I find it funny that they made the studio 15 available with WLED screen but there's still no config for that for the M1530.

my HDD temp is goin up as high as 49 almost 50C...is this normal??
Anyway, they are sending replacement soon...

huh i thought thats normal temperature??

this new model seems the combination of inspiron and xps.
better spec for this new machine if we compare the stock standard studio 15 and xps 1530.
btw,is the graphic card that dedicated in the studio 15(ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450) better than geforce 8600m gt?

mine is 40/41C under normal use
when gaming,the highest is about 44/45C

I think that new laptop Studio 15 is much more cheaper than XPS M1530. How about the performance, which is better if compare both?

Do u guys have any idea when usually Dell will offer the RM500 rebate again? I can't wait to place my order. I patiently wait for it currently. Although i'm not that type actually. Don't know how long i can still hold my patience.
Sry 4 asking. Thanks 4 answering.

hey guys..for ur xps the cover right..will it like easily being peel off?coz i saw the material and it looks like it gonna scratch off easily..=.=ll

Got my replacement d
The technician told me not to use mediadirect if not necessary because got ppl used the media experience and got their HDD corrupted and wanted to sue Dell..lol'ed

LOL. I never use media direct. Usually using Windows Media Player

M1530 OC GPU!

if pc maybe yes, but definately not my 1530

now my housemates keep running into my room and ask me to test game xD

hey anybody knows how much Dell is selling their 6 cell battery ?and their warranty is 1year right ? Need to find out some info

i asked for the 6 cell baterry, and it cost around 400+ ( if u buy it saparately la)

really ? i was told it cost like rm600++

haha 600++ is the 9 cell, i called dell the other day and ask if i wanna buy the 6 cell in the future, they told me cost around RM400+

hey can i ask if i buy online..the warranty is 1 year international warranty or just asia paciic warranty?

not too sure whether international or not but i know is just 1 year but i'm assuming it should cover wherever you are in the world. worst case scenario bring back to Malaysia to claim . But if anybody interested, i got one spare NEW battery with 1year warranty. So if new is rm400++ i guess i can let go mine at rm300 ?

well, if u wan precise price, u can call dell tomolo!

Yup, will call them up tomorrow

if i not mistaken 1 year warranty just for local warranty (Malaysia) but if you want the international support you has to get the 3 years warranty.

im planning to bring it overseas for my studies..so impossible for me to come back malaysia just to service the notebook..lol



hmm..ya i thought so too..thx anyway =)

However, i did ask the customer service, was told even your notebook warranty is 3years, yet the battery is only 1year. same scenario like handphone. handset 1year but battery 6mths or even 3mths only.

hi i wanna ask, when u listening to music, and u eject the disc out, will it be abit of lagging/draggin ??

found vista 64bit drivers for XPS 1530!!

Dell Dock for XPS user

so what this software do?
docking system?

EDIT: i installed the software. it makes Vista looks like MacOS X.
but i still prefer direct "click" of shortcuts from desktop.
Dell Dock eats some memory, so already uninstalled.

Dell Dock is based on www.stardock.com, ObjectDock

is it possible to use delldock on other model? like inspiron or vostro... thanks

I saw ur sign selling the 6 cell battery right? How come asking us Dell selling how much?

Yes, as long as running in vista no problem. windows xp cannot.

the dell dock will be preinstalled in all upcoming dell laptop and desktop with vista OS
so, it will surely work for all vista OS computer

I just notice if you tune your SRS WOW Effects, the speaker will be better.

To GemKing:

Think you can get your laptop within 3 working days if there is no part shortage. I get mine within 3 working days. Btw, your laptop specs is very attractive.

Well, you can ask them to send it to the place you stay where you study.

Thank u very much! Btw, where can i get the signature that u'r using?



I think safer let them send it to my home.. Coz if send at the place where i'm studying, later all will noe i got a new lappy, scared some of them will try to steal it coz the place got so many laptop stolen cases.. i stay in an apartment prepared by the uni btw.. Thanks 4 the suggestion..

Just get the international warranty if possible.

It's very useful to have one in case it break down in oversea.

Btw, where is your Uni?
No matter where you go, make sure you carry your laptop along especially when you not staying in your own house. Nowadays, there are many laptop stolen case plus your laptop is not cheap as I know. =)

Uiks, like that mati lor.. Go class must bring, go makan outside also must bring.. Maybe i'll put it in my car bonet when im outside.. Izit safe? Ya, my mom also scolded me.. She said dont bring it to the uni.. Later kena curi coz the laptop is not cheap n said i donno to take care of my things although its true actually.. But then wats the point buying if cant use it lor.. Im studying at Uniten btw.. Finance course in Muadzham Shah, Pahang(a ¿city? that doesnt even have one traffic light)

Gemking,

never ever leave your notebook in the car boot.

Yeah i have 2 agree wit u.. Plus i always forgot to lock my car due to late go to class n short term memory..

For me, when I bring my laptop back to college. Will carry with me anytime, anywhere I go. Never leave your laptop alone. But I seldom bring out la because is not light. LOL. My main reason for this laptop is for me to use when I leave to Aussie to study.

just bring ur laptop with whenever u go.... (unless u put it at ur home)
at uni, at class, at toilet, eat, play, just make sure ur laptop is within ur eye sight, unless u can ask fren to watch a while when u go toilet to "OPEN BIG" haha!

this laptop so heavy..
haha..
my shoulder getting sick carrying it at uni..

Guys... now Dell offering the Rm500 rebate. Worth getting now? Or there would be better deal that will be nicer compared to the RM500 rebate?

if you budget is more than RM5000, definitely the RM500 coupon is the best.

PC Fair promo normally they give only for the base spec.
previous April PC Fair, M1530 with spec T7250, 2GB, 250HDD and 8600M GT the price was RM3999.

finally sold off my 1530. guess now no longer member of this thread no more

hey rm500 is quite a lot of discount .. worth it

Guys, which option should i take?

a) 3GB RAM and 200GB 7200RPM HDD
b) 4GB RAM and 250GB 5400RPM HDD

Through what i know, Vista 32-bit utilizes the 3GB only rite So now, i'm stuck between more ram or more rpm's on the hdd... Advices? Can't afford to have the best of both world. So just need the best options.. value for money and performance..
