IMHO the range increase is enough to entice me to buy the upgrade.

damn, my laptop is still work in progress since the 5th of dec. the hell is taking them so long??

If you picked the B+RGLED, there is a shortage. Just contacted them, they told me now it'll take at least 3 weeks to build my system.

damn... yeah i did went with that full hd monitor. my edd is 31st dec and i hope they can "honor" that date. thanks for the info.

Not a prob.

Just a thought, so many people are going with the B+RGLED when they're not going to fully utilize it. I can predict that quite a few are going to come onto this thread to complain that text is 'horribly small' on their LCDs.

And when that happens, I am going to laugh.

well...the dvd rom given by dell xps is 8x isit?
why the dvds run so slow @@

IINM 8x is the maximum write speed. There are many reasons why DVDs run slow, one being your DVD is old/faulty/dirty. Try checking your disc first.

I wonder, how come the Blu-Ray drive addon is only RM200+? Shouldn't it be more expensive especially for a laptop?

those hu upgrade to full hd screen wont complain la......since all of u know that edi......the larger the resolution, the smaller the things display.....but then the quality increase as well.....u can set the font size to 125% in windows option......

probably the dvd u use is low quality one.....i have no problem ar.......

haha.. finally i get my lappy~ wat a long week.. 1st impression, the design actually not bad.. normal application performance is great.. will test the gaming performance soon.. =) anyways.. it is a great laptop.. very happy to own it..

core i5 or core i7 package?

Yeah loh, same here. I am not complaining either. Instead, I'm loving it!

ya...my dvd was "ahem" one...and full of scratches

Price dropping due to demand & supply? No idea, but good point.

I heard that Google Chrome doesn't follow suit and renders text pretty much unreadable (too small).

HAHA. There we go, the culprit. Scratches.

ya most of the browser u nid to zoom in ur self when u open the browser for the 1st time.....i do that to my pc with 1920x1080p screen

yaa... bt erm....IIMN dvd fastest nt 16x mea?

Ah, I see. I've been stuck with 1200x800 & 1366x768 for quite a while, never experienced Full HD before

The 16x 8x is about write speed, IIRC. Fast, but it produces bad quality CDs. I usually burn at 2x or 4x to ensure that the files go in smoothly without getting corrupted.

It doesn't affect read speeds. And even if you have a 24x DVD drive, having a scratched CD will render the speed useless. That's why sometimes CD cannot be read, etc.

While trying to find a solution for my USB mouse which sometimes does not get detected automatically upon boot (I have to unplug and replug it in once Windows has fully started) using the eSata/USB2 port, I came across as option labeled "Virtualization" in the BIOS and it's set to enabled by default.

Anyone knows what is this for?

That's to enable Intel VT (Virtualization Technology)
Only useful if you run virtual machines using VMWare Player or VirtualBox

Hmm.. since we don't use that, wonder if disabling it will improve performance, however little. Anyway, after playing around with BIOS and power options, I still have to reconnect my mouse almost every time. Using the non-eSata/USB 2 ports solves the issue. Looks like I'll have to use one of those ports.
