Yup, text and stuff would appear smaller, but not Windows 7 icons or anything Windows related because Windows high DPI awareness automatically adjust and enlarge the text size for you. You can even set up your applications to be DPI-aware so that their text and icons don't appear too small or eye straining.

As for web browsing, you can use magnification. On IE I have the magnification set to 125%. On Chrome at 120% for this forum.

For me, 1080p's pros far outweighs its cons. Plus I have Blu-Ray Rom and enjoy FHD so yeah.

Added on December 20, 2010, 3:32 pmAgain I don't know how great an issue this is but some people are complaining about oversaturation on RGBLED. See: http://www.google.com.my/#hl=en&q=RGBLED+oversaturated
So since we can't have the best screen without possible oversaturation, isn't B+RGLED a great compromise since it's better than WLED?
Also, if I'm not mistaken RGBLED uses more power.

Oh and I thought you had already got your laptop. ^^;

Nice! i got a txt from Dell this morning mine will be delivered on Wednesday. Susah duduk JB coz they need a longer trip.

anyone bought the xps15 form dell using easy installment scheme? or got another shop that offering easy installment scheme? planning to get one

I think I paid for it using a 0% instalment scheme, can't remember which one, or whether I used instalment or lump sum. Nevertheless, what is it that you need help with?

planning to buy xps 15 once my credit card approved. this is the one i've planned to 'sambar'



1. i've unclick the installation, which mean i have to do the installation or what?
2. the easy scheme thingy, are we paying additional payment to the bank? eg RM347/month, i will pay 347 a month?

sorry if the question is a bit noobies

Well apparently i tested a few games on the XPS 15. Here are my specs:

i7 turbo boost up to 2.93ghz
Nvidia Gt435m
6gb Ram
1080p screen

So the games that i played which are quite smooth are:
Gta IV-Medium-High settings
Section 8 - High
NFS Hot Pursuit - High
MW2 and BO - Automatic-High settings
Unreal Tournament - High
SC2 - Medium-High
Transformers War For Cybertron - High
Counter-Strike Source - High
I get an average of around 30+fps from the settings above. And I ran autoCAD 2010, Microsoft Words, Adobe Photoshop CS4 all at once and apparently no lag spikes or heating whatsoever. Guess the 6gbs of ram was quite worth the money. Definitely a great mainstream laptop to whoever is thinking of purchasing it

IMO, with 6GB, u can run more than that haha, maybe Words + CS4 + autoCAD + Starcraft 2 + Counter-Strike Source? can try

Tell you what, call their call center. Or I can refer a salesperson to you if you want. Easier compared to the site.

It is expected. Enjoy your baby

sure. thanks man!

Plus, i get bored listening to the in-game music, so most of the time i would open media player classic and make a long playlist of shows like HIMYM and Two and a half men and just minimize it and listen to it while playing games. No lag whatsoever

My point is that without having memory of same density, dual channel is still available in the form of either Intel Flex Mode or Asynchronous Dual Channel.
It might not be as fast as Synchronous Dual Channel but still it's better than single channel.

I can't confirm that whether XPS 15 mobo supports it but if it's available potential buyers who're short on budget may consider the 6GB RAM upgrade.
Surely, there're lots of alternatives but I'm just pointing out that Intel Flex Mode or Asynchronous Dual Channel is one of them.

Ultimately, it's the buyer to decide whether they'd go for Synchronous or Asynchronous Dual Channel.

If u want extra ram, is better to buy from 3rd party IMO. 4GB only costs RM298. based on following topic. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1070145

Hi all XPS owner, i'm planning to get XPS14 but i found that it doesn't come with VGA port where i need to plug into projector sometimes.

Anyway, is anyone here tried using 2 converters at same time ( HDMI->DVI, then DVI->VGA ) ??

Or shall i just purchase a mini display->VGA converter?? BTW, it cost much higher (RM99 @ Mac centre.. )

can XPS be bought at LYP?
??huhu

Don't buy from Mac City/Machines/Epicentre. LOL. They overcharge like hell for accessories. Take a little time off, go to Digital Mall and save yourself 60%-70% of the price for cables.

ya i do the same thing no lag even on core i5 package....

4gb onli around rm 190

i can buy mini-display to vga

i saw it both xps 14 and 15 available at all it hyperstore at lowyat last week...
