Well I wouldn't really say that. I have bought 3 units from DELL and none faulty. This throttling issue just surfaced and as it is does not affect everyone.... I trust DELL will rectify it...

Is it ok to buy the XPS 16 with C2D P8700 for Rm 4199 from My10s, it seems cheaper compared to the one on Dell's website.

It fail me 3 times >.<''' I like their indoor service but nit their cooling system @@

but dell website price is cheaper even you upgrade to 4gb ram ~~

guys,can i use my HSBC creadit card to buy my XPS Studio 16" online?0% installment?

You forgot about the HDD, the one in My10s is 500gb while the one in Dell default configuration is 320GB

then go for it lo~
but you upgrade warranty from retail is RM500 per year ~
not RM680++ fro dell care premium ~

most 0% installment are available easily for Maybank CCs..

The other banks the dealer would nid to call the dealer and wait for their confirmation if im not mistaken. Which forced me to buy using maybank CC

Well, i aware about throttle performance for other dell's model...not XPS 16 (i7)
But knowing Dell, they sure gonna rectify/replace/whatever it sooner or later..

Based on previous history, most probably they gonna update the bios rather than replacing the power adaptor.

only citibank and maybank

Oh good good

May i know izit all studio xps 16 have "Integrated CREATIVE Sound Blaster® X-Fi MB Audio Software Solution"
Does it have software to control the audio??
What about IDT?? izit the same thing?

Not sure whether updating the bios will solve the power throttle performance issue. logically thinking, surely the laptop need higher voltage to feed the 4 Core for i7....

I remembered that i owned a Gigabyte EP35-DS3 and Intel Q6600 quad core, someone told me it is wiser to get motherboard with 8 pin for quad core instead of 4 pin in order to achieve a more stable performance. Eventually, i change my mother to Gigabyte EP45-UD3R, i find that the performance become more stable and the system can achieve its full potential. In other words, the 8 pin processor power on the motherboard allows more power to feed the 4 Core.

Long story cut short, if they gonna update the bios rather than replacing the power adaptor. Then to me, it may not be worth buying this laptop anymore as i may need to spend extra money to purchase a new adapter. Furthermore, the adapter can run very hot too..........

any SXPS 16 user try L4D2 on ur lappy yet ??

Why would it freak u out?

hei bro i thought u gonna order new set ?! what the outcome ?

hmmmm, i didn't say about " asking or calling not to buy XPS16 "

Just that, if everything goes fine, only then i will decide buy one XPS16, Especially the i7 processor. Just doing some research and get some feedback first before buying one.

The video claims that RGBLED Display has 100% to 110% colours

WLED has only 60% to 70% colours.....

So Users of WLED, what are your comments on the " WLED " screen? Are you very satisfy of it?
