QUOTE(Eugene91 @ Oct 21 2010, 08:52 PM) How come it doesn't have the elegance of the previous SXPS? it looks like an Inspiron >.< Also note the pricing, lower than SXPS16. Almost similar to Studio 15. Is it a good thing? Really curious about the JBL subwoofer cos usually only available at >rm3000~4000 system.

QUOTE(LightningFist @ Oct 21 2010, 09:05 PM) You can't say the price is lower. But for basic gamer GT420M is good enough, my 4741G using that GPU, very satisfied, plus the price with JBL subwoofer, no other competitors can match it.The price you mentioned is for GT420M and i5-460M only. This is Before GT435M + i7, Backlit Keyboard, Bluetooth, Full HD screen. Those features are Already included in Studio XPS 16. Added on October 21, 2010, 9:06 pmWe have been discussing it here, although it should probably be renamed to Dell XPS / Studio XPS http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...0#entry37207023 |

QUOTE(LightningFist @ Oct 21 2010, 09:14 PM) Let me tell you something I've used JBL Subwoofer on a laptop it is terribly soft and of poor quality. One certainly does not need to be charged a huge amount for it. Ok. |

After looking at the XPS 15 specs and pricing, I am so glad I din buy Lenovo Y460, the pricing is so close. Feels like selling my 4741G for this one.

QUOTE(tenitabang @ Oct 22 2010, 03:10 PM) this xps 15 or acer 4820tg..which one do u prefer? Go get the XPS 15, it is newer, has JBL subwoofer, not many laptops at this price range has it, used to need rm4799 like the Lenovo Y560. Plus the Nvidia GT420M is totally ok for current games. It also has Optimus for longer battery life. Anodised aluminium casing. All perfect specs |

QUOTE(LightningFist @ Oct 22 2010, 04:58 PM) Ok, yeah, since GT 420M is like GT 335M, I suppose this is an alternative to the Acer and Asus laptops below RM3000 with 14 inch screens. But then again we were expecting something equal or better to XPS 16, that is the main point. But Dell never allow their own product to compete with each other, look at the inspirons, all low end GPU only. |

QUOTE(LightningFist @ Oct 22 2010, 05:39 PM) Soup did you miss the part where "XPS will be replacing Studio and Studio XPS"? Ok means Dell made a wrong move? Still the specs look ok to me, right?And did you know Alienware has/had the same GPU as Studio XPS 16? It's not products competing against each other. The main point is to sell any and all products. Since many will agree to an extent ATI/AMD GPU > Nvidia Geforce this was a bad mistake by Dell. |

QUOTE(LightningFist @ Oct 23 2010, 05:16 PM) What are you on about there's no new or old price. The only thing changed is no more 750GB HDD. 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. |

I think what the JBL subwoofer do is to make the sound louder and clearer, definitely not the "boom" "boom" "boom" like in normal subwoofer.
