    Yo! I've been reading alot about Asus N56VZ, MSI GE60 and Clevo W150ERM. Cant really decide which to get though. I got quite a good stationary computer so the laptop is just for the few times I go to LAN or travel. Like at most 3-4 days/month.

    If I decide going W150ERM I got a few questions.

    This is where im buying it: F-512B - Family Performance [F] - Bärbara - apparently they call it F-512B here.


    1 x Standard/stock, 1920x1080, 60% NTSC, matte How is this this screen? Worth it going for the more expensive one?
    1 x I5 3210M | 2,5-3,1 GHz 3 MB, 35 W Unsure here if it's really worth it getting i7, as I wont really be using this laptop that much.
    1 x 8 GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 MHz (2x4 GB) Does it matter if I get 1600MHz or 1333MHz? The latter one is a bit cheaper.
    1 x Nvidia GT 650M 1 GB GDDR5
    1 x Intel Centrino Ultimate 630
    1 x Arctic MX-4

    Price: 7890SEK/1137USD

    And I plan on getting a 60/120gig ssd and storage drive by myself as that's cheaper.

    If I got for the expensive one screen i think ill pay the extra 65USD to get "perfect pixel warranty"


    The positive for the asus/msi from what i've read they are more compact, lighter and better sound/cooling system?

    If you won't be using it much.

    I would keep the screen. It's nice.
    Go for 1333MHz RAM and maybe going for i3? There will be a difference, but it won't be massive.

    Have fun :) and this machine is fairly built too.

    But the Asus and MSI have their advantages aswell as disadvantages.. Prema made a custom BIOS for this laptop, hehe lots of options

    As this notebook is using Optimus, the bandwidth of RAM will directly affect the iGPU bandwidth, if I was you I'd go for 1600MHz 8GB, i5 or i3 for the CPU and stock matte screen.

    Ah. Guess I will go for 1600MHz and i5 then. But is there any review or something about the stock screen?

    I save like 432US by going stock screeen, i5. It's not like im poor, I can easily get i7/the better screen but just not sure if it's worth it as I will mostly sit by my stationary anyway.

    Like hooow much better is this AOW screen then stock?

    In the case of P150EM, stock screen is 60% gamut, 95% matte can display a larger colour display range, wider viewing angle, but it does seem a bit too rich in colour so I had to calibrate it myself, otherwise my eyes stress out quick by looking at it, not sure about the W150ERM tho.
