ooh, Dell does come to ur place to fix ur laptop but HP does not provide such service..had bad experience with them so i'll won't bother to get HP notebooks. As for Asus, I own the above laptop that u mean. Well, since for engineering and ur budget is limited, i could say the laptop should suit u quite good. upgrade the ram to 4gb and u're good to go ooh, as for the warranty ar, to extend another year only cost less than 100 over at KL btw if not mistaken the laptop model should b X59GL right?

wat software do u want me to test ar? i tested Left 4 Dead only...on standard settings. u can't expect much out of that gpu though but it surely performs better than intel ..32bit? yeah, but u only see like 3.25gb instead of fully 4gb lor..ooh yeah, the gpu does share some gpu mem with the ram so no worries on it, at least the ram r not wasted lol...well, maybe u could enquire them how come it cost so much? it the warranty by Asus or by the shop itselfs?

don't think so..as long got a lot of ram, it won't b slower. after all it's a Nvidia gpu (surely better than intel gpu a lot) most gpu usually share some more the ram and only a few has dedicated memory
