how long does you all take to get your studio 15 since the payment was made? dell state that normally it take 7 to 10 working days. but can it be faster than that?

Thanks for the explanation mate. Well, the thing is, I close all applications usually.

Previous experience :

Dell Inspiron 1420

First year was ok - played wc3 on net servers, mozilla, msn all running
Second year - started heating up a bit, even when not gaming. Finally it heated up like fark until mobo GG. Dell technician replaced it for me FOC.
Third year - the problems started coming again - heat like like crazy when watching some movie/show after 1 hour. then have to restart lappie.

It was stolen from my house during CNY

Now i'm having this new dell studio 1557. Its supposed to be so powerful with the i7 and all that. I thought I would never face this heating problem again.

But 2 or 3 days ago it was damn hot, everything was lagging (i left it on for 1-2 days). Only stuff that was running was mozilla, and msn.

Bleh... so restarted. Till now, no problems... but I'm always puzzled by this heating up and everything starting to lag issue.

btw, there are dozens and dozens of unknown shit running in the background la. I only know the biggest contributors are mozilla firefox and msn (and acrobat reader if i'm on it). The rest are all windows stuff, webcam stuff, and unknown processes like Toaster.exe and wlcomm.exe and wltray.exe dwm.exe @_@

currently im using STUDIO 1558 (add me in list plz) . i do not suffer any heat problems. but i know there are some heat issue with older 1558 model in dell forum, mayb you are suffering from the same problems also. if this continue after u did a clean format, i suggest u should contact dell.

Hi I don't know if this is out of Topic, but I am planning to buy a laptop from Dell Direct Retail shop (the one at Midvalley). Can I purchase it with cash? Because I googled and it seemed last time they don't accept cash, but what about now? I don't have a credit card. I'm applying but it will take me 3-4 weeks to get the card -__- Thanks!!

They do accept cash. I remember i accompany my fren to bought 1 inspiron at mid valley last year.

setting the dpi is nt so nice sometimes, as certain software are nt able to scale correctly.. if u are using chrome, u can goto chrome://settings/fonts and tune ur minimum font size there..
