Future XPS15 owner reporting, lol!

damn, my laptop is still work in progress since the 5th of dec. the hell is taking them so long??

damn... yeah i did went with that full hd monitor. my edd is 31st dec and i hope they can "honor" that date. thanks for the info.

HUZZAH!!!!



Still 11 days away, but crossing my fingers!

I ordered mine on the 4th of December. I read in the original XPS thread, someone mentioned that the shipping date is just an estimate, so there's a possibility that I might get it earlier than the 28th. Here's hoping

naiz! i checked just now and it reached the hub today hopefully next week can get!

i will be doing an unboxing pictars here, hope you guys are not sick of it yet

Nice! i got a txt from Dell this morning mine will be delivered on Wednesday. Susah duduk JB coz they need a longer trip.

hey team! finally got my XPS15 today. The wait is finally over. This laptop is absolutely wicked! Best laptop I've ever owned. hope you guys don't mind, here's a little unboxing pic that i took this afternoon.

i went with FHD screen. ordered mine on the 4th of december and got it on the 22nd. ok lah, not bad. they said 3-4 weeks. lucky that i got it less than 3 weeks (although the wait is torture lol!) i guess all the delays due to the shortage of FHD screen, like TheWandererX mentioned a couple page back.

i am so hating the bloatware in my xps and thinking about fresh install everything again from scratch. any of you guys did this when you first got the laptop?

flip! new specs already! but im happy with my current xps. my next upgrade would be the next next xps.

i think the number is not important no? coz from what i read the 400 series far superior than the 500 (saw it in engadget just now)

have you tried re-installing the driver from Dell?

just now i check dell my website. its looks like m17x with sandy bridge is here. for XPS, it looks like the price cut is in. slightly cheaper than before. so sandy bridge xps should be soon i guess.

btw, do you guys get random shut down on your xps?? it happened to me a couple of times. not that annoying, but one time i was in the middle of Black Ops and then windows just automagically shuts down. its not like immediately dead, but a full on windows shut down, like when you normally power off your laptop. could it be the heat killswitch or something?

no, no cooler pad yet. i guess i should go buy one now i just realize that the shut downs happen during gaming (once in Black Ops, twice during Resident Evil 5) so it must be the heat. but will monitor my temp with that HWmonitor thing and see how it goes.

back to the hdd talk, mine is a Samsung. i guess Dell just put in any brand they can find eh??

flip! i have a dead (or a stuck, i dont know how to differentiate) pixel on my monitor! on white background, the color of the pixel is red! should i be worried??

Argh my xps 15 just died!!!!! Was nice nice listening to music when the battery meter said below 10% please plug in, so i plug in, turn on the plug and kaput!!! Now waiting for dell people to gimme a call for in house service. Aybody here know how long does it take usually for them to gimme a call to set up the date coz need this thing repaired on or before wednesday.

Thats why lah. My first laptop that mati very quickly. Actually, my first laptop that mati my old acer, compaq and hp still alive and kicking, and one of them is like (my aspire) 5 years old. Sial lah dell.

Finally my XPS15 alive and kicking again. Dunno what I was doing with it but apparently i fried the motherboard :S :S Swear to God, I was listening to music when it died, thats it!

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.
