I am looking forward to getting a Dell XPS 15 with intel i7-740QM, 8GB RAM and an nVidia GeForce GT435m....
I am concerned if the card is good enough to handle recent games... Not expecting bleeding edge graphics... But does it have a decent performance ? Also, does optimus interfere while playing games ? The brochure says
"nVidia GT435m with Bluetooth"... what's the Bluetooth part ?? I couldn't quite understand that...
Also, I want to dual boot it with Windows 7 HP + OpenSUSE 11.3
Does it perform well with OpenSUSE ?? I hope it doesn't present any hardware issues, because i need Linux on a daily basis.....
 
it will run most games at 1600x900 at normal settings things like crysis and stuff of that sort will need more oomph, such as the Asus G73JH-RBBX05 with the HD 5870M or the ASUS G53JW-XA1 with the GTX460m but the GTX 435 should do well in many games, linux drivers im not sure about, sorry. and bluetooth was probably just tacked on as a feature not necessarily part of the GPU.
 
i knew it wasn't too great on the video card department... so i went on with i7 and the large RAM.... kinda to make up for.... Crysis is a long shot... i hope though that it will atleast run in playable conditions...... I actually wanted the G73JW.... but it is too pricy here.... and also not very much available.....
