    Hi guys.
    So im pretty darn happy about ordering my brand new m14x in hong kong few days ago
    Hmm unfortunetly just now few mins ago
    the team from dell had called just now saying that my order will held up and be cancell
    becoz there will be new free upgrade launch today

    it will be upgrading from 2720QM to 2760QM

    therefore they helped.me to start a new order with free upgrade

    well ive done a bit of research is about 200MHz
    and turbo boost to 3.5Ghz

    hmm would like to ask about this upgrade
    anyone hv anymore details about 2760QM

    Thx guys

    so which one is better? the new or the old CPU? seems a bit in between no?
    from a pure CPU performance point of view i mean.

    How will that impact gaming/movie/photo editing?

    I dunno bro.
    It seems to me a little bit faster and better using turbo boost?
    Rumors said that 2760 is kinda like old serious of 28xxQM
    so i guess it will def do better interms of using turbo boost?
    But i dunno man. Hmm since the sales called me today and help me to do a free update so i guess it would be a good thing. I guess

    My payment got processed this morning and my m14x is in production since 2:30pm today. Im crossing my fingers in hope that the 2720qm is not available and they give me a 2760qm, however improbable that sounds. 200 mhz is not a big deal to me when the main factor for gaming is the gpu according to the experts.
