I manage to buy mine as the last few customers before pc fair closed. Yeap they do offer the free "premium mouse" and 15months mcafee, on top of that they'll give u a 100 bucks off the price. thats prolly the only reason why i bought it on the spot.

I was told that white, black, yellow, pink and red has sufficient stock atm, other colors are required to wait at least 3 weeks to 5 weeks.

And complete cover only covers msia, sg, philipines, aussie (if im not mistaken), so if u took this and u were to be abroad and ur dell is faulty, u gotta send it back to these countries to be entitled for the complete cover.

Got my 1520 at a whoopin 4.4k pricy but i hope its a good buy
below are the specs
-C2D T7300 (2.0ghz, 4mb cache 800mhz fsb)
-15" widescreen truelife -hope i don regret this
-2x 1gb 667 ram
-160gb sata hhd
-8x dvdr (heard plenty of complains on this)
-Geforce 8600gt 256mb GDDR2222
-4965AGN wifi minicard
-audigy card (just add 35, only applicable in pc fair)
-9 cell battery
-3 Yrs Complete cover


btw i just went to dell's site, apparently their new warranty is called "Dell Care" - 3Yrs limited warranty (includes night & weekend) + 3Yrs plus phone support + 3Yrs CompleteCover + 1Yr HelpDesk @ 659 from a default 1year warranty.

apart from the grainy screen n leaking, wat other problems does other 1520 users get?

brown is in low supply and in high demand, be prepare for 3 weeks at least i guess,
wats your order status right now?

Normally if u order thru online, they will email u saying they got ur order, and another mail saying payment is confirmed and they will give u the order/code all the particulars to check. But I order at PC fair and they didnt ask for a email address, so how am i suppose to check this?

Just curious why do you guys wanan upgrade the slingbag to a backpack?
I chosen a backpack for my gf's dell laptop but i don find it very nice, its useful when u travel far abroad but it doesnt look very practical for me to wear a backpack to work wif my laptop in there daily..

My sales representative isnt picking up my calls! I left a msg the day before this and there's nothing.. arghh
i have no idea of my order status

Yeap, but its more obvious if u go to work carrying a significant backpack then seeing crowds of people carrying slingbags which could be a laptop or not. dude the backpack is quite big man, and it'll look hilarious to carry such a backpack to presentations. Not to mention it makes ur back sweat sweat sweat alot. Its just not too practical to use it for work or collage/uni, its like a big sign board on u saying u got some valubles beneath this big bag

my 2c

Hmm, to all those whom order 1520 during PC fair, how many have received the lappy while how many more havent?

bah, there were some delay in the credit card approval so i was delay 1 week, but ever since my sales rep gave me my order no. and customer no., and i check online status, it says "work in progress" 15Aug.

Today's 21st and that page has not been updated, the estimated delivery date is 23 it says.

So shall i call or just sit and be hopeful that it comes in 2 days time (doubtful thou) :S

Hehe, I manage to trade the backpack wif a 35bucks targus slingbag with my gf. And on top of that i myself is getting a normal dell nylon bag. Does the backpack cost 200 that much?

Sigh my Sales Rep gave me a order confirmation wif 6 cell batt when i order 9 batt, she said either refund or delay lappy for 1-2 weeks, i complained and later she called back saying ill receive the 6 cell for FREE

ironic part is that ill be receiving the spare battery first, and next week only shall i receive my 1520 "
