Errors:
The I5 CPU is incompatible with 2GB Video card. Please change to 1GB Video Card

swt to MAX!

That's not an "error". Dell USA/UK/Europe/Malaysia deliberately did that so that we can't buy it like that. They even continue to lie about it.

Hell, i5 is compatible with 2GB VRAM, and i7 is compatible with 1GB VRAM. Plenty of laptops being sold like that.

The XPS 15 vent is quite small, maybe because they are near the large speaker vents? XPS 14 and 17 have smaller and further speaker grilles, but relatively larger air vents.

Dell continues to let everyone down. If only SXPS 16 had no leather parts like M1330.

Don't buy XPS!

wa now i only realise xps15 has smaller air vent = =

thanx for the information

if really like that i rather go for studio xps 16

While the keyboard/touch panel design is a bit lame and nothing like M1330/M1530/XPS 16, the aluminium is nice and the vent is at least unobstructed. If they were to offer proper options as they should (which is why we even get Dell in the first place), I'd buy one within a month.

Does anyone know, the SXPS 16 in Malaysia is sold with leather back, no choice right?

The leather match the lid colour...
and yes, there is leather..

Did he means this => http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/p..._15_t510704my~~

but the price is Rm2999??

FP updated the old price is dell.com pricing

What are you on about there's no new or old price. The only thing changed is no more 750GB HDD.

was checking out the specs list for the xps 15..i like the backlit keyboard options..another thing that puzzles me..what is the differnce between the color options? one stated WLAN one stated WWAN? O_O

Different of number of antenna installed?

If I buy online, how much it will cost for shipping to KL(Ampang)??Anyone know??

No shipping cost...

do you think dell SA can give better discount if we deal with them?

There's always a chance..

The old price was based on direct conversion USD850~rm2635, but now dell.com.my has announce at rm2999. I was referring to this thread title.

imo, the new xps design is quite decent... no point to design it as a gaming laptop since they already have AW. yes xps is gaming brand... but kinda no point to have it. I think it more of they want to keep the sxps, and still release a new laptop... because spec and usage wise its very much like the sxps.

And also I never understood why people would put good speakers on a laptop design for home entertainment... i mean, home entertainment, much better to use an external speaker (2.1 configuration)

compared to my old version of my xps 16

the gc part is a bit swt
i5 + 2gb gc = error -.-
indirectly they try to force the customer to buy i7+2gb gc

What does swt mean?

Yeah that's why I'm waiting for them to stop lying, fix that, and if the price remains the same I'll buy it then - oh wait no AMD GPUs will be out then with Sandy Bridge.

Don't Buy XPS!

swt =
