now you know how much I want to bang my head up to a wall last 2 week. 29th jan order, 12th feb got. 15 days!!!!

just realized that this xps have infrared, and also 3g/hsdpa optional. 1 extra mini pcie wwan slot, 2 more antenna wire, and also, if we remove the battery, we can see the sim card slot.

with all this feature, i think the money i spend is well worth it...

this is the extra WWAN slot.


and this is the sim card slot.


i am trying to find the wwan card, it looks like this.

nothing will happen if we just blindly insert sim card there. we must have the 3G/HSDPA WWAN card also properly installed and configured. there are a software that will handle all the DATA calls and modem configuration.

and also, we must also have an active 3G/HSDPA account.

yea you should. i only have mine pics. if i have a better camera, i would love to make it.

so bored yesterday, i go open the heatsink. and then after I re-apply with this.



later on I go game for 2 hours straight and tell the new temp. forget to log the old temp...

can feel the diff a bit at the palmrest. there are no sticker whatsoever at the screws for the heatsink, so how can dell know?

used "Zalman Super Thermal Greese ZM-STG2".

this is my temp during the running of wprime 1024M 4 threads and furmark.



actually I forget to get before temp.... sorry....

I can safely said the thermal paste I used cooled a lot. i remember that normal working temp , which is firefox open 3 windows, about 10 tab each, 4-5 MS word, winamp, usual task, before I fired up my Adobe suite.


before the temp is at least 52C. so this cools the system a lot.

well, I advise you to check first your laptop condition, see the screws and formulate the best way to do this without scratching anything, coz takut the Acer see and then viod your warranty. I used the Zalman coz after comparing the heat transfer rate. it cost almost the same as the highest Cooler Master offering but the performance is a lot more.

good luck!

I applied to all that come in contact to the copper. both die at CPU chip (why the hell Dell disable the intel GMA although it clearly have this?), and also at the GPU.

click the addreply button, then below the emoticon thing, got attachments place. browse for your pic there. I suggest you resize them first, I always used 1024 as the width. much better for web as it offers quite fast load while still legitable.

congratz... we should make the user list holds out the color too. rare to see someone like me, or izzit really just me use Merlot Red?

hoho, i make my own partitioning. used Acronis Disk Director. really easy to do as long as you know english and common computer terminology.

i have resized my recovery partition to 8GB, my C to 120GB and the rest to create new partition E (cant use d, it is already being used by dvd). all without destroying any existing data.

congratz. same as me. haha. another merlot red xps 16.

guys, I did notice this a long time ago, but maybe I've mistaken. is there such a thing that a virus or a program that can activate the webcam and send the pic to any remote server? i mean without the user's knowing.

I sometimes my webcam LED flash not more than 1 second and it happen totally random...

I am paranoid already and for now, putting a post it note to cover the webcam...

i am not using it. disable as in what? go to the device manager?

but the stupid thing is, I am using it as my login, my paswed is quite long and login using the face is quite fun...

maybe some parts of xps 13 still in stock thus dell dont want to throw it away.

should be ok if the driver support it. apple mouse can be uesd with windows. why not the keyboard?

4hours and 41minutes for 87% battery life.... should I enjoice of this number? I'm at A&W Amcorp mall now.... breakfast....

power profile custom from dell, set eveything to really minimum power usage, and also set the max processor power to 50%, brightness at lowest....
