erm, to be honest, dat laptop is sexy~
love everybit of it except for its graphics card...haha
seldom uses it as a 'laptop'...i just need the portability once a week...(i'm staying in a hostel)

at first i am also thinking to get xps13..but too bad many ppl complain abt the notebook very hot...so i give up...
i also like its design and backlit keypad..quite cool...

to be honest, XPS has been overlapped by Studio XPS and Alienware long ago...

XPS M1330 -> Studio XPS 13
XPS M1530 -> Studio XPS 16
XPS M1730 -> Alienware

and i believe in the last 2 or so years, XPS M1730 hurts the sales of Alienware...

heat issues aside, i think the sxps is the best possible model out there in that price range...(design+performance)

i heard Gateway is quite good too..

well, Asus has some great design too, like the N50 and N51 series...

but to be honest, i did consider SXPS16 before also...

SXPS mainly singing design + the speaker 7watt subwoofer ...
(dell speaker not nice !!)
For the price is still ok ... bcoz lenovo last unit over price, they just said it's new design so it's cost 5k ++ =.='''

60-70 degree ++ is ok for me while gaming (mostly is that 7200rpm HDD made the palm rest hot, if spoils just replace lo ^^ )

hrm, my friend is having the asus n50...
da graphics card rocks, bt all ASUS designs are so similar and it looks like business laptops to me...haha

swt ...
n50vn look like business class =.='''
K series just like business class !!
SXPS selling design, the HD 3670 is GDDR3 if not mistaken.
n50vn GC not rock enough, n81vp from USA with ATI 4650 more RoCK ^^

lolz, well said..

aiks, are we all off-topic already? haha

Ya off topic ^^
LAst few day SXPS 13 hving a good promotion, 500gb,4gb ram for free ^^
If can get 500 cash redemption for SXPS 16 i think still worth gua ~

the biggest problem for us now is that no manufacturer release laptops with good specs and good design.. either look like a brick with good specs... or look fashionable but performance subpar.. the only thing that make the sxps 16 stands in the crowd is the full led screen with backlight and latest montevina chipset and ddr3... too bad the gc not up to par with the market's current trend of 9600gt

you are right !!
SXPS very nice in the LCD panel ... so wth hp HDX series ...
design pr spect trouble me ~

if the hdx16t wrer rm700 cheaper .. i would rather get the hdx... too bad its out of my budget...

so go make some survey ^^
HDX hv renew series ald ...
waiting dell .. some one said sxps 16 with 4650 ~.~
the price will up again ??

its already up high since the time i bought my sxps..i got mine with the targus bag and upograded here and there for 5250... some more they refunded because the tv card not compatible... now the price hike up a lot

nvidia fanboy spotted. the gpu of sxps is built as 9600gt's competitor lah. other higher offering from ati will trash it out of water. and you forget the ddr2 version of 9600gt from hdx16t performance is even lower from what i read.

well,besides SXPS and HDX, there are loads of laptop with good spec and nice design also...

Asus N50/N51 series (GeForce GT 130M), Lamborghini VX5 (GeForce GT 130M with C2Q Q9000), Alienware (dun need to say rit... ), HP Pavilion dv6 (Radeon HD 4650)

and no, 9600M GT is not an uber card, and HD 3670 with GDDR3 can catch up to it (GDDR3 version only) with less heat also... both scores abt 5k+ in 3D Mark 06

problem with Nvidia, is that they dun have a good enuf mainstream card in the market... ATi's supposedly value card HD4570 GDDR3 can catchup with GeForce 9600M GT/9650M GT/GT 120M with DDR2... and it's mainstream HD4650 is on par with GeForce 9700M GTS/ GTS 150M...

and believe it or not, the 9600M GT on HDX 16 scores only 4k+ in 3D Mark 06 as it's only using DDR2... it's consider low performance for the price u pay...

haiz ... see SPXS 16 3Dmark06 can win ASUS Lamborghini VX5 using GDDR3 ??
By the way how much is DV 6 with 4650 ??
I saw dv6 with 9200GS ald 5k ~
Lenovo Y450-PEI using GT 130M ^^
hp renw HDX 16 with GT 130M ^^

GT 130M isn't far superior from both HD3670 and 9600GTM, it's just the higher clocked version of 9650GTM which is the higher clocked version of 9600GTM. based from 3dmark06 it's just few hundreds higher.

considered the way HP always using ddr2 version gpu for their laptop, i'm not surprised the one in the new hdx16t is ddr2 as well. though i'm not sure on it.

ya GDDR3 130M gT is just about 1k highier than ATI 3670 GDDR3 on 3DMarl 06 only^^
by the way pls go to see other benchamark like Crysis... is about double ^^3DMark Ventage ^^
