the plastic used in sxps16 is hell lot better than the plastic used in my previous compaq V3000

Whenever I'm playing games or doing something that consume a lot of memory, the lappy will go awfully slow, like you can't even highlight the icon in the desktop. I suspect it might be the heat of the laptop. I could only play games with the aircond on. It reduces the heat a lot so the lappy won't go slowwwwww. Any solution? Thanks in Advance.

sound like the heat causing ur processor to underclock itself... get a good cooler to solve it. iirc, HD3670 tend to produce more heat than HD4670

amazing discovery, i found out that dell's inspiron 1520 remote control works on the XPS16, now i have swapped the remote into my XPS, hehehe

y ur inspiron come with remote control 1? my dad inspiron 1440 doesnt have...

How is the performance of the machine so far - i5 and HD 5730?

Dell doesn't provide OS media kit anymore
from the cheapest model to the most expensive model
have to use the recovery discs

i think most of the users in here are using c2d/i5+4670?

what do u mean recovery discs?? u mean os reinstallation dvd??

Yeah, I wanted the actual OS Installation Disc. But no more... they keep saying "make your own Recovery Media" which is useless since we can't do a clean install... isn't it just such a waste since we buy the OS License... any way to get hold of a disc, through Dell or Microsoft?

wait... mean i cant use my reinstallation dvd to do clean install??

The reinstallation dvd is windows disc....
with some makeup from dell....

can just compare the inside with the Jack version...

Yup, since the driver, apps, etc is in different disc...
Get those 3 user 1 pack one? RM199, divide by 3....

what if we accidentally delete the recovery partition that we need to burn ourself??

so u mean the recovery disc is a windows 7 installation disc + dell's apps?

my poor english

Then you have no more means to recover.....

can we like simply use a windows 7 dvd then enter our own cd key to do clean install?

is it the home version or the basic one?
