I ordered XPS 14 on 26th Jan. But today I got an email from Dell stated the estimated delivery date is on/b4 9th March. Is that normal to take 1 month long to build a laptop? Anyone have this kind of experience with dell b4?

I ordered my xps 15 jan and i got the email saying it will arrive on 9 march. However, they sent the laptop to me on 26th jan.  biggrin.gif

can't really seem to remember where i got the info (i think a sales agent) which that you can only extend your warranty (if done after purchase) by another year. not like upon purchase like the 3 years. and yeah, the extension costs a whole lot more after purchase (had to extend my xps 1530 warranty a year ago ~1.3k RM)
anyone know why the xps 14 is delayed? argh. they just keep saying shortage of parts. was wondering if they can just send the missing part afterwards haha

feb 28 is so far, far away.

I called them and say I wan to cancel my xps14, cuz taking too long ady. You know what, next day they suddenly say got parts ady, and the build is completed and ready to be shipped!

Dammit! I wanted to cancel and wait for sandybridge 1. Guess I got no fate with sandy. Hope xps14 wont disappointed me..

hah.. i thot this XPS 14 spec already quite good for gaming..

I cant play starcraft2 at all..the fps is so unstable even at lowest setting. Then I tried 2008 year game Tomb Rider underworld, everything is fine at start but also become unstable after around 40mins. GPU temp was around 65-79.

And sometime programs crashed for no reason, this I have never experience in my 3 years old laptop with winXP.. Now I don't know what is wrong with this laptop anymore.

Ya I saw that youtube, thats why I got XPS14 now. I'm doing system diagnose now..so far no error. So I suspect is software issue.

I also returning my XPS14. Talked with agent, they said will send DHL to collect my XPS14 in few days, then proceed to refund. But said will charged for RM80 penalty.

It told them I already opened OS/drivers cd cover, and they said nvm.

Best of luck! there's a 3 to 4 week delay, when I last checked and they replaced the "XPS 15 MLK" with "NEW XPS 15".

using the xps 14 for some days now (before I return it).

played the following games:

team fortress 2 (high setting)
sims 3 (high setting)
starcraft 2 (ultra)
world of warcraft (ultra)

I can say performance is pretty decent. for sc2 i didn't feel any lag although i should have looked at the framerates (got no fraps). For WoW, in ultra settings and in sholazar basin the frame rates hover around 30fps.

If only the price of the XPS 14 and the new XPS 15 weren't that so near to each other (at least for the one I bought) and if only Dell hasn't discontinued the XPS 14, I wouldn't have chosen to return it. and if only dell hadn't taken so long to deliver it to me. hahaha

Wow you can play starcraft2 at ultra? Mine got 1-20fps at lowest setting.

Go for new xps15 model : http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/con...el_id=xps-l502x

Good enuf sc2 med setting. Go for 8gb ram if you do huge resolution works in photoshop and use win7 or 64bit os and CS5.
