My experience at the PC fair:

Bought a Lenovo Y550P (which I had to wait more than 2 months for).

No discount. No promotion. Paid extra for warranty.

Only thing is a shiity plastic cooler (RM5 kind), cheap mouse (scroll broke), USB hub (doesn't work), keyboard protector/cover (adhesive wore off - thanks to Lenovo actually - if you remove it then it doesn't stick and its practically useless), LCD screen cleaner fluid (random), headphones (weird, the wires are very screwed up in design, something I've never seen before).

I was REALLY happy with the laptop. Until the 3rd day. Then all the problems happened and I regretted buying it.
I still do. That was Jan/Feb 2010.

Refund - trying - will fix it.


Well when I see these promotions at PC fair you are all getting, I guess it is stupid of the customer to not look for them, and to just impulsively buy a laptop just because of its specs (I did find out about it beforehand but couldn't check it out physically or anything).

Besides, they aren't gonna give you any free upgrade from 4GB RAM. But they didn't give any warranty promotions either.

mine is 4gb Ram and its 7.4 why different ?

Yours 1333MHz?

I think thats the case la.. mine is old C2D running 1066Mhz only...

1066MHz already overkill for C2D

yup myb thats the reason..

wao
consider as high already

tumpang subthread, i already (pre)paid the xps 16 purchase with my credit card installment and receive the item, and also the invoice today. but yet to see the statement appear in my credit card? anyone experience the same?

Guys, wanna ask if we dont want to wait for the laptop to arrive from the factory, can we buy from the Dell outlet in Midvalley or Lowyat? Eyeing the RM4999 i7-740QM to run some VMwares. Waiting for paycheck to purchase.

I thought of walking into the Dell store and buy it, do you think they have stock or anyone knows their contact? Where else has Dell store besides MidValley and Lowyat?

5.9 is the max for 7200rpm HDD... any higher u need HHD or SSD...

btw, i ve 6.5 for RAM... using C2D and DDR2 800MHz...
