Hei guyz... anyone did a proper and stable installation of XP on the 1520 yet?? Just the XP alone not dual boot... Vostro with XP should be out tomorrow if not mistaken. Wonder if the drivers are usuable on the 1520??

all the driver can be found at US dell website if im not mistaken.

Guys about Dell's comeplete cover, it only covers Asia Pacific (Australia included). A sales rep i talked to previously before asked me where i was going to study and i said UK, then he said better to get the normal 3 year warranty because complete cover doesn't cover in UK.

correct me if im wrong.

this is where i read it from and just to make sure, i called up dell and talked to the customer service manager and she assured me it's covered.

why are we getting mixed response from dell (again)?

he's asking about complete cover bro, not normal warranty, normal warranty is international, but complete cover is only asia pacific region.

but im wondering if like my laptop had spills or what, then take back to msia for complete cover, can ah?

1520 owner gonnabe reporting in

wat brand?
u skin urself or they skin for u?

right.. thanks for the info bro. so is there any way we can get complete cover for international? sending it back to msia for warranty is one way, any other suggestions?

The brand is "GUISE" from China. I had to skin it myself according to the dimension of the laptop and also have a hard time to cut the centre circle to reveal the logo ....but very satisfied with it after completed the cutting task

If you go to the Dell UK website you can see that their complete cover costs a lot more than if you were to get it locally. You should ask your sales rep for any suggetions about complete cover in countries not covered in asia pacific. But yeah, you could get complete cover and send your laptop to Dell when you're back, but that means before you come back you won't have a fully functional laptop.

Does the 1520 come with a remote control? I've just ordered the lappie but I forgot to ask my sales agent about it

Nope, no remote control.

Confirm of the ETA for my laptop, 3 weeks for midnight blue

Anyone managed to get a discount?

I only managed a $100 discount. Total cost is around 3.6k after discount

From Complete Cover service description:

Complete Cover does not include:-
Any Notebooks and Desktops located outside of the following countries in Asia Pacific: Australia, New
Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, India, Hong Kong, and China.
. Any Peripherals located outside of the country of purchase i.e.
o Axim: Australia or New Zealand, or Singapore or Malaysia or Hong Kong or China

Discount? From PC Fair or online? The discount is usually standard if you get it online or by phone.
3.6k? what is your specs?

Your post doesn't mean anything.

Maybe he meant extra discount that he could sequeeze from SA.

he bought it before 7pm today so he go the special 100 rebate

Really got such thing?

yes and it's still available until midnight if u know how.....but then again since this weekend the pc fair would be held at other places i think they will be offering the same pricing again this weekend
