hi everyone... i just got my xps 16 few days ago. i'm lovin' it... but then i found 1 bloody DEAD PIXEL on my lcd!!! what am i supposed to do?

call dell for replacement ^^

Are you sure they will replace for 1 dead pixel only? I thought minimum must be 3 or smth like that?

1. Do we need to take out the batt when we're using adapter? Will the batt continue charging even when it's full?
2. Did you guys find that the sounds from the speakers to be soft?

today i go ground floor lowyat to have a look on studio 15 and yet i found xps 1640 is much attracting me..but then when i look for the price..rm 4199 for i7 processor,500gb hdd,1gb ati and 4gb ddr3ram come with window 7...still gt many free gift worth 200 i think(8gb pendrive,mouse bla bla bla)..i think is quite worth the price..but then when i back home and check on9 in dell official website..the same spec of tis xps 1640..much more expensive than wat i saw on lowyat ....cost 4999....how come like tis? suppose order on9 from dell website more cheaper than outlet one...anyone can tell me why? and actually the market price is how much now? i am interior designer and i gt to do some 3d drawing and photoshop,autocad...is it tis model suit for me?

because the prices online changes also..

even if u purchase ur dell by calling them also can get great deal

it looks quite hard to do that ? so if i order on9, direct calling them and buy from retail shop...i can get 3 different prices with these 3 ways?

@wenway: which lowyat shop is that?

Yeah, I'd like to know too. Because RM4.2k for an i7 720QM, Mobility Radeon HD4670 and 4GB of DDR3 RAM sounds too good to be true. My hunch is that the price listed was inaccurate.

Oh, ok. Thanks. U buy from them already?

i bought mine 4.2K, for P8700, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD 7200rpm, HD4670
i7-core got so cheap now??
