Out of these four laptops which would you choose?

A $799 samsung with i5, 4 gigs ram, and GT 330. It has no reviews

a $999 Dell with an i5, 4 gigs of ram, and 4670. Great review

A $899 Asus with a C2D, 4 gigs of ram, and GTX260m. Extremely mixed reviews

A $999 Asus with a C2D, 6 gigs of ram, and GTX260m. Better than the other Asus

Which would you choose? My links wouldn't work so I had to post this.

I would go with the Dell laptop. Good reviews and good specs for $999.

I'd go for the $899 ASUS. The GTX 260m is much better than the HD 4670 and 4gb is enough.

Well the $899 and $999 ASUS's makes more sense than the Dell imo.

I know I wouldn't mind those two "problems" as I don't like it when people look at what I am doing and I always use earbuds for sound :lol:

Tis- a $999 Dell with an i5, 4 gigs of ram, and 4670. Great review

Youd prob have to OC it, but that should be quite easy since u can just use SetFSB, if you get it, I can give u good link to optimize it.

However, I wouldnt quite recommend it unless ur feeling lucky. Some ppl get good ones, some ppl get bad ones.

I had the G71GX-RBB05 for a while, the game performance was very nice, but the screen and heat was crazy bad. I am sorta picky when it comes to screen colors. etc. But others complained about the screen too, so I know its not all me.

I'm pretty sure the G72 and the G60 are pretty much the same as the first GTX260 variants as the forums i read pretty much showed same complaints when reading about the G71 and G51s. All in in, buy at ur own risk, you never know, I had bad luck, gave up after having 3 bad G71s and just got my money back. But if you get lucky, it will work well, they havent been around long enough, so only time will tell how long the GTX260s can take getting up to 90c+ on those laptops since Asus decided to only use 1 fan for the CPU and GPU cooling, poor mistake IMHO.

K, sorry for small rant, wasnt trying, but I wish i could recommend them, but from my personal experience and from what I read, I simply cant.

If you're going to game, get the $999 Asus. Personally, I'd get the $999 Dell but I don't do PC gaming. :P

I've heard some pretty good things about it, but dunno about temps in it.

Not sure what that reviewer is talking about the warranty. Asus offers 24months warranty and as long as you buy online and register within 30 days of buying u get 12months accidental spill an drop warranty too.

The downsides to that laptop is the low res. I mean for games the res prob wouldnt be a bother. But if your doing any other kind of work on it, higher screen res is always better.

If you'd like to go and read about all the Asus laptops your finding,these forums cover a lot of ground, from personal use, to just very good general information thats harder to find elsewhere. http://forum.notebookreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19&order=desc

They have other forums for other major laptop manufactures, so pretty much I go there if I want to learn about a laptop. Generally I can pretty much find at least 1 good thread talking about every model you can find.
