    Hi. After a long time not being on this forum i have a question for you all.
    I m looking into buying new laptop, but i'm not orientated onto games but if i try some i would like to play it at least on medium details. I have a Dell XPS Studio 16 in mind . I love it becouse of it's compact housing,keyboard and fullHD RBG LED display. Asus's G50,Alienware,Toshiba's X5xx.... they are all fat and i don't like futuristic design's and those colors on them. I'm looking into core i7 820, ati 4670 1gb, 500gb 7200rpm ....... I know it's somewhere on par with q9200 .How much is this better that let's say config. with 2.4 c2d ? I cannot find any decent review of a core i7 laptop? Do you guys have any usefull links ? Or maybe a dell xps studio 16 with ati 4670 review ?

    Thanks

    edit

    vaio or dell ? How does vaio display compare to dell's ?

    Since the i7's are not out for mass distribution until October 22nd, only certain places who got an early sample unit could've posted a review. Basically, it is still the same machine as the Studio XPS 16, only with a different CPU, so I suggest looking at regular Studio XPS 16 reviews if you're concerned about general things like build quality, speakers, screen and all that. Nearly nothing else except the CPU has changed(I recall a few other minor things, but I can't remember them atm) from the 1640 to 1645(the i7 model).
