@schwarzschild: Yup, it's max at 4457 (inclusive of the RM10 DVD media... Dell is getting more evil nowadays).

QUOTE(schwarzschild @ Nov 19 2010, 09:13 AM) @J.J: Ahaha, it is good to get a DVD media. If you want faster startup time, better reinstall windows 7 and install only necessary drivers, Dell quickset, and webcam software. Make sure you have created factory restore discs (2 DVDs required) before format your laptop Thanks for the advice.Personally, if the startup time isn't really that bad, prefer not to reformat. My youngest bro recently bought Vostro 3400 isn't really that bloated, the overall startup consider acceptable for me. Lets see how bloated Dell factory OS installation can be for XPS 15. |

QUOTE(thieflord @ Nov 27 2010, 09:34 PM) sandy bridge cores arent much different compared to arrandale cores.. for mobile cores of course The true benefit of Sandy Bridge is actually its i7 quad cores variants.but for desktops its a huge difference, so there's no harm getting arrandale cores i mean if u compare arrandale cores with sandy bridge cores, take i5 540m which is clocked at 2.53 and turbo to 3.06, the closest sandy bridge core to the arrandale 1 is i5 2520m which is 2.5 at basic speed and 3.2 turbo (only 0.6 ghz faster) and i5 2540 2.6/3.3 turbo doesnt make much of a difference and plus, new = expensive however for the i7 models, sandy bridge is significantly faster compared to arrandale but the cons is faster = hotter i'd prefer a cooler i5 arrandale than wait my life for expensive new sandy bridge cores.. and if u hate xps 15, why are u even here? They have the same rated TDP of 45 watts as Clarksfield i7 but that rated TDP actually includes an integrated graphics sub system as well. Therefore, Sandy Bridge quad cores can work without having to rely on discrete graphics which is a great boost in battery life for mobile quad core computing. |

QUOTE(farisiylia @ Dec 1 2010, 07:28 PM) I ordered mine on the 29th, its only been 3 days and im already itching for it. Plus, dell says it may take UP TO 3 days to give me an estimated delivery date. It has been 3 days, still nothing Cool, you and I ordered on the same day And, my status is still work in progress. I guess my EDD will only be available on 6th Dec since Sat and Sun is weekend. Unless miracle happens on Friday. Really looking forward to getting the XPS.

Complete Cover - warranty option that covers even accidental damages. e.g. water spilled on the laptop.
Without that the warranty will only cover manufacturer defects. For example, 3-year XPS Premier Service with 1-year CompleteCover - So within the 1st year, you will enjoy the benefit of warranty coverage for both manufacturer defects and accidental damages. 2nd year onwards, you only get the coverage of manufacturer defects. 3-year XPS Premier Service with 3-year CompleteCover - You will enjoy the benefit of warranty coverage for both manufacturer defects and accidental damages for full 3 years.
