Going-To-Be XPS 15 owner reporting in!

To all of you who prefers gaming on the XPS 15, here's a youtube channel dedicated to gaming on the XPS:
Kriios's Channel
Do note that he's running the games on i7, 2gb 435M and 1080p lcd screen

Most likely in Penang since they have a factory there

Well I'll be damned, it's true. Based on the replies I got from the old thread, I guess that the FHD1080p screens might delay their production, so maybe thats a reason why they took it out of the selection. Im just saying

Hmm if im not mistaken, sxps 16's upgraded lcd should be better than xps 15's upgraded lcd

What about NotePal Ax? im planning to buy that one.

wow not much rise in temperature! would these results differ if im using a cooling pad with 1 big fan(NotePal Ax)?

Guys i've received my xps 15, and is quite impressed with it. the nice aluminium brush finishing really looks great. but after i installed gta iv, the fan somehow revs up to a noticeable loudness. plus i can feel warm air blasting on the left side. and the left side palm rest is quite warm

lol but its really warm. but overall, yeah im amazed with this laptop. the speakers are amazing, i can really feel the subwoofer doing its job

well its mainly because of the slow startup speed. after the facial recognition thing, it gets really slow

i used startup manager to remove all the useless bloatwares. now the only thing that starts up is mcafee, msn messenger, rocket dock and rainmeter

yup, when you first run it dell will ask you to make a recovery disk

is it ok to uninstall mcafee? i mean, since we already have the license for it. after uninstalling can get it back with the same license?

nice

haha. which is better, mcafee or microsoft security essentials?

ori or ehem ehem one? plus dont all antivirus eat pc resources?

hmm nod32 sounds great. i'll give it a try soon

logically speaking, i think it can be installed although no one did it yet. but finding the drivers that are compatible with mac os/snow leopard might be a handful

anybody experience a vibrating feeling whenever they slide their hands along the outer surface?

Well apparently i tested a few games on the XPS 15. Here are my specs:

i7 turbo boost up to 2.93ghz
Nvidia Gt435m
6gb Ram
1080p screen

So the games that i played which are quite smooth are:
Gta IV-Medium-High settings
Section 8 - High
NFS Hot Pursuit - High
MW2 and BO - Automatic-High settings
Unreal Tournament - High
SC2 - Medium-High
Transformers War For Cybertron - High
Counter-Strike Source - High
I get an average of around 30+fps from the settings above. And I ran autoCAD 2010, Microsoft Words, Adobe Photoshop CS4 all at once and apparently no lag spikes or heating whatsoever. Guess the 6gbs of ram was quite worth the money. Definitely a great mainstream laptop to whoever is thinking of purchasing it

Plus, i get bored listening to the in-game music, so most of the time i would open media player classic and make a long playlist of shows like HIMYM and Two and a half men and just minimize it and listen to it while playing games. No lag whatsoever
