I've been using ati for a long time so far the benchmark I saw comparing the 7970m to the 675m difference was huge!

how come dell charges customers more on 675m when 675m performance loses out to 7970m by so much?

Got it from the US

Their base model starts with the 3610qm thus cheaper.

Didn't know they ship to SG.

Obviously not from dell direct, look for some other retailers who do that. Good luck!

Btw shipping lot more ex now that USPS has banned all lithium batteries from its shipments.

n00bz I'll be interested in the RAM, I suppose you're getting the 4GB sticks at US$25 each right?

but how about warranty? thought dell is like sony...very troublesome to transfer warranty right? if buying from overseas the best bet is asus....straightforward 2 years international.
