Yours Win 7 Home Premium?

yeaa.. home..
lol. just now i got this message "" The AC power adapter type cannot be determined. Your system will operate slower and the battery will not charge"". ><

You can just download the ISO, Windows 7 SP1 x64
http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso
Backup your current certificate or just use your serial key and activate it.

Unplug and plug it back also the same ?

owh so its the same as the media kit ??
thankkyouu..
owh no. it happen only when i plugged in without battery. i restarted it twice, when im plugged in, it show tat notifications

The difference with the media kit, it doesn't have the some customization by Dell, like the Wallpaper, etc. You might want to backup those first before reformat.

No battery, then you start the notebook with adapter only and it show that that notification?

owhh okayy. thx for the infos.
yeaap. yeaa.

So, does the notebook noticeably slower ?
and if you plug in the battery, can it charge ?

The adapter might have problem, better ask for replacement from Dell..

actually still okayy.. no..
i tried tat laterr.. LOL. =O. not even 6month. it spoiled ?? GG

You would need to check the driver one by one from the manufacturer website.
The Dell website usually is outdated one, rarely get update.

where u get the bluray movie? download ?

it's pretty warm in the recent past afternoons and my laptop's temperature is getting pretty crazy :/
it tops at 68c even at idle

Hi All,

I'm looking at the Dell XPS15z.

what do you guys think about this laptop?

I'll be using the laptop for work. and hopefully when im at home, will dock it and use it for gaming. will the Dell XPS 15z suit such a requirement?

The GPU on the 15z is not exactly very good for gaming unfortunately

yeah, after looking at the specs of the MSI's etc.

but the XPS 15z looks awesome. almost like a Macbook Pro

Its 'looks' vs power

Hey guys, I have a little problem here.
Last week, i decided to reinstall windows 7 on my XPS 15 (L501X).
Then I went to Dell's website to download and install the drivers.

But weirdly, the "touchpad lock" button on my keyboard doesn't work.
(this one)




Whenever i try to lock my touchpad, the orange light above the touchpad lights up, but the touchpad DOES NOT lock.
Although disabling the touchpad through Windows Mobility Centre still works.

Any help? I've tried reinstalling dell's Quickset drivers again but it doesn't work

^have you install the touchpad driver ?

i installed the synaptics touchpad driver downloaded from the drivers section on dell's website but the button didn't work.
so i downloaded the latest version from synaptic's official website but it still didn't work
