Good buy. U should have your Complete cover upgraded to 3 years. It so much cheaper to do it during ur purchase than after receiving it.

i asked abt the 3 yr warranty they told me the accidental damage cover is only for the 1st year . so i didnt upgrade 1st, perhaps at a later date then will try to extend the warranty.
usually how long does it takes for them to build the laptop and deliver to our doorsteps?
is the production in singapore itself?

Just went to courts website, the gfx card is different from the 1 that i custom build. (7970m vs gtx675m) similar configuration can be bought at pc dreams for much cheaper price. Afaik installment plan is also available. Not trying to advertise, its just that i went there 2weeks ago wanting to get a msi gt70 there but in the end went to get alienware with radeon 7970m which is a better gfx card compared to nvidia gtx675m

7970m at dell is $50 cheaper then gtx675, henced the choice of customizing the 1 that i really want instead of just buying for the sake of buying.

Thanks for the reply
But I'm a non credit card holder working adult
Therefore I guess tat the only choices is Courts
As they accept installment for non credit card holder
