Yea...what are you guys using to cover the speaker holes and the battery hole(when u take out the battery).Was thinking of using wrapping paper(the ones to wrap school books )

And use cellophane tape? Or gum?

And also planning to cover all the glossy areas asap...perhaps using screen protector...something thin and stick on-don't need gum or whatsoever to stick it

Yes you are one in a million But i think defective also chose red right?

Edit:My right speaker is spoiled!!!Initially i thought it was just too soft so i increased the left side balance but still the same.Finally i off the right hand side(set it to 0),the sound remains the same which concludes that my right speaker is spoiled

Any of you guys facing the same problem?

And yeah...why doesn't HWMonitor show my GPU temp

OMG i messed up with my sound settings..now it can't detect the driver/device?LOLOL....i used to have 3 icons (hdmi,headphone,and 1 more )..that 1 more sudden;y dissapeared and now no device LOL

Update: Removed since it left marks

Not sure about this but i think it's possible if you haven't paid yet.Try calling up Dell or your SA

RE5 at 1920x1080 AA off settings high vertical sync off

Using variable benchmark get average of 29.1fps

At 1280x720 get average of 40fps

Good peformance

Btw:Anyone noticed that it's kinda laggy when scrolling down in mozilla in 1080p...IE8 is fine

Guys

If i reformat my laptop,would i still get the Dell application like Dell dock,Dell Data safe,Dell remote access which are not found in the driver/app cd provided.The reason why i'm contemplating on reformatting is because i only have one HDD partition which is C drive and would like another one (D).

My last experience with reformatting was with my Fujitsu S7110.I lost a lot of extra programs like Roxio,Microsoft Office 2007 and other useful stuffs given by Fujitsu,after the reformat.So i'm pretty scared history would repeat itself when i reformat my SXPS 16 as i do not want to lose ther Dell Dock,Dell apps,Microsoft Works and etc.

So that's my problem so far.And not forgetting that i'll be calling Dell tomorrow to fix an appointment with the technical team to repair my laptop speakers and probably ask him/her about the partitioning.

Some forumers noted that Dell will roll out the HD5000 line after CNY but now no news yet.But most likely would be around HD57XX series....in fact was once quoted that it would be a HD5730

Hoho....was already planning to reformat my laptop..thus asking around for Dell apps and other stuffs but your post make me think twice

Will be compiling a list of default apps to be downloaded after reformatting

Perhaps this should be posted in the Networking section?

I think it's better to post pictures here instead of making an unboxing video

Definite a no no for me as such purchases are involving thousands of ringgit.Who's going to be liable if the one ordering runs away after receiving the money from fellow forumers?No..we aren't dealing with small money here.There are already enough scam cases in lowyat already

Cain, u're waiting for the GPU refresh?

I'm not sure whether that can be done or not

There are pretty much other good laptops besides SXPS 16 in the 4k region but can't remember them USB3.0 tech is kinda new now...the problem is not the USB 3.0 port but the HDD whether it supports it...iinm only SSDs can support USB 3.0

To be honest here, after owning my SXPS 16 for about a week now...not many laptops can beat the unbelievable package this machine can offer
