Attached thumbnail(s)

I meant which component gives the lowest sub score with i7's Windows Experience Index.

Btw, congrats on receiving your lappy. How long did it take you from order date?

Added on November 24, 2010, 5:42 pmOhh.. just what I wanted, thanks. Which Dell store did you go to? I thought Dell does not have stores?

Hmm... looking at the scores, even if you choose SSD, your score will still be limited by RAM.

20sec with win 7 startup animation.
10-12sec without the animation..

i still waiting for mine.....gratz for those hu get their dell xps 15 edi...mine still in work in progress i hope mine wont be delayed

doesnt tht void the warranty?

Care to share a screenshot of the detail for your Windows Experience Index?

I think his WEI should be around 6.7, 5.9, 4.4, 6.5, 5.9

ya..sumthin like that.... my XPS da temp is quite hot ler...nt warm.... y an i5 hotter than i7 ??

and what is the temp ?

actly.... me nw findin da software to detect the gpu and cpu temp accurately =)

HWMonitor should do fine..

Hmm so for processor rating, i5 is 6.7 and i7 is 7.1. Just .4 difference only.
