Ok guys,
went thru dell's site www.dell.co.in to look for the XPS Studio 16,my budget for this lappy is upto Rs.85,000/-with gaming, programming and a lil'bit of movie watching being my requirememnts..
so plz help me clarify these points:
1.) Is it better to hv a 64bit or a 32bit OS? (my primary work wud be for Java and Advance Java like Netbeans, web applications, running server on it like apache/synapse and JDBC all at the same time..)
2.) as per my work requirements above as a student, shud i hv more than 4GB of RAM in the lappy, like say 5,6 or 8GB? (32 bit OS needs upto max of 4GB RAM where as 64 bit OS will allow me to add more than 4GB of RAM, as per DELL's site)
3.) Shud i go for 1080p FULL HD type of lappy screen or 720p (reso: 1366x768) (i like watching movies and with the dual headphone jack, i will watch it occassionally, but still for future proofing, is 1080p good)?
I am absolutely comfortable with the 1440x900 reso on my PC's 19" LCD Screen
4.) If suppose, i take the option of the above (1080p FULL HD screen having reso: 1920x1080), shud i Compulsorily also hv the blu ray drive to watch FULL HD movies on it ?
5.) Is the 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670 better for gaming ?? Im not like those ultra high end gamers, but still want tat the latest games shud run on ATLEAST mid to high settings if NOT ultra high settings..
---------------------
6.) (order related query): is it better to buy the lappy from Croma Store, Malad or place an order online or via their call center (wichever way that is, i dnt knw much abt placing order online, so plz advice me) to get the max discount ??
I once (like 4 months back) asked abt the Discount thingy to the sales person at Croma Store, malad.. he said tat I can save upto Rs.4000/- if i get the lappy deliverd outside the Mumbai area, say to my friend's place at Virar..
----------------
Im planning to make the purchase in 1 week's time..

Cheers n e-peace...
