Hehe ... you can do that? I really have no idea about this ...

yup, the guy told me it has a penalty of RM80 if you were to return your purchase. this is my plan number 1 to avoid being obsolete.

plan #2 involves CompleteCover and an "accident". hehehhehe

Now wait a minute...i'm getting mine after CNY....so i can return it back within 2 weeks?I just need to pay RM80 and they'll refund me the RM3599 which i paid?I didn't hear anything about it before blink.gif

yup, that's what the SA told me, of course dell has have a return policy. most companies do. smile.gif

and yes, i believe it would be time consuming since i think you have to send the laptop back yourself which means through postage. but if it means that much to you, wouldn't be a problem.

@@, my laptop is coming on 18/2 another 3 more days.
But i dont plan to return, how much different the GPU can be?
Cause i think i bought it at a very cheap price, base on the current price in Dell web now. I already got a discount of RM 400 with a free backpack.
Which is cost RM 3778. Original cost now was RM 4178.
Good Deal i guess , if i refund it now although i get a new GPU but i already wasted $$$, and time.

Maybe to get a new XPS 16, i would need to pay Extra RM 300-400+ include penalty cost and postage.

which is why we'd never know, the gpu would probably be the ATI 5000 series, it supports DX11 and is a generally better gpu than the HD 4670. however, the HD4670 is still a great GPU and definitely not obsolete. DX11 is not in full motion support since it's rather new i believe, and unless you're a graphics whore you wouldn't really be concerned. I believe that if your laptop specs fit your necessity, there's no need to return your laptop.
