Reviews look good so far, are all you users happy with yours? After the disaster that was my XPS M1530 (RM6006) with its corroded palmrest, faulty GPU and bad thermal pasting, I'm a little on the hesitant side but I really need a decent laptop as my M1530 has been failing.


What's worse is I have to order it from Malaysia and get it couriered to England. (What a predicament).

I don't know if that's sarcasm or w/e. :/

OH sorry D: I misread it as it was..pretty darn late over there. My apologies, and yes the VAT is a monster, sucking a good RM500. I could courier via FedEx for the same price and have it appear one day later..from Malaysia for the same price.

They do have the option of having a backlit keyboard, however I believe it to be 25 pounds, also more than what you'd pay here (About ~RM55?). Way to swindle their customers. Other reasons being that I MAY get a discount see.

Your thoughts on the rig itself? Good? Bad? As a user I mean. I don't buy those online reviews, all biased.

I have a XPS M1530 son, and the specs are definitely an improvement for price ratio.

I dislike the UK keyboard, and my cousin works in Dell Malaysia, so better option I suppose. Temperature management is a crucial feature to me. If its a huge leap over the M1530 (which gives me like 80c after Arctic Cooling MX-2 applied) I'm all for it.

That depends on the model. Higher end models they may keep one or two. I know they won't bring more than two G series for Asus in at any booth cause realistically not many people want one.

Also I checked with my cousin, not likely to have better specs so soon. You might want to keep waiting or go for it. I'm not too pleased with the GPU but its still a value buy.

Yeah, I contemplated on it and seriously wanted to get it but my dad raged and told me to get a Macbook or no deal. :/

I declined, I refuse to pay RM5~6k (USD$2199) for equal or less with regards to specs.

That's a plus, but I play games. Plus with GW2 coming out, figures why I wouldn't get a MBP.

But they do have the best service in the world that's for sure. I complain on twitter and got a response from Dell Sr. Management in Australia. They helped me and sent a technician to replace my mobo in less than 2 days (all the way in Malaysia)
