basically, it is the same, as M=GO, they are mobile discrete gc! even 8600GT you should avoid as well...get ati 3450 instead, ati cards are better than nvidia in laptop!

i xcidently drop a mineral water bottle full of water on my laptop last night while watching dvds. n' the water gushing onto my keyboard and speaker in no time..but luckily i manage to turn my laptop upside down quick and wait the water to dry itself. l've checked all the hardware n' all are properly function. Lucky me.. but just in case, does the complete cover warranty cover water spill?

Water doesn't spoil your electronic items.. short circuiting will. If no power source and you let it dry chances are very highly your laptop won't have any damage. As to your question. Complete cover does include accidental spills and drops.

Hi.
I'm not sure about the dual layer stuff but mine included with the fingerprint technology.
I think that you will get the cash redemption if you're buying it online plus the waiting time for it.

The only problem I have is slow download speed from Dell's support website. Anyway, just noticed there's a new driver for 8400M GS >> http://supportapj.dell.com/support/downloa...6&fileid=277619

At such critical time... exam time...  I straight away went WTF when my screen turned green and hung. New startup screen =( 6 months after changing mobo.  Luckily it manage to boot and I got to turn off the graphics. Still... I think it;s gonna die anytime.
