What is COA?

Certificate of Authenticity

Meaning?

i only sell cd key only....but no win7 though....refer my siggy.....


dell 14r se speaker good? screen quality? as i love stream netflix from the shop y400..really good

every dell comes with premium sound speakers. so i can its good. even my brother's dell 15r speakers also rocks.

i have no idea... i thought it's their technical support's job to find out?? and the Dell support guy just kept saying "I don't see any issue..." well, if no issue then take this laptop back and use it then!! its barely 1 month old...

i did exactly that, except the cold and collected part i guess... anyway the guy kept saying "i don't see any issue" "engineers said there's no problem" (wow, just lied like that, if their engineers said there's no problem they won't be sending so many keyboards to me) "i'm sorry we cannot give you a replacement unit" "you will be charge RM80 for a refund" since when does a refund get charged, anyway??? and this is a new laptop somemore??

at least the engineer (somewhat) helped me by asking the guy to change motherboard or some (palm?) rest... they may come again tomorrow, so we'll see...

i see the con of on-site service like Dell's now, with issue like mine, if you go to a shop, you can probably change various spare parts until the problem is fixed. with Dell's, you have to wait for each spare part to arrive, make appointment to meet them each time, wasting a lot of time and dragging out the problem...

btw, i'm using windows 8 now. still not familiar enough with it, but it is bearable...

i just upgraded to it yesterday.

spent around 30 minutes and now im familiar with it.

Thanks for the info. By the way, how do I make myself entitle to this CoA so I can get genuine W7 at RM50 like you said?

oh no. i accidentally posted that due to wrong info (cuz of fast check and scan). it is better to buy a retail OEM at RM240 (W7B)

I see. Thanks bro.

As I said, if you feel the person on the other side of the line (Dell Support) is not "happening", demand to talk to another person.

Have you actually been to SC of other brands before? I count lucky star for Dell Malaysia warranty support for consumer laptops. You have technician coming to you to fix thing for you, and yet you think it is better to send laptop to SC? And you seriously think technician in SC (for other brands) will fix it on the spot for you while you wait?

Anyway, if the technician come this time and the issue is still not resolved, call Dell Support, and DEMAND a replacement of new laptop. Refer to 1st paragraph

compare with this spec. This give you Linux (free) but with medium low end Nvidia GPU (which cost ~ RM100), and is RSP RM1499.
The 1st link come with W8, no discrete GPU, RSP RM1399 (other specs are the same).
W8 retail cost ~ RM300.

Now you tell me which one is a better deal?

I'm sure it sounds like a good deal to some. But I definitely do know that I don't want the extra heat (no dedicated GPU, which is also the reason I go for ULV CPU) as well as W8 (which I hate its GUI).

If it is W7 though, then I will be happy to take it.

I agree with you. From my personal experience, Dell warranty support is the best in Malaysia.

BTW, could I easily install W7 myself (there goes the W8 down the drain)?
Will there be any issue with driver availability as well as the UEFI sh*t that people talked about?

Yes, you could install W7 yourself.
You can find all the necessary W7 drivers on Dell website.
Aiyo, UEFI is a good thing People has been complaining about the limitation of BIOS for a long time, and UEFI address lots of the issues.
What MS do with W8 secure boot is another matter
Normally if you go with 64bit W7, it will work with UEFI.

Thanks for the confirmations bro. Glad to hear that it will work without any issues on W7.
