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.

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.

Hi all,

I know this is late. I posted before that I bought the XPS 15 L502X a while ago. So far I'm loving it, especially the screen and sound system. My friends when they heard the sound, they are all very impressed. And I did play several games, mostly run smoothly. But Crysis lags a bit during high setting, so I just played with medium. Basically, it's been doing well. So, here are just some piccies to share with all, the first day I got it. Please ignore the background though, coz I'm staying in hostel currently, it's a bit ugh...
