    Hello everyone.


    I have been provided with 2 options for the replacement of my 1645
    1. XPS 15 with 3 yr extended warranty
    2. AW 14
    Refund is out of option as its a international warranty case.I am currently in India and my orignal laptop is from USA.

    Well I am not a hardcore gamer. I game occasionally only. So the XPS is good for me in that department.

    The AW is heavy aswell. The XPS suits my needs well,the only the problem is build quality. My 1645 had better build quality as compared to XPS.

    Also even with same config the AW is too costly as compared to XPS. So if I am able to sell it i would get good money. But here in India its not that easy to sell a Laptop.

    I use the Laptop for coding,watching movies,VMware .... etc and occasional gaming like FIFA 11...

    So which Laptop should i get, I am tilting towards XPS 15. I need your opinions. Why would AW be better than XPS in my case ??.

    Also i am planning to sell either Laptop so any buyers please pm me aswell.

    It really depends what you want to do with it...if you want to lug it around (especially to professional meetings) get the XPS15, it looks much more professional and does not shout gaming notebook.
    By the way the XPS15 has a pretty good build quality...apart from the palmrest...which seems to be the week spot...
