uhm is there a way to close the cover of my lappy without making it to sleep mode ?

Go to Control Panel - Power Option, on the left, choose "What do to when closing the lid" then change it to do nothing instead of sleep...

thanks for your help chould move my lappy easily now

Sent him the email this afternoon, right after my previous post in this thread. Until now no reply yet. WTH? Doesn't seem keen to do business with me.

Got connected with Quinn_Ooi second time round. My "experience" with her was brief and didn't even get a quote from her... After i told her the specs i wanna upgrade, didn't get any reply from her... until finally got disconnected by the system.

Am i doing this wrong, or is it just my unlucky day today?

Today's streamyx line is I do get disconnected a couple of times in the chat system.Do give her an email

One thing, do remember to check with Dell about the hard drive partitioning..I think by default, all goes to C

@kytz

I'll do that. I'm assuming her email add would be Quinn_Ooi [at] dell.com yes?

is there a way i change my media key to marco function key ? or i need a 3rd party software to do that ?

Check the power plan advanced settings.Else what plan are you currently on?Power saver or Balanced?

There you can see max processor speed.....GPU(battery saving or high performance)....set all to max

thanks dint notice that there is a advanced setting ~

Hey guys, did you notice that the Dell Studio XPS 16 with the CPU Core i7 is not available for online customization? It indirectly indicates that the new GPU refresh is going to come very soon?

ah... posting from australia here using my XPS 16... long time no visit this thread edi.
btw, my room in aus is dusty as hell . bad thing for my xps... tonnes of dust on it now.
oh, using xps 16 in msia on a flat wooden table is prolly not a great idea...
coz even in australia temperature, i can feel the heat of the laptop thru the wood... approx 2.5cm thick wood.... sad sad

Studying in Australia must be pretty nice This laptop does get hot but do get a cooler

What's the temperature now?Hopefully won't be that bad when i'm going over lol

i can feel ur pain too. my current table is wood too i feel so much better when i put in on my glass table in my living room.

Lol... Every little change on the Dell website seems to indicate the refresh, since i dunno, MONTHS ago? Haha...

Hopefully this time its the real deal

Got this from NotebookReview forum

What BIOS mod?

Using HD5770 will yet again justify Studio XPS 16's position as the top contender in the RM4K price range

So does it mean an upgrade in the specs? If yes then I should wait till it upgrades xD before buying...

Oh BTW how do you all access to the chat function with the Dell SA? Cant seem to find a link to their chat system...

An upgrade to HD5000 series GPU is almost inevitable Do wait for it as the upgrade from HD4670 would be huge jump

Chat function icon is located at the right hand side of the page.Look under "Purchase Help"

Hope this helps

Edit:The links seem to be corrupted

About time. I'm already starting to lose my sanity waiting for it to happen.

@Everyone else who's patiently and about-to-go-insane-ly waiting for the refresh
How do you guys go through each and everyday without madly refreshing Dell's website in hopes of an update? XDXDXD

@kytz
