can recommend a laptop that can play assassins creed at medium to high quality?

any lappy with 9500/ati 3650 or higher should be no prob

and if HD3650 capable then 8600M GT too...

Added on August 22, 2008, 8:07 pmdepending on what resolution u are playing(which is the most important factor in affecting fps)..... pls state ur budget too, we can recommend u a 10k laptop too if u didn't mention it...
1. determine ur budget limit
2. determine what screen size u want
3. determine what resolution u want.
4. then only determine what hardware is compatible with the above selection

Between Asus G70 and Dell XPS M1730, which consider a better choice? In terms of performance, warranty and services. I'm trying to weight these two beasts.
The benchmarks here show good thing about XPS with dual 8800M GTX. However I'm not going for the dual 8800M, haha.
At least the two meets the condition between of mobility (not that much for 17 inchers but still movable) and high performance (I'm not expecting the best though).

People saying Dell has good warranty and customer service, how about Asus?

And yeah, any good and trustworthy places around KL to get any of them?

Thanks.

SLI got improve like 50-60% if the game support it well, for example like crysis, COD4, GRID .

But for old game like war3 doesnt support SLI well and devil may cry 4 and assassin creed have no much improvement in SLI mode , i hardly see the diferrent when i active and deactive SLI mode, fear has a good support with SLI,


In conclusion, Dual 8800m GTX better
better than a single 8800mgtx by 50%, because i have try deactive and active the SLI mode in nvidia control panel

Nowadays nvidia release better driver support SLI, last time the drivers were suck
They dont support SLI well

Not point playing Dota, haha, nvm that. Now there's good thing about the SLI part.
Wish could wait for those with Centrino 2...

I'm comparing the spec for these two, they somehow look the same, but, Dell has the option for Ageia PhysX card.
Thier default graphic card:
XPS M1730: Dual 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8700M GT graphics with NVIDIA SLI Technology
Asus G70: NVIDIA® GeForce® 8700M GT, External 1GB DDR3 VRAM (512MB X 2)
Dual VGA (NVIDIA SLI Technology)

actually warcraft no need SLI support lol , a singel 8800m GTX will be sufficient between i really like war3 mini map games not only dota, i thought u want to buy XPS m1730 with duall 8800mgtx

but asus G70 seem expensive 9k?, dell xps with 8700m 8k

u dont like play war3 mini game? i mean if u choose gaming laptop u wont play war3, i still play lol

I do play warcraft but not much as any other games.
And the new thread on unofficial new Dell laptops makes me having a second though. lol The irony... Get what you get be happy...

So after getting either one of them, I'll just make the best use of them. >:)

Hey guys, was wondering if they started selling the ASUS G50-A1 in malaysia. And now with the XPS studio 16 coming out, im not sure on what to pick. Should i be impatient and purchase the G50A1 first or wait for the studio 16 with its hybrid graphic card?
