Studio XPS16 vs. my front runner (Sager np8662)

I'm asking here because i'm sure you guys would know best the positives of the SXPS16, i've already done a lot of research on the Sager. Here's the deal, i'm looking for a new laptop in the next couple of months and I want it to be a solid to very good gaming rig. How does the ATI 4670 graphics card stack up against the nVidia G260M, I know I can pretty much match the two in every other spec except for the cards. Is the ATI that Dell ships GDDR3? And is that RGBLED screen really that amazing? Fill me in on some of great parts of the SXPS16 because with the new card in it, its definitely a contender again.


Oh and to get the specifications that I want, there is only a ~$41 difference if that helps (at least with the current deals from dell anyways).

 

The Clevo beats the **** out of Dell XPS 16 in gaming, if that was your question.

However, the XPS 16 isn't built for gaming, but for entertainment. There the XPS 16 wins clearly (allot due to the RGB-LED display). Also, it's allot cheaper (except if you actually buy the ridiculously overpriced DELL upgrades on it).

 

The 260M is a superior gaming card vs the 4670. Aesthetically the Dell wins easily, the LCD display is much better on the Dell as well. For upgrades, I think the Sager is a bit better since the card isn't soldered to the board. If you're a pure gamer, go for the Sager. If you want a full multimedia laptop with good gaming performance, get the Dell.

 

Yeah the screen and grapics card are the only significant differences I can find. I just need a very good all around rig along with a solid gamer so I'm trying to choose wisely. And unfortunately to get the Dell to the specs I want i'm gonna have to add some of those overpriced upgrades.

 

Both fantastic machine, ive owned the sxps16 and now have the NP8662, if you want a more rounded multimedia experience go with the dell but if you want to focus alittle more on gaming the NP8662 is amazing, im very glad to have made the switch but i had the sxps16 with the HD3670 and the HD4670 is far superior in performance to the one i had......
I also had the 720p screen with the dell and find the sager WSXGA+ screen much nicer than that...
Goodluck with your choice

 

Well, the Clevo also has far less heating issues, and is well built. You also get more stuff for your cash.

4670 is a decent card, but it's only an upper mid range card, not an upper tier 1 class card like GTX 260M.
