hello..

just wanna ask..why when i'm doing the online customization on xps16 i got difference price..

there is two option for i5 for xps16 i5430 and i5520...but i upgraded the 430 to 520 plus 5650 for the two xps16..

the difference is huge, about RM200+/-..anyone can explain bout this..i have included the RM100 instant cash redemption in the calculation for the 430 ones but still more cheaper..

might considering xps16..can u guys recomend me on the customization...

what is the recommended warranty option...2 years, 3 years??..dell care plus?? xps premier service??...do these two type of warranty have where the technician come to your house if any problem arises???...

which is better buying online, through the phone, or direct go to dell shops???

sorry for the questions, first time considering dell laptop...do you all experience many problem with it??? or smooth sailing one??

hello..sorry to bother all of you...

i'm in the midst of buying laptops n looking the xps16 as a potential..i hope to get a bit explanation bout the heat of the studio xps16...is the heat generated are that high???..i've read and see some of u have audio software prob resulting in computer freezing, is there any other prob???
i know these two prob have their solution...

my usage is gaming(2-3 hours a day myb), work, assignment, solidwork, autocad...is the xps16 can handle it..
i have test my specs..i5520,ati5650,4g ram, 500gb hdd, 3 year xps & 3 complete cover, win7 premium...and accumulated to Rm 5k...

i see that u all recommend to nego with the SA...i tried and got RM 4.7k + free MS Office..is that a good bargain???..can i change the MS Office with bag or myb more reduce price (for more reduce price i think difficult)...

u should close the deal asap~rm300 discount + MS office rm275= rm575 consider very good offer from that SA,
and dont forget upgrade your battery to 9cell since u like gaming
*
i think i don't need the 9 cell battery..as i live in the uni hostel..if i even brought the laptop out i will on not more than 1 hour and not gaming...

hope to hear more from my SA later but forgot that esok cuti..Wesak Day doh.gif

for the i5 specs of xps16..do i need to change to the 130w adapter???...

if 90w adapter is sufficient already, if i take the 130w adapter will it harm my laptop??? coz of too much wattage

should be good enuf, considering that i5 is only 35W...

using higher wattage PSU is fine... but not the other way round...

your area lightning really scary !

@astria
Belkin which model ?
*
for me there is this theory i use...

if u see the lightning, but the lightning sound interval comes in 2~4 seconds later...u r safe to use it for a while
but if the lightning strike and the lightning sound comes at the same time or just a second interval..better off and unplug...

below 1 second, the lightning is near to your house area, and its probability of striking your house is high... sweat.gif

after 2 seconds and above, can play but be mindful...

this is because, light travel faster than sound...

been doing this, and no problem occur..hope in the future also safe..

do you guys know what is this...

Ctl 1st LTO 1 --->this appears in my chosen specs summary(lower cost, refer below)

this is the only difference in the same specs i choose but price varies

with bolded sentence above it cost 5115k (already add RM100 bcoz of instant cash redemption) -> this is on the i5(i5430) where the basic specs cost 4099
with no bolded sentence cost 5274k -> this is on the i5 (already i5520) where the basic specs cost 4599

the one is changed is i5430 to i5520, hd5650 (both), and 3 year warranty(both)
