Hmmm , this is something I find it abit weird.. What do you guys think? I7-720QM more expensive or the I5-430M more expensive? LOL

I found out that by upgrading I5-430M to I7-820QM takes only around 1.1 k + in studio 14
While for the rest like studio 15 and xps 16.. upgrading from I7-720QM to I7-820QM cost around 1.2k +

If you see from the I5-520M to I7-820QM.. it cost only around 800+ for the upgrade.
Which concludes I7-720QM is cheaper than the I5-430M and even I5-520M.. Hmmmm... Was thinking of getting I7 instead.. oh well.. shall observe first.

Not really, they just want to squeeze more money from best sales notebook

@outLife

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....

Enjoice while you can before the battery starts to wear off Mine still collecting dust in my drawer

same here ^^ but i dont really trust those number...

not so sure maybe the speaker cone is held in place at the front and the back of the speaker problem. If one of these holders rips or comes unglued it allows the cone to travel too far and the form for the voice coil will bottom out and slam against the magnet causing the speaker to make buzz sounds.

your set still under warranty better let them fix up

but that dell fellow , change both of my new speaker. and reinstall the driver and taking out the subwoofer. And now the problem still occurs . im not sure whether he knows the problem ZzZzZ. im really quite frustrated about my laptop, sound quality is so bad. everytime i play music, for sure im able to hear the buzz sound at the backgroud. ZzZ
I feel like asking them give me a new unit, i had this problem since the day i got my laptop. Really not satisfied lor until today like im using it 3 weeks only.

Try to call Dell again.This time test the new speakers in front of the technician and tell him exactly what's the problem.If problem persists,ask them to change another set

Btw, sorry to hear of your speaker problem.At the mean time, use external speakers first

yup i told him already, he himself also heard it and he help me reinstall my driver , check the system and even calling the dell technical assistant to assist him also. ZzZz Like quite a serious matter. Before he go back, the sound was okay. then later i off my laptop, i turn on again. the problem occurs again. ZzZzZ .
Seems like he cant find out whats the extact problem also, he open my laptop twice you know ZzZ. still like that. Sigh

Try asking them to give you a new unit if u don't mind

Btw, have u tested on headphone/external speakers or earphones?

would u mind to tell me which is the volume u put and what song u listening? i want to check mine too

yeah, tested the external speaker. is clear. The dell fellow also test using external he said its okay. ZzZz but my laptop speaker.. charm. ZzZzZz
No point they keep coming to my place fix like this. like im buying a faulty unit with problem that cant be solve. Thats why i want to request them to give me a new unit. dont know whether is possible.

Well in the first place, their unit is faulty..not your fault..If they refuse, ask to speak to their manager-there's no way Dell can allow their customers to have a faulty unit

yup , already check the latest bios. Haihs , dont know what to do. i need to call dell again.

Hi all,

XPS 16 core i5 with ATI HD4670 1G
and Vostro 3700 Core i7 with Geforce GT 330M 1G

The price is same rm4199, which want should i choose.
I like the design of XPS 16, how about the strength, compare Geforce vs ATI.

SXPS 16 still better, unless you really need the quad core...
1080p screen, SXPS 16 wins
GPU, SXPS 16 wins
