sheit. i hate wait game. and i also hate the fact that if I get my dell now, waiting for 2-3 weeks can get the upgraded GC...

but nevermind that. m11x is here at dell website ed... argh...

lucky you, mine pushed back... care to share your spec?

dell called, coz got part shortage, it should reach me 6/2 but now they said i have to wait till 12/2.

mine is the lowest i5 config, the only upgrade i add is 9cell battery.

lucky you, i ordered early feb, grand total of rm4303. should i extend my warranty?

most of the picture of dell XPS in the net is from dell website, I cant seem to find any alternative pic. can someone show us more pics?

can ubat my loneliness also. hope I can get mine before 12/2... *sigh*

thanks, is the one with i-series processor and ATi4670 have the same design as the P-series and ATi3670?

is there any changes to the design?

I think the processor dont have much different TDP coz the core i-series and the C2D series have diff fabrication, let me search for a while....

thx kytz, really appreciated.

screen looks awsome. haha.

after search, I see that P-series have at most 25W TDP, Tseries 35W, compared to i5 and i7 mobile have the most 35W TDP.

so, in general, the TDP doesnt change as much. I can safely say that dell doesn't need to redesign, but If they can improve, then why not?

guys, i wanna know, is the new dell uses this design at the back? whare 1 big hole for all parts.

this is the example pic:

i should be specific about my question. sorry.

what I want to ask is, is the new dell studio xps 16 (with i5/i7, chipset PM55/HM55, ATi4670) still uses this design?

the best candidate is ATi 5770. looking back from xps timeline, dell seems like to use the XT part of GPU.

xps 15 series used 8600GT, then upgrade to 3670 (M86XT) then 4670 (M96XT). the best candidate is using madison-XT chip, which is 5770 or 5750.

really suffice, but nowdays RPG itself have lots of games. new RPG sure is berat one. but for 2-3 years, I think its ok.

I play RTS a lot, so to speak. my 4570 is too underpowered to run anything with med settings. now have to cope with low settings. haha.

agree with you kytz. as long as you take care of your unit well, it will serve you well also. few OCs, heavy games wont hurt much. but if you plan to play games heavily, i would suggest a desktop.

Like mine, I plan to do a full skin cover/guard. Know any product that specifically caters this? I know InvisiShield for Handphones/smartphones.

xplain more, and where is the kiosk? the one beside the escalator?
I would like to cover as much as possible, as I've paid a good amount of money for this XPS. skinning is the last option.

from zagg eh? seen them, but I prefer if I could buy in Malaysia first.

the throttling issue, I think dell is releasing new power brick and new BIOS for that, as what I've read in outside forum. norebookreviu i think.

Added on February 9, 2010, 10:44 pmprocessor. It is that when we use the 4 cored i7, the power is not within the 90W limit the power brick support, so the processor itself will limit the power usage by tuning down the multiplier. and the result, from usual 1.6GHz dropped to 933MHz. huge loss.

to use the 130W adapter, the BIOS must be correct also, if not, the XPS motherboard just draws 90W worth of power

if no parts shortage, 1 week at most.

lol. the only customization I did was to replace the default 6 cell battery for 9cell battery, and the delivery was pushed from 6/2 to 12/2. it also depends on stock, not case of default or not.... haih~

guys, I usually used the Jack Sparrow version of Win 7 ultimate. now by deciding to opt for dell, I notice it have ori windows 7 home premium. from what I read, Remote Desktop Connection only client version only. can somebody confirm this? I really used a lot of RDP, sometimes from my desktop to my laptop, vice versa.

if cant have RDP, I might reformat the dell to install my Jack Sparrow ultimate. or anyone knows any bypass or hack?

i have the same idea as you defectivelasagna, guys know what we have to pay to extend the warranty? dont have much money at that time to extent to full 3 years warranty.
