Hei guys i just bought this New XPS L502X and currently waiting for the 3 days business day process to given me the estimated delivery period. Hope i can get it asap

Spec that i bought :

XPS L502X

Intel® CoreTM i7 2630QM Processor (2GHz/6MB cache)
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM (1 x 4GB)
2GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M graphics with Optimus
15.6 FHD (1920x1080) B+RGLED display with TrueLife™
750GB hard drive (7200RPM)
9-cell LI (2.8Ah); Up to 8 hours, 29 minutes* of battery life with 9-cell battery
Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6230 with Bluetooth v3.0+HS for Malaysia

Price : RM 4,178

What i wondering is there are two choices on the website for this model http://www.dell.com/my/p/xps-l502x/fs

One with Good RM 3,299 ; Another one with Better RM 3,699

what different of these model :
processors - cheaper one is i5 2410M ; Another is i7 2630M
HDD - cheaper one is 500GB 7200RPM ; Another is 750GB 7200RPM

the others specs are totally same

As i customized some upgrades for own purpose :
FHD Monitor / 9 Cell Battery / Better Network Card

For the cheaper i5 model, i customized it into i7 (same as the i7 one)
and also upgraded the HDD from 500GB to 750GB and the others customization on top i mentioned.

Here comes something weird.

I got the total price for i5 one(after customized) was RM 4,178
and i did tried on i7 one(after same customization as i5) was RM 4,248

there is 70 bucks cheaper while both of it are totally the same thing??

i checked with others details from both model which provided form the website.. still the SAME!

hmm.. so in the end i decided for the cheaper one (ofcoz i guess you will do so) but i m worried about is there any problem of it? did anyone experienced of the pricing different after customized?

i did search online and found that goods delivery period will be longer as the more customization you did. But i willing to wait for the best thing, why not?

anyone got any experience of similar situation please feel free to give me a comment. i appreciate it thanks

Hi fren! glad that we got the same lappie! haha i just received my XPS 15 two hours ago!
hmm but sadly i m at working hour right now cant do anything yet and i cant wait to do the unboxing tonight! lolx

yeah i know i7-2630QM is the 2nd generation of icore series and with the sandy bridge tech it just boost up the performance compare with the first and it's really an awesome one!

what i met was the pricing which i compared two totally same spec model (included the processor as well) but in different price which one is after customized and another one isnt.. i search around few websites and quite number of people meet with this funny issue too and what they concluded was dell given two choices to two type of buyers ; who willing to press for few for clicks (which enter the customize section and change it) will get the cheaper and the other model which is a bit more exp is for those who just wanna buy without any extra actions. LOL

which one you did ?

Ya! i got surprice too and this wasnt the first time for DELL i searched from other reviews for other models.. LOL

Hei guys i got the lowest mark 4.9 at the windows performance test for my L502x .. and this 4.9 belongs to GRAPHIC part.. omg i wondering what happen to my new bought lappie.. anyone met this problem as well? any solution? i found that the windows tested the graphic as INTEL HD Graphic but not GT540.. hmmmm

hei guys.. i plan to add on another 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM for my XPS L502X which currently only got 4GB.. but as i know is better if i got both RAM which are same brand same model.. so at first i go to look for Dell website for it and i found that the pricing of RAM they provide are too expensive.. so I wonder anyone know which brand of ram is more better for me to choose?

I guess maybe is your Codec problem.. you try to reinstall your codec?
I prefer K-Lite Codec or Pure Codec.. so far i didn't counter with any problem with these codec to play any media files yet.. you can have a try


Pro-kingston? how about A-Data? Seems it's also a performance choices

Nope. 8GB of Ram is the maximum for it


Awesome! here comes another new member of our XPS 15!
I did some shots for my XPS too! free feel to have a look!
