I'm used this XPS 15 not more than 5hours... but so far, I'm very very very happy with it..Worth it...And almost most important part are metal...That is what I hope to have..And I had played Call of Duty Tier 1 Edition last night for 2 hours..It won't be so hot...likely 50C for the air flow... and CPU reached 82/86C (max) without using cooler..

By the way I'm using i5, 420m, 720p screen..

If you are a gamer, you shouldn't go for FHD screen, althought it really nice.. But it will slow down your FPS in your game, so it won't as smooth as 720p..

If you don't mind, then go for FHD, I hope to have it too, but can't afford and if you want FHD you should have blu-ray too... that will maximize it performance, I mean you then can see how nice it is...

The speaker...AWESOME!!!!When I first open a music, I shocked!!! So nice!!! But it still not so good for gaming, I compared it with headphone.. Headphone have better sound, maybe game's music are surround sound, make it can't perform well enough, but acceptable..

About my headphone, just normal headphone about RM25..It perform very very very well in this laptop compared with my previous laptop..Maybe better sound card? I don't know...

My fan are so quiet, almost inaudible... unlike some user in notebookreview.com, there are quite a number of people complaint about the fans noise...

The fan for my i7 740QM + GT435M is quite noticeable once the cpu load is getting heavy.
I supposed fan noise is more noticeable for i7 + 435M due to greater heat generation.
Other i7 + 435M users please share your thoughts on this. Thanks.

@makubexong
It's well worth the wait the moment you set your hands on it.
The maximum possible discount for Dell products that I know of is Dell employee price.
Dell employee price is very close to cost price.

Other than that it's really dependent on the person that's selling the product.

It will make the fps higher, just blur image..

how blur are we talking about? unplayable blur?

Take a 720p image and enlarged it to 1080p size, that blur..
Still playable blur...

its not calculated like that ... like my config, its around 4.8k .. and end up i paying around +-3.5k ..
the discount is base on the margin and not on overall.

ohh i see so u nego through chat or phone?

staff price

What about Inspiron 15R? Can demand for staff price since it look like promotion price already?
Still can negotiable "9696" with them?
