Steam should not have a problem on Win7.. hmm..

does anyone know of any place that sells the xps/has demo units
its sooo tempting but i would like to see it in reality before getting one

u can get 1 from dell, and use it for few days, if u dont like, just return to them, they will come to ur house and pick up from u. Full refund as well ^^

The xps has great specs... (at that price) If only it was better designed... sigh...

great spec?

imho SXPS 16 is a better choice.... unless u absolutely need Full HD + quad core for less than rm4k...

Great specs at that price?

It appears slightly cheaper only because its specs are lower. You need RM411 to get 1080p B+RGLED, and the GPU is inferior to HD 5730 anyway. Tray loading Optical DD... shall I go on?


LOL Putochip I can't take that risk - sometimes they will charge re-shipping fee or repackaging fee unless there's a problem (cosmetic or hardware issue). If there was something wrong then they shouldn't charge anything.

LoL you need a valid reason to return?

so easy ka ?

Here is the conversation between me and dell:

11/08/2010 04:07:59PMSession Started with Agent (Ross_Chan)
11/08/2010 04:08:05PMAgent (Ross_Chan): "Welcome to Dell Sales Chat, your total solution for computer systems and peripherals. My name is Ross_Chan. I will be your personal sales agent today. How can I help you?"
11/08/2010 04:08:06PMCasper Yap: "hi"
11/08/2010 04:08:38PMCasper Yap: "what is the diffrence between XPS and Inspiron warranty?"
11/08/2010 04:14:25PMAgent (Ross_Chan): "XPS offer 24 hours phone support and standard bundle with 1 year complete cover warranty. (cover for accidental damage)."
11/08/2010 04:15:40PMCasper Yap: "oic"
11/08/2010 04:15:59PMCasper Yap: "i have booked my XPS 15 on saturday"
11/08/2010 04:16:09PMCasper Yap: "what is the estimated date for my order?"
11/08/2010 04:21:59PMAgent (Ross_Chan): "delivery will be 3 weeks upon payment confirm as we are having some part shortage for this model."
11/08/2010 04:26:02PMCasper Yap: "will i receive any notification once payment confirmed by dell?"

Looks like you didn't accomplish a lot. But usually that is how it ends (with them), even when over the phone.

their reply was so slow....and suddenly the session ended =.=...
can do ntg bout tat though.....but he/she is claiming tat my lappy will reached only aft 3weeks...omg tat was a long period.....

and...erm...isit when the dell deliver to my house, i must present? my family cant take it for me?

ur family can help u to pick up 1. the day u recieve ur laptop they will sms u, or 3 days before u recive ur laptop assume is nearly weekend d(thursday u will recive sms and tell u that monday u will get laptop)

Dell also claimed Alienware laptop arrived after 2 weeks but most of us received the item within 10 days.

anyone that related to you is okay. identification card's number is needed to claim the item.

not really IC needed, before the delivery wanna reach ur home, they will call u, and u can tell that delivery guy that ur mother or father or brother or sister will help u to pick up

oic.... thx alot ya ^^ .... tat means i do no need to send it to my office ^^

yup, you are right?

ic...some of my frds also saying tat.. thx...hopefully it will arrive soon

i second that indeed sxps 16 is way better but financial wise. go for xps 15 hehe

Of cos sxps 16 is good , amazing design and greater specs.. but the RM500 did make significant impact to some's budget..therefore..js go for XPS15

XPS Studio 16 is more solid and better spec as well ^^
