Actually i bought it through the call centre.... Mine is RM4199 for all that... i really had to push the call centre guy to get me this deal... i thought the upgrade of the 9 cell and warranty was essential cause as it is the i7 consumes more battery and it doesnt have OPTIMUS so the 6cell is not gonna last very long and the 3 year warranty i put in cause damn scared if anythin happens down the line... the keyboard backlight + McAfee 3 years are free..and i would like to correct bout the RM200 discount actually i was mistaken, as if, i add those earlier things then it is a discount la... but without its not...

That's quite unbelievable, nearly RM1000 discount. Impossible.

Warranty is 699, starting base price is 3499. 640GB upgrade costs too.

Warranty is extra important.

My old Dell laptop (shipped July 04, used since Jan 05) just ~died, and I realised warranty was only till 07. But of course, a new laptop must at the very least have 2 yrs on it. My new Dell desktop had a year on it (but it had multiple problems on the first day/week itself).

Sometimes they are assembled in haste and this is usually the cause. With mass production, their quality control is reasonable, and perhaps I was unlucky.

Tell us more about your laptop when it arrives

With 3 years, you're safe if anything happens. People do sometimes get their Studio XPS 1645/47s or M1530s and M1730s replaced by Alienwares. The less-savvy customer may get a Studio 17.

ic~ i din know order throught call centre can bargain the price le.. maybe i can try it out.. hehe..

but yesterday one of my fren tell me about this info..
Dell XPS 15 ( i7-740QM, 2gb GT 435M , 4GB Ram, 640GB, 3 years complete cover warranty) RM3349

im doubt abt that, how he able to found out this deal.. i asked him, still waiting his reply.. 

dell totally don care about us Malaysian.... i ordered before those ppl in US and UK (27th Oct) but they got their xps already.. now my EDD is 6th Dec!..
sumore no discount coupon, no nothing.. wut the hell dell??!!

Seriously, Dell Malaysia is definitely lacking of choice and lower down their own sale only...
Last time, no Inspiron or Studio 17. Somemore, i waited for Dell Streak(an Android phone) for 1 whole years already also no news. It will be no doubt that the newly launched Venue Pro(WP7 phone) will never reach Malaysia. If they launch as the price as in Dell US, SGS and HTC will have no chance to compete at all.

Is that they ignore Malaysia because of small market/demand or what?

LOL then Inspiron or Studio 17?
Although there is no much ppl like 17'' out there but at least if they provide it here, they will certainly dominate the 17'' market in Malaysia(now only Vostro 3700 ).

many msian will js rush for the "trend" iphone 4....   the hype

haha. i agree with tht 

when it comes to technology, we malaysians only get the leftovers from those western countries.. n they sell it with higher price!
if they thing the market here is small, its better they don sell/promote here at all.. rather than making us wait for it and disappoint us... it sucks man~~ 

but somehow luckily we r still being left bhind nt by a thousand miles ahead....unlike car industry   
erm..one q out of the XPS topic... is our laptop pc being charged by tax? cos whn i made payment to my XPS 15 i saw the govt tax is 0.... due to the PM new budget plan?

LOl....well...hp envy 17??
i guess is due to 17" in Msia is still nt a trend?    or profit low.... js my guess
