Hello, i'm a college student seeking for a laptop that best suits me. As for me, i prefered a laptop that i can use it for gaming purposes. But i'm not a hardcore gamer. What i want actually is a pretty laptop that i can use it to play online games smoothly with no lagging. So graphic is not the main point here. But i still want a good graphic card. Could you guys suggest me which one should i pick between this brand as i am really confuse right now. rclxub.gif

1.Brand
• Dell XPS M1530
• Sony Vaio FZ35G

2.Budget
• RM5500 - since my dad promised to give me RM4500 if i do well in my studies, and yes i did! rclxm9.gif and another RM1000 is my own money that i saved from my pocket money since last April. icon_idea.gif

3.Specs
• Big RAM, good graphic card, best performance and nice design.
• Errm question, well yes i'm finding a laptop that fits for a gaming purposes, but i will be spending my time most on the online games such as MapleSea and Ragnarok Online, so sometimes there will be lagging in the game, was that because of the RAM so small or just the connection? Is there a way to avoid it because i really hate it when it's lagging .

4.Size
• Doesn't really matter.

Thank you very much. notworthy.gif

No need to compare if you buy the laptop mainly for gaming purpose. FZ only has 8400GT and M1530 is equipped with a 8600GT.

But, if you are talking about online games such as MapleSea and Ragnarok Online, 8400GT is more than enough to make the game smooth. When do you experience lags in game? If during guild wars that might be common because of streamyx.

Ya, most of the time during guild wars and sometimes happened during PVP. ohmy.gif

if you're looking for a 17 inch crazy laptop with quadro NVS320 ( more powerful than 8700GT), then you can pm me, i can give u a price within your budget.

Sorry change my mind. Currently only focus on Vaio and Dell. Thanks anyway. notworthy.gif

wowo.. i think the M1530 is good enough.. go play with the specs.. sure can get a powerful one.. the sony range.. designs are nice but the specs ok only but for a very expensive price.  shocking.gif

I already played with the spec and the highest i can go is RM5297 with
• Intel Core2 Duo Processor T7250 (+RM195)
• 15.4" UltraSharp LCD (+RM325)
• 4GB RAM (+RM390)
• 200GB SATA 7200RPM Performance Hard Drive (+RM33)
• 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT (+RM147)
• Dell Care +1 Year Warranty (+RM127)
• Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse (+RM81)

Looks like it outscores Sony VAIO FZ35G in almost everything. But i heard Dell XPS M1530 got no modem. Wah is it true?? Then thats a problem. Should i add a Wireless Router in my order also or what? hmm.gif
