im actually kind of surprised this 9lb monster cant rock a gtx 280 or 4870

mb67 · 09-23-2009, 08:06 PM

Hmm, had it not been for my getting this Studio XPS 16 six months ago, I would consider it.

Yoob@NBF · 09-23-2009, 08:42 PM

Was considering the new Studio XPS 16 with i7 and radeon 4650 in it but ultimately its either this or the HP Envy which ever ships first

gerryjoson · 09-25-2009, 02:59 AM

I was keen on buying one if it didn't have a 16:9 screen....guess I won't be anymore.
It's massive

a full two inches deeper than a normal 15.4" notebook,and with a smaller 16:9 15.6" screen to boot that almost make's it look like one of those old IBM laptop's from the 80's with a huge screen bezel.....that thing's got to have at least three inches of screen bezel on the bottom despite them trying to hide the size of it by making it two tone

I am eye-ing the Envy as well. HP seems to be hitting Dell-AW hard with the expected 2 models in this series.

cheers ...

Yoob you got one?? Post specs!

Steve · 09-25-2009, 11:53 AM

Wow this thing doesn't have an HDMI output port.

The original did. This is big time bad news.

spsfinest · 09-25-2009, 12:24 PM

Maybe you can get an adapter for whatever display port it does come with?

Steve · 09-25-2009, 12:29 PM

VGA? And use what for digital out?

zzpulp · 09-25-2009, 12:57 PM

It probably comes with something called displayport. As you might expect, its compatible with HDMI. I'm too lazy to look up the M15x's specs to make sure it has this port though.
