more pics coming right up! TM-Nut is slow.

i'll do some benchies. wont do it now, but tomorrow. I'm actually fighting my eyes right now. gile letih... haha.

on the side note, am I the only one see this laptop as ghey? In the picture it looks awsome, and some review looks great, but after holding it closer, It looks ghey.

but all my family agree that this laptop is good in red rather than black.

becoz the top part is red, but the bottom part (the lether part) is pink! Will I look gay if i bring this to cafe surfing and replying to LYN?

I dunno why, now after a good night sleep. and different lighting, the leather part doesnt look that much of a pink, but more like darker pink.

later this day, I'll post up another batch of pics. for now, I must go to Muar, a family gathering. suppose I am not following, but my sister cancel last minute (just 30 mins ago) i must go.

maybe the quality of my compact camera is not so good compared to Nikon D90 + Studio class lighting.... that is why my pics looks pinkish....

one pic with diff lighting for now.

both my old Asus K50 and this new XPS is fingerprint magnet.

the flash of my compact really make the leather part look pink. and also, at night, with my stupid light(lampu kalimantang 6 years old) the bottom part look pink. lolz. under normal sunlight, it doesnt look that of a pink.

I dont care, next time I go to public place, I will dress also like Günther.

not all pink. most of them is red. sheesh...

I think what I do is maybe use a sticker or any other skin to cover up the pink part. the red hot will speak for themselves.

oulitfe, update the user list! add me. to make life easier, here is mine:

Now currently I'm doing some partitioning. Gonna resize the partition accordingly, coz 1 big chunk is not what I like to see in my lappy.

planned to also resize the recovery partition, coz it is using 15GB size, but actual usage is only around 5GB. so gonna shrink it to 8 GB, that means 3GB headroom for whatever reason dell wanna use it. I always have drive D that is larger than my C, coz my media files is quite large.

Benchie wont be coming up soon, coz I dunno why, 3dmark06 wont start. the same installer can be use in my desktop 32bit ultimate, but this 64bit home premium wont start, files missing etc... maybe i should get the newer 3dmarkvantage.

those were the real time unboxing pics. if you want, I can go to my office studio (after CNY) and do a mock full video unboxing. coz I dont have any camera stand.

I'm still using the old acronis boot cd for all my partition creation, managing, resizing, copying, etc... still rules. hope dell doesnt have any stupid proprietary format for their hdd, or this will take up whole day....

benchies that I can do for now: all packed in one big pic.

it not a gaming laptop. if you want to gaming a lot, go for Alienware. Studio XPS is put under multimedia Laptop. I know it sounds weird but it is.

3 days worth of usage, I did notice the heat can rather get pretty annoying. My Asus K50 (which uses AMD) is far more cooler. Yes man. it is cooler. not the tech thingy(which you use software to check), but me as a user itself. The palm rest is hot really hot when gaming. but my asus palmrest remain cool in gaming, in fact cooler than my hand even. and if I do some browsing and chatting on the net, usually i would let my laptop rest onto my lap (hence the name laptop ) and the heat form this XPS is annoying....

the keyboard sometime gets hot too. under game. the K50 hot place is only at the top part (above the keyboard) and the bottom part. This XPS gets hot all over the place.

oh shi* i've had laptop since 2007, and 3 years of this habit is not going to be easy to get rid of.

does that mean i have a big lap?

it is slim and good looking too.

slim + good spec = really big hole on your bank account.

for all these years, laptops sound quality is just so-so. I always used my phillips earphone. better clarity and bass reproduction.

for me the external speaker is better compared to my Asus K50, the obvious thing is this XPS got its own subwoofer, and i can certainly feel it.

i am putting the laptop on my lap, so i can literaly feel it.

played Burnout paradise, highest settings in 1280x720. using fraps get 30~35 fps. lowest i think is 29 or 28fps.
