oh man ! i was 3 days ealier ...... if i buy it yesterday i have full HD options

Ahh, 10 days already, still working in progress =X

HUZZAH!!!!



Still 11 days away, but crossing my fingers!

Why shipping so long one? Haih, sad. What time did you place your order?

Looks like I really have a long time to wait. Cantonese: yau pai dang.

I ordered mine on the 4th of December. I read in the original XPS thread, someone mentioned that the shipping date is just an estimate, so there's a possibility that I might get it earlier than the 28th. Here's hoping

Darn. Looks like I seriously have a long wait to go.

Anyway, from what I've read on the Dell site, and from the CC person, the delay was because of the B+RGLED. Maybe since yours is already built, it won't take a long time. I'm expecting pictures from fellow XPS owners somehow, I can never get tired of staring at pictures of the to-be-new-laptop. LOL.

I ordered mine on 7th of December without B+RGLED, till now it's still working in progress =(

So exactly how long does the order take?

once reached main hub then u will be in 3 to 4 days......

call them if it takes too long......probably the screen agn

2 to 3 week based on parts availability...

Unrelated to the topic discussed here, has anybody tried installing Hackintosh on this laptop?

Now I know that Hackintosh is most likely 'pirated' and 'illegal' but some of us DO have original retail DVDs, so I take it as discuss-able. So please don't start trolling around with smart-ass comments, thanks. Serious discussion.

logically speaking, i think it can be installed although no one did it yet. but finding the drivers that are compatible with mac os/snow leopard might be a handful

i used to install it on my old hp dv2..thi xps 15 not sure.....but im very sure that nvidia and sound not working.....unless u have similiar hardware with those mac one or else it wont work...

js notice one thing...whn i oced my gt420m using evga precision, my xps will rev up the fan even it was idling...so whn idle i gt around 40C ....

precaution step to prevent overheat? hmmm

Its because when you overclock it, the GT420M will constantly run at that speed, without lowering it clocks when idle as it should be, hence the fan sound....

naiz! i checked just now and it reached the hub today hopefully next week can get!

i will be doing an unboxing pictars here, hope you guys are not sick of it yet

Would you void your warranty by overclocking using evga precision?

mine still shipping from factory but my delivery date is around 23 dec. Maybe ur location is far from KL?

erm...i think wont ba..

Added driver download page for ur XPS at 1st pose........

1) i7 & nVidia 435M or i5 & nVidia 420M?

An extra RM 500 can get you:

i5-460M to i7-740QM,
nVidia 420M to 435M,
500GB to 640GB storage

Is it worth it? And also, will it consume more battery power? I personally feel that it's a bit of an overkill.

2) 720p screen or 1080p screen?

I've calculated. The 720p screen would give the laptop of about 100 DPI. the 1080p screen would be 140+ DPI. Is the 1080p screen worth the RM 411? And how will the screen affect gaming, and videos?

3) 6 cell battery or 9 cell battery?

More battery power is certainly welcomed, the extra RM 103 shouldn't be stopping it. But the 9 cell gives the laptop an elevation. Good or bad?

4) 4GB, 6GB or 8GB RAM?

I'll be using the laptop for college. I play casual games like FIFA, and maybe some FPS and Warcraft. Am certainly not a hardcore gamer. Please advise.
