Hey guys, do u think the current XPS 16 promo (RM2999) is worth it?

Honestly I'm only afraid that in future that the spare parts for this model finished/EOL since it's old tech.. (I think it's fine for processor & GPU not up to date)

Is it true that if under warranty & laptop beyond repair, dell will refund the $$ to buy dell product?

My configuration would be..

Alpine White 15.6 " 1080p WUXGA (1920x1080) WLED Full HD Display with 2MP cam
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz/ 1066 FSB/ 3MB Cache)
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit (English)
4GB (2 X 2GB) Dual Channel 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
320GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
3-year XPS Premier Service with 3-year CompleteCover
1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670
6-Cell (56WHr) Li-Ion Primary Battery

RM3763 after RM200 redemption
RM3613 if add RM150 coupon

Pls advise

hey Evo.. u opted for a 3 year warranty?? Wondering if 2 years is sufficient if I got for the Rm2999 one coz this lappie isn't that future proof right? @@"

u purchased on9 or thru SA?

oh I see.. future proof ar~ well this laptop specs is like a year++ ald.. jz wondering if the specs could last me for 2-3 years time in terms of normal laptop usage plus light-med gaming.. possible right? @@"

reso as low as? 1024 X 768?

parts and labour? Which option is that?

3-Year Dell Care Premium [add RM 807.00 or RM 67/month-1]
3-year XPS Premier Service with 1-year CompleteCover [add RM 563.00 or RM 47/month-1]
3-year XPS Premier Service with 3-year CompleteCover [add RM 630.00 or RM 53/month-1]

Did anyone answer the difference between dell care premium and XPS premier service + CCover??

Hi Astria,

I'm placing my order tmr. Anyway, why did u delete the recovery partition? bloatware? or r u saying u reformatted?

Think I'll be getting this lappie in 2-3 weeks time so I wanna know wat should I do with it 1st @@"
