I'm actually going to the US pretty soon too and I'm buying an XPS there. Much cheaper if you get it there because the exchange rate is RM3.1 to $1 and no problems with the warranty. And you can also configure it with the new Penryn processors too. I'm planning to get mine with a T9300, 3GB of RAM, 320GB harddisk, 128MB 8400GM, 4 years warranty, 6-cell batt and it came up to about $1719, or about RM5300. If I got it from Malaysia it would be at least RM6000.What would be the second choice besides xps? This post has been edited by ttwy: Apr 12 2008, 10:58 PM |

hi guys, need some help in choosing a processor for my XPS 1330 which I'll be buying in US.
Is it worth paying an extra US$75 (RM232) to upgrade from a T7250 to a T8300? Or how about to a T9300 which is an extra US$200 (RM620)? Which among those three should I choose? And are there any websites which do a direct comparison between these processors? Thanks! |

You can upgrade to Dell's 3 Years warranty. The 3 years warranty is International Warranty.

Confirm the 3 year warranty is International warranty. I asked my friends who are in Dell sales.
If you have friends in Dell then you can ask them to help you buy the XPS under employee purchase  |
