By comparison, I'd say the HP is the best value for money, where if you customize the Dell to match the HP, you'll overshoot RM6k by at least a few hundreds. The FW with the matching specs will cost even more.

And what's more: the HDX 16T gives you a numerical keypad, great for me as I key in a lotta data, while the 1640 and the FW doesn't have one, and instead they waste the space for nothing...

Lastly, when choosing a 16" laptop, think why you're buying one. I'm buying one for its great aspect ratio of 16:9 to watch HD movies. So which screen amongst all 3 is the best? I'd say the Vaio FW has the best here, but the HDX 16 has the UltraBrightview double lighting to make movies look brighter and sharper.

If you look at the older XPS models, the new 16-incher is not much of an improvement, though I can't comment much on the new Audio system on it with a subwoofer, as I really don't know the quality on it. But hey, Dell's got an RM500 rebate (if your specs exceed RM5k) for CNY, go for it!

the default spec with 4gb ram, 320gb hdd and 3 years complete care for rm4.8k. wanted to get rgbled screen but i think that resolution is too much for 16".

anyway tried crysis benchmark tool just now. 25fps on 1280x720 and 30fps on 1024x768 with medium-high setting (texture, object and shader high). gpu temp is around 75c when heavy gaming.
