questions
1) how many years will i be alright with playing games on highest settings??
2) is the ultimate n wifi link 6300 good or should i get --> Wireless 1520 802.11n Half Mini-Card
3) should i change anything to make the m17x stronger???
4) what is -->240 Watt 3 Prong AC Adapter with 6 ft Power Cord???
5) why is there no blu ray option???

 

6) will there be soon a new refresh??
7)and when will the 5870 be released?

 

yo should get at least 2 years of complete care warranty beside 4 of normal one, the 8gb ram is a waste of money if you don't know how you going to use that much ram,the ssd is good but you should get a single 256gb and a secondary mechanical hd for back ups or files

 

well i live in europe so 3 years of normal warranty will be ok or not??
secondary mechanical hd ??? where can i get that on the option lists??

 

the warranty is up to you but complete care is the best because it covers accidental damage, and the hard drive should be listed as aditional storage you can get a 500gb 7200rpm. hdd. is the best option or they have a 640gb hdd. but is overpriced

 

Yes 3 it's fine.
for the 2nd HD better call DELL directly (do not forget to ask for a discount).
cheers

i mean why is ssd so good anb better than the other drives???

 

SSD boost your loading and reading rates thus increase booting time (very useful when you are fixing problem and need to reboot a lot. I normally lose my temper when I still have problem not fixed and have to watch the Windows to boot slow like hell ) and performance in overall.
It shock free which mean your media playback will not hiccup when you hit your laptop or move it around.
It's so quite, not sound annoying especially at night.
It saves some battery for you.
