hi anybody know the 24/7 hotline support specifically for xps users? i know theres a number just that i lost that paper.

At that price, you are better off getting the Sager NP8662 if you want better raw performance. Of course, you'll have to downgrade the screen, but overall, it is still cheaper.

1 800 88 5784
if not 1 800 88 1306

Does anyone have the problem of such as, sudden red screen or yellow screen?
I having such problem once in a while.

call dell... change lcd.

Should I?
Or did I do something wrongly?
Like always, I'm powered by the adapter, never had the battery plugged in.
But once in a blue moon, I will plug in my battery and just switch off the adapter because I moved the laptop around the house.
Sometimes the problem arise, sometimes not.

Or should I refrain myself from doing so in the future?
Would it really cause a harm to my LCD/laptop?
Feedback is well appreciated, thanks!

haiz~
why you scared to change ??
if they done any damage to ur unit while exchange LCD panel, you can ask for replacement for the damage part as well ^^

I wasn't scared, was just asking around if what I'm doing was wrong?
And it was a hassle for me to ask them to replace it unless the problem persist along the way.
So was just asking for some opinion though.

Just got back from PC Fair. In case anyone's interested, there are 2 distributors selling the Dell SXPS 16 i7, both RM4,999 with 1 year Dell warranty.

One offering some 3D2N travel package, backpack + Nesh water filter. Not the usual freebies. Feels more to me like they're just dumping whatever they have into the freebie package.

The other one (3rd floor, the 1st booth on left of entrance) offering an 8GB pendrive, a backpack and a "hamper" that includes mouse, headset, cooling pad, mini USB hub and some laptop cleaning stuff.



Edit: ^ it's actually the 1st booth on right of entrance my mistake, paiseh...

Dear cain,

Nice Laptop you got and i am also interested. But one issue to me!

I7 processor is very hot right?

Mind sharing the I7 Processor and GPU HD 4670 temperuture?

Also, mind sharing the Pro & cons based on your own opinion.

If very good, i decide to get one too :-)

Added on December 5, 2009, 7:48 pmT9600 as compared to I7 Dell xps

Probably less heat issue........... ???

For long term wise, which one might be a better choice btw T9600 and I7 720M?

Great news Cain~

The 3rd floor's offer seems quite attractive.Is that an authorised Dell shop btw?

One more thing,when is the next pc fair gonna be?I missed this year's due to exams

Haven't get the lappie myself, so cannot run the temp test for you, sorry

But for me it is not a major concern, the heat issue i mean. Usually when not gaming it should be fine. Gaming time then use a fan to blow at it lor~

Pros and cons are diff for each person cuz everyone's priority is diff. Hav to choose one that suits u most mah

Yup it's an authorized dealer. They're from Lowyat actually.

Usually the 1st Pikom PC fair of the year would be sometime around April iinm.
