bro.. dun buy on9.. call them do a quotation for u by email or fax. can discount & more safer than click on9..

eh since when got rm200 voucher?

i know, still u got to tell them which model rite, any also sometimes they don't give discounts but they prefer to give u free upgrade on certain parts.

so tried call again ask for other sales person.. like my client won't ask for 1 place quotation.. they will compare who give the best price.. u must told them what model.

Guys, How capable is the XPS 15 in handling games?
As nowadays games are very demanding. I'm looking for something that resonably cheap and at the same time gives decent performance in game.

Im not looking at ultra settings. just a comfortable setting to play smoothly.

XPS 15 isn't really that cheap for its given performance...

hey guys, is it okay to install official NVIDIA driver instead of using the one Dell provide? So outdated one the driver on Dell's website.

the best i tried is latest driver 275.50 beta...
i guess the newer the version the better it is...

any idea why doesn't dell malaysia sell 17" laptops?

Well, there is the Vostro 3750, and Alienware M17x haha...
Others like Inspiron 17R are not sold because of the lack of popularity?

but vostro and alienware's 17 inchers cost alot..
if malaysia sold XPS 17 or Inspiron 17R, I would definitely go for it.

My friend brought back a 17R from UK a few days ago and i was drooling over the size of the screen

guys i want to upgrade my studio 1555 , not enough for my gaming needs . play cod black ops all low with 1280x720 also laggy

im getting xps for sure, but dunno the old xps or the new xps 15z. but i really want the sleek n thin design for 15z.. what say you?

1)so i've heard xps 15z fhd screen arent good enough for 1080p, is it true?

2) as usual, dell with heat issue. how bad is it?

3) as from here http://www.dell.com/my/p/xps-15z/fs,
i)u can choose 2 starting point.. do u really use that 8gb of ram?what kind of usage will need u that much of ram?

ii) that price of 4.6k.. for me too pricy. does it really have the value for money compared to the i5?


hope that i can get much clear view on these 2 model, thanks

I suggest u to get a Dell new XPS 15.
XPS 15 FHD would be better than the 15z because it is B+RGLED display.
for heat issue, u can upgrade to 9 cell battery, so it better to release heat.
XPS 15 GPU also better than XPS 15z

Hey guys, today I've decided to take the risk of disassembling my entire XPS15 L501X laptop to change the stock thermal paste

The entire process of disassembling it took about 2 hours, whereas reassembling it took around an hour (first time doing mah )
Overall pretty painstaking, but you'll feel that its kinda simple after you complete it

Here are some pictures in case some of you are interested in knowing how the insides look like

Sorry if the images are kinda blurry, took it with a cell phone.

Following the guide on dell's website here, it is sufficient enough to guide you throughout the entire process.

1. Removal of the palm rest assembly




2. Removal of the display screen and keyboard + touchpad




3. Screenless laptop with the palm rest assembly and keyboard removed
(those two tiny round silver things on the left and right are the speakers)




4. Size of the hard drive. Looks smaller than an average 2.5" hard drive though




5. This is what's inside when you finally pry open the black cover that originally 'sandwiched' the motherboard and the top cover




6. The motherboard with the heatsink exposed




7. The heatsink removed exposing the lousily applied stock thermal paste




8. The motherboard with heatsink removed, exposing the processor and graphics card




9. The shiny mirror surface of the i7 740QM processor after removing the stock thermal paste
(as you can see through the reflection of my cell phone)




10. Tiny shiny surface of the nVidia GeForce GT435M GPU



I used CoolerMaster ThermalFusion 400 as the thermal paste replacement.
So far on IDLE, I'm only seeing about heat less of 2 Celcius on the processor and 4 Celcius on the GPU after 2 hours of use.
I have yet to test the temperatures on load though.
Not a big difference, but definitely worth the effort

I hoped you enjoyed it!

dude, do you mean that the 2GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M graphics with Optimus (xps15) is better than the NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M 2GB graphics ( xps15z ) ?
