QUOTE(janson_kaniaz @ Apr 8 2011, 09:31 AM) dell online just upgraded xps 15's the graphic card to 2gb for the upcoming pc fair... i tot all the while its 2gb. GT540m right? QUOTE(lotiman2003 @ Apr 8 2011, 07:07 PM) Just ordered mine. Call sales rep but say no discount on XPS but Inspiron can discount. Hope it is a good buy.
Added on April 9, 2011, 12:15 pmFor those using the B+RGLED, how is the viewing angle? Can it be compare to the screen Macbook Pro? I went to AppleStore and see the screen in person and the viewing angle is great. Went to Dell store and see the WLED 768p is not so good (sorry, no pun intended) and decide to upgrade to 1080p. I never see the viewing angle for the 1080p but fellow forumers said good things about it so I made the upgrades. Macbook Pro is also a TN panel and not IPS. I expect it to be more or less the same. Any thought? u've upgrade on certain parts right? how come cant get discount? i got mine  |

BTW, is it includes windows 7 disc in the package? Unless it's a Targus I think,mine is a Belkin Backpack,works great for me. |

Guys my battery won't charge higher than 89%. I've had the xps since early late december and took the battery out since I am gaming and I want to avoid the battery from overheating. But when I placed the battery back into the laptop, it won't charge higher than 89%. Any ideas why and how to fix this?

If turn off the laptop and start charging? Still can not ?
Try press Fn + F3 ? See if any option to disable charging is enabled..

Most likely you need to do recalibration since long time didn't use...
Use the battery until 0% and then recharge it back to 100%...

Won't that disturb the battery cycle in some way?

The top part barely fits, but I find it still acceptable as the cushioning on the bottom/side/front is really nice. It can also fit the laptop with the 9-cell battery, no problems. Just got to squeeze the top part of the laptop in at times.

Your best bet is to call them and ask for a thorough explanation. I got mine. And I don't know how to explain it - it's complicated. Good luck.
