    Taking into account the i7 models, how do these rank in terms of

    i) Build quality (least amount of flex etc)
    ii) How well they handle heat emmissions

    Deciding between these 3 at the moment against the M15x. I am not going to be playing any serious games, will be using it more for multimedia purposes - although M15x is mainly for people looking to do a lot of gaming - its build quality/heat handling etc to me, seems the best i7 laptop available atm. Unless, one of the Dell ones have very good build quality etc to justify the cost difference, I guess I will take them over the M15x (because to be honest, if the quality is bad and it is something which I will have to constantly send off for repair, I prefer to pay more for the M15x, with the only downside being it is big and heavy)
