Hallo, didn't know there was a XPS forum here.

I ordered my L502X on 6th/Apr/11 and got it 14/Apr/11.

Custom changes:
1) 15.6" (39.6cm) FHD (1920x1080) B+RGLED display with TrueLife
2) 9 Cell Primary Battery
3) Belkin 15.6'' EVO Backpack Caviar and Brick Red
4) Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6230 with Bluetooth v3.0+HS for Malaysia
5) Dell™ Backlit Keyboard
6) OS Media Kit

Total = RM 4,339

My screen is fine with pure white. Did you increase/decrease the contrast?

Why do you guys choose X14 & X15 over X16? Apart from the new processor, Is the graphic card better?

i think dell has discontinued xps16

Not really, only until last week. So wondering why most people rather go for faster processor than other stuffs.

Because SXPS 16 got throttling problem ?

I just ordered the new XPS 15 today. It'll arrive tomorrow according to the supplier. It's basically the same specs as the online version (I opt for Intel i5 2nd gene coz i7 version is way over my budget). And it costs the same RM3299, giving free Belkin bag as well as the McAfee 15 months.

I hope I didn't make the wrong choice getting this coz it kinda costs me a fortune, considering how I'm still studying, and still awaiting for my scholarship $, which is taking forever.

I decided to get a new one because my Acer Aspire 5630 has been lagging a lot giving the *not responding* sign a lot. Also the other day, the fan stopped functioning, causing it to overheat and auto-shutdown several times after like 20 mins. Went to get it repaired but they said my model is pretty old and that I should send it to Acer service centre or sth. But the next day, it suddenly worked again. Weird. Overall, I've never had any huge prob with it the last 4 yrs, frankly. So I still love my Acer, but it's about time to let it rest a bit.


Can't wait to get my hands on the new XPS! This will be my first time using Dell. I was choosing between Toshiba and Dell initially. And when I first saw the XPS's design, I didn't really like as it looks a bit plain and simple, but somehow, it grew on me after reading reviews and watching yt vids of it. Seems pretty alright. I wanna try out some games on it as my Acer can't handle them.

This thread really helps a lot regarding the model. I hope it won't disappoint me.

Enjoy your XPS and your jbl when it arrives

I'm wondering whether its possible to physically upgrade the 540M to a 555M or even 560M. Anybody thought of trying this?

Based on review the throttling on XPS 16 is caused by the 90Watt Power adapter. Not sure mine is 130watt or 90watt, not sure if the last batch of 16 is affected or not since it's been updated.

today i saw new XPS 15z alreday appear in dell website.
but it use GPU nvidiea GT 525m. huhu

detailed spec here
http://www.dell.com/my/p/xps-15z/pd?c=my&c...n&s=dhs&ref=hbn

yea anyone bought the new 15z? can do review here

15Z, overpriced in Malaysia.

You haven't seen the price in Australia yet =P 1,399 for the basic set up like the one Msia has..

all dell laptops here are overpriced tbh.
i don't quite understand y also.
bcoz if u see apple online store here, the price they offer is almost similar to that in the US, with reasonable exchange rate, unlike dell online here.

apple lagi overprice.. they came out not to utilize user but create a trendy fashion to let user follow this flow! apple is overrated!

I kinda second this. I looked at the specs, (I'm not a pro in this) but I think other brands can offer more with about the same price, sometimes even lower than theirs.
But I do have a friend who uses Macbook and she has never looked back since, I can understand that though. But the price is the factor that makes me look at other brands. Maybe when I have enough $ to spare, I'll prob get a Macbook then. Not now.

by the way, I got my XPS 15 L502X last night. Bravo to the supplier for fast delivery (not online Dell btw). I tried a bit and I like the keyboard and speakers best. The screen too.

Hello all, I`m thinking of getting a Xps 15 myself. However which one is the better option ? Ordering online or getting the laptop from a computer store? The store is called PC Image in Kuching and they offer other freebies like mouse, cooler pad and etc ... Or should i order online ? Getting a cool Evo bag and customising it sounds really nice as well ? Comments ?

Btw What is the best way to order online ? Kinda blur seeing 4 options given on the dell website ... Thanks

Well u can always have a look at garage there. Is selling cheaper than the store u said. Those mouse and other stuff mostly wont over rm50. In garage u saved almost 400-800....

This XPS L502 comes with switchable graphic. Its suppose to switch graphic automatically. But why the system just defauted to Intel HD graphic even when i use it to play high end graphic intensive games? or maybe i need to choose it manually?

Where i suppose to view which graphic the system is currently running? The software and the task manager just show intel hd. Help pls
