hey there!

to those having the XPS 15 WLED (not the full HD BRGLED screen), just wanna' ask, is the default WLED 1366x768 screen good??? clear, crisp and good colours and good contrast? what bout its viewing angle???

i'm considering to get the full HD screen, but adding it kinda overkills my budget... so what do you think of the WLED default display???

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.

yeah, the sales agent told me that too. after-sales warranty extension will cost 2x or 3x more, compared to when you're purchasing and customizing the system online (discounted rates in the warranty options).

I only add 4Gbkingstone RAM RM133. but this xps is no warranty. coz I asked the seller I dont need warranty :-D
when I checked at home (open the case and check every parts) all parts are brand new part, for spec its same with Dell's site

well, having a warranty is always a safer choice...

my previous Dell desktop has gone thru the Dell services occasionally, all the PC parts (CPU first, then the Dell 5.1 speakers, then the Dell 19-inch monitor) have been fully replaced before~ XD

errrmm actually since I bought my 1st device till now (desktop pc, mobile phones and notebooks), I never used every warranty that they give to me... and fortunately I still have my: 10yrs pentium 4 desktop, 8yrs SE W810i, 6yrs SE P1i and Axioo notebook, 2yrs iPhone 3G, 7mths toshiba netbook. all still kicking except for battery life :-D

note: I never broke all devices above :-D thus never use the warranty itself.. so, thats why I begin think that I dont need warranty at all :-D

n then last Nov 2010 I bought my new iPhone 4 without warranty and this week I bought XPS without warranty too :-D

PS.
1. I dont like play games with PC or Lappy coz I prefer XBOX n PS3 >> maybe this is one reason why I never broke my PC or Lappy :-D
2. I never turn on my PC or Lappy 24hours for download or torrenting, coz  I already have 30Gb private server that can queue downloads, such as torrent. So, my lappy can sleep too  :-D >> 2nd reason :-)
3. I only use my lappy for design, streaming movie, chat, emailing and internet only :-D

thts why I so confident bought this XPS without warranty hehehe :-D

O.O

hey guys, finally got my XPS 15 on mon! biggrin.gif

on the JBL speakers, it's seriously awesome! biggrin.gif

anyway, on some songs, i noticed some noise distortions/crackling/rattling from the JBL speakers when playing some songs even at volume below 50%, and those songs aren't those bass songs either (mostly piano soundtracks). i have never put the volume level above 50% (after reading this threat that too high volume will spoil the speakers and subwoofer).

for example, this music, several of the Hachiko (the dog movie) piano soundtracks produce some rather noticeable crackling at some parts of the songs. try playing the music from this this youtube link. try listening to the first track, and listen very carefully at the speakers.

do you have the same problem???
