I just missed out the opportunity with the 512MB Radeon HD 4570 graphic card. Now I need to source out from any retailers in Lowyat. Troublesome.

Asus and Dell which one better? Studio 15 or XPS 13.Since you are not gaming pro as you mention.Should get a Intel Intergrated,since those graphic will generate less heat for sure. |

If you're looking for a gaming laptop (I suppose you are, with that budget(, you could spring for the BenQ S57, which has the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650, a really powerful GC. It's currently 3,999. |

I manage to find a retail shop selling the Dell Studio 15" with the 512MB version of the graphic card.
Quick question - what is the difference between buying a Dell laptop from a retailer in Lowyat and from the Dell website?
In terms of warranty, do I bring back to the shop or send it to Dell straight? Please advise.

RM3299. I dont mind topping up RM100 - RM200 for it but I want to ensure I had the 'proper' model rather than a lower grade one due to GC out of stock.

Anything I have to know before I buy from the retailers tonight? dun need heart break... 4570 is a very powerful entry lvl card... even more so then my 8600M GS... but if we go by AMD's definition, HD 4570 is indeed a low end card... |
