from HD3670 to HD4670...they didn't increase the price iirc just for Dell USA.I don't think Dell even fancies the idea of choosing between 2 GPU eh

oo you mean they didnt change the price back then except for dell USA or no price change everywhere except dell USA?

even increase also not much, mayb rm100-200 difference only

hmm i feel like getting the laptop now itself, don't wanna wait again despite the gpu refresh. im not a heavy gamer anyway, only play games like dragon age and rpg games, no fps or any of the sort. so the HD 4670 would be sufficient, no?

really suffice, but nowdays RPG itself have lots of games. new RPG sure is berat one. but for 2-3 years, I think its ok.

I play RTS a lot, so to speak. my 4570 is too underpowered to run anything with med settings. now have to cope with low settings. haha.

Hey guys, jz want to know about the BIOS.
I still using A10, while the driver support now release A12 already.
But i searched forum outside, many ppl complain this A12 got problem, that will makes your whole laptop need to be send to factory to fix.
Does anyone try it upgrade your BIOS b4? From A10 -> A12..???
Need to really confirm this statement before doing BIOS upgrade on my XPS 16.

Definitely can handle those games medium/high details.Get it while its cheap now at RM3799 or else you wanna fork out another RM200 unnecessarily?

Anyway,to spice things up,Studio XPS 16 can be destribed to be a "perfect" laptop - top notch build quality and design and excellent specifications(4670+P8700/i5/i7).What more could u want?

agree with you kytz. as long as you take care of your unit well, it will serve you well also. few OCs, heavy games wont hurt much. but if you plan to play games heavily, i would suggest a desktop.

Like mine, I plan to do a full skin cover/guard. Know any product that specifically caters this? I know InvisiShield for Handphones/smartphones.

dell sxs16 bios allow us to OC??

Your budget? kioks in sg wang, lowyat offer skinning service...hydraskins also got this service at their sunway pyramid branch...

Can u explain a little more about skinning/hydra skinning?It's transparent right? How much please...i heard its around RM100

Else,Kaizeru, i guess it would be using screen protector and using them as the laptop skin(covering lid,edges and the touch pad area....basically all the glossy parts)

Or skinning would be better

nop... but iirc that a software for OC even i5/i7

hi, do u know if the xps 16 with i7-720qm processor will freeze out of no where sometimes? because some users say that their computer with that processor will just freeze out of nowhere. anyone experience that problem before?

huh~ is the processor problem or motherboard problem ??
freeze out meant hanging ??

xplain more, and where is the kiosk? the one beside the escalator?
I would like to cover as much as possible, as I've paid a good amount of money for this XPS. skinning is the last option.

from zagg eh? seen them, but I prefer if I could buy in Malaysia first.

the throttling issue, I think dell is releasing new power brick and new BIOS for that, as what I've read in outside forum. norebookreviu i think.

those who get i5/i7 model better get the adapter with 130w lor

to use the 130W adapter, the BIOS must be correct also, if not, the XPS motherboard just draws 90W worth of power

so far i don have any problem, i try to push limit b4 max 2.8Ghz(don know how to reach 3.0Ghz) still stable.
latest BIOS not recommended to upgrade, it will bring down the performance tested this morning on my friend laptop~start up pretty slow

placed my order with dell alrdy, i bought the Red Merlot SXPS16 with core i5 520 2.4GHz. i ordered through phone though, the guy said he would email me the details but i havent received yet, is this normal? i think i should call back the SA tmrw.

they need time prepare P.O, don worry credit card purchase 100% safety
