Hmm... Price-wised it's a bit expensive if u compare to current SB laptops...

Entry specs already 1k USD, around rm3200 if it hits our shore I am guessing.. it's only a dual core SB and 525M

thats why i straight uninstalled mcafee when i get my xps...get something like norton internet security 2011 or nod32 smart security 4...

hmm. my xps 15's 90W power cord buzzes abit - does anyone has this problem?

lousy QC? can call to replace? lol

I'm guessing you're guessing wrong. I think anything costing USD1000 there will start at RM3499/3599 here...

Those Americans are already buying it - and they have XPS 17 in the UK already. We might get it within a week (with not as many options).

have to remember. USD is at all time low now against RM. That might help reducing the price...

make sure the wire from the 3-pin plug is connected properly to the adapter

press it(connector) until it is close to the adapter

chances are you might still hear the noise but only when you place the connector closer to your ear

with all the new technologies coming.. i guess i'll make another overkill buying.. hahahaha

I hope the important options will be available, such as the backlit keyboard. (the main reason I decided to ditch the L501X and wait for the L502X!)

I'm looking to get one with these specs:



When I configure this on the U.S. website it's about $1500, hopefully it won't be way over RM 4000 when it gets here.

That's old news dy.. Since a year ago, USA lappie prices have been adjusting and quite close to our direct exchange rate.... Many lappies such as Asus, Apple, and Dell...

Here are the following trends...

Dell M101z around $449 when launched, Malaysia's was RM1499... Around Rm100 diff

Apple MacBook Air 11 at $999, Malaysia's RM3299.. ARound Rm200 diff

Asus U36Jc at $999, Malaysia's RRP RM3099, SRP RM2999.. Either same or cheaper...


There are some others as well like HP, but I dun remember the prices... So I am very sure the new Dell price would be close to USA price.. Lets just see hehe...

Naw, the last time I saw the backlit keyboard option on the XPS 15 (L501X), it was only RM 55 extra. Then a while later it was out of stock. Pissed me off.

i've tried playing some HD1080 video which i rendered out from one of my editing project and it's somehow lag. why ah?

When is the L502X going to be available for ordering in Malaysia?! I can't wait any longer!

the agent told me it will be available in the end of march or 1st of april.
it s a long way to go.

looks like macbook pro has incorporated sandy bridge processor and thunderbolt port. any chance of xps getting the same port? i read it's even faster than usb 3.0.

I called Dell to enquire, the guy said it was planned to be released late March. But when I told him that it was already available for pre-order in the US and UK, he said it might be earlier than what was planned. But he said it'll only be available for ordering once it has launched, there will be no pre-orders.

Overall it's good news, my worst fear was May.

did u run it with dxva?

audible buzzing? at first i tot mine was gonna explode lol

does anyone have any tips/idea on how should i overclock my XPS15 Graphics card (nVidia GT435M)
i just wanna overclock a tiny bit.
I've overclocked my previous desktop's intel processor before but this would be my first time overclocking a graphics card.

i've heard of a graphics card overclocking program called RivaTuner but i have no idea on how to use it.
can someone guide me on this?

Unlikely. But USB 3.0 is still a wise choice. Just because Apple, Intel, LaCie and the other brand got 1st hand into using these tech. it doesn't mean every other manufacturer had to do the same.

USB 3.0 is here to stay as well as ThunderBolt aka Intel LightPeak. Only time can we see both be integrated on a single machine. That IMHO, is very likely to happen.

is it ok to buy dell xps15 from any retail stores?like imbi plaza or lowyat?
