For some reason, i just formatted my Studio 15 just now and reinstall the Audigy MB Advance driver. And it worked! No idea why the key was not working previously. LOL...

Uh, just got my touch sensitive button warrantied yesterday. Had the problem of them auto activating by their own for sometime now and didn't do anything until i realise my warranty is ending

They change the top panel but still, problem persist. Anyone actually have their problem with the touch sensitive button fixed? About to call again today and request for a fix again.

Just realised the Warranty Extension for Studio 15 cost about RM700. Got an email from Dell asking me to extend my warranty and at that link, its listed as RM480. Called the CS and they said that price is only for Inspiron, and Studio will cost RM700. Crazy...

Well, if its the quoted 400+, i dont mind upgrading. Luckily i called to confirmed and they said its about 700+ which someone doesn't really worth the price, unless its some major breakdown like LCD or motherboard. Battery are not covered anyway even if we extend.

I changed mine last time as well but they gave me replacement stickers Or perharps, they peel of the original one and put them onto the new palm rest


Tired of calling Dell, after so many times, they still fail to fix my "too sensitive until it operates on its own" touch sensitive buttons. Guess even they cant do anything on it.

They replaced the top panel, saying its because the panel is too tight or something like that. Complained twice, replaced twice, but still same problem occrured. I got that problem since the very first month i got the S15. Asked them to fixed it but they never actually did until today. Warranty gonna end next month. So, might give it a try and ask them to fix it again.

They would? LOL...If they will, i can give it a try Well, yes, apparently my first problem was the top panel (the black part where the speaker resides) are abit loose. So, i called up, and instead of changing the whole laptop, they decided to change the panel only. Since then, the "too sensitive" touch button appears. Called up again, and they change the panel again. But problem still occurs. Lazy to call again, and decide to stick with it (for a couple of months).

And when i found out its annoying again, i call again, and they replace the damn panel again, and same problem still there. I wonder they never realise changing the top panel wont work.

Its a 1 year, standard warranty you get when you purchase the S15. If 2 years, it cost RM1k which is extremely unworthy, at least to me.

The sim card was never meant to be used here. At least thats what i found out. Searching the net did says that it is somehow designed for some place overseas that has the ability to use the slot instead of some mobile broadband thing etc. I tried it before as well and you can never detect it. Probably you need some built in HSDPA modem or something.

Haha..I for one, have loads of problem with Dell laptop before. Had one Latitude from my previous company, the LCD kong the very first week received. Then, after changed, keep getting BSOD due to faulty ram. My first Dell, the S15, had so many problems. Faulty wireless switch, weak top panel (Squeeky sound when press), problematic touch sensitive buttons, faulty power led etc.

Had to complain so many times, until i also lazy to complain about the touch sensitive button already But for some reason, i still favor Dell Just ordered the 14z to replace my S15 anyway yesterday

LOL..Not really. Someone is interested in purchasing my S15 so i decided to let it go. Somehow, 15" seems a tad too big for me, thus me changing to the 14z. Was looking at the 13z but there are some features missing, so i decided with 14z instead

Regarding the GPU, not really interested to game on my laptop. I had a PC specifically for that. Besides, i tried gaming on my S15 before and it just sucked so bad, i decided not to do it again. Except perhaps for some regular CS or Warcraft on it Design wise, yes, the Studio XPS does look nicer than the 14z but i am already tired of the same slot load "load noise" dvdrom, the touch sensitve buttons etc. Not my cup of tea

Not just that. My S1537 had a hard time playing Grid and RA3 as well. Need to really downgrade the quality in order to play it smoothly and that, for me, just degrade the whole experience of enjoying the game. Thus, this is where my desktop will do the job just nicely

Well, 14z only comes with black or red as option. And yes, its HD4330. 13z is almost the same price as the 14z but missing certain features such as the HDMI port etc. The only reason i didnt choose the Studio XPS is because i wanna stay away from the touch sensitive keys. Besides, i have no use for the media remote as well (it keeps coming out whenever i put my laptop into the bag for some reason).

Other than that, i will be sorely missing the backlight keyboard on the 14z.

They do actually. My latest laptop from Dell, they requested to deliver it on a Saturday, between 9am to 2pm. So, you might want to give them a call to arrange. Normally, they will send you an SMS about the date & time of delivery. If it does not suit you, call back the number in the SMS and arrange with them.

Yes you can. As long as its Maybank or Citibank.

Well, i for one was shocked as well when they say they are going to send to me on Saturday. Unsure of the whole reason behind it though but of course, i screw them up pretty badly prior to receiving the laptop. That might be the cause of it for sending it to me, even on weekends

Well, my S1535 have 3 USB ports and 1 eSata/USB port.

I am running it with Avira AntiVir. Try that out. Works fine for me thus far

Yes, its extremely hot on my case as well. Same thing with my Inspiron 14z charger. Never actually measure the current temperature though.

Well, i used it for over 1 year already. And all of my Dell charger especially the slim ones, are very hot. So, i dont think there is any problem with it

You mean they didn't update the tracking system that they provide you? If yes, send them an email, and call the CS to blast them to pieces. At least, thats what i did when i ordered my 14z. They put the tracking as "Order Received" for over 7 working days before i sent them a complaint. They responded with ALOT of excuses, saying its a popular model, its festive season, its this and that..bla bla bla... and then, provide me with an estimated delivery date of 5 freaking weeks later.

Again, sent them a reply and blasted them about their promise of 2 weeks delivery. They updated the estimated delivery date to about 3 weeks later. And just 2 days later, they called and says my item is ready for delivery. Funny how they can react so fast after being blasted. In the end, i received it within 14 working days.

To be honest, if they had promised you that the item will arrive within two weeks, i would send them an email, asking for an estimation. They always use the festive season as a reason for late delivery. Its acceptable if its 1 week late, but over 3 weeks later than the estimated date are too much.

Thats good Good luck then. And remember, the more you chase after them, the faster they arrive

No you cant. It was meant for some countries in the UK with HSDPA modem built into the laptop. Its unusable here
