If I'm not wrong the screen's uneven illumination problem is quite common with the Dell XPS right ? For me, my right side is quite obviously brighter than the left side.

Just called dell. Sweet voice answering.
Dell just instructed me to reinstall the audio driver
Now got audio back again. yeah!

oh, the driver is the prob rupanye..

hey guys..check dell website ..freel 9 cell main battery upgrade!!!.

I see the review about 6 cell...it last for 2-2.5 hours for normal usage..if 9 cell how long can it last?
I'm curious to know..coz I need to bring outside and view document files..hope it can last many hours XD

yes they are giving 9-cell battery for free!! limited time only.. i just order my xps last saturday.. still waiting

Well the only bad side about the 9 cell battery is the battery will be bigger right ? Although I would like to have the 9 cell battery but I already have a big made to exactly fit 13.3" widescreen laptops so I think if I were to have the 9 cell battery it won't go in either.

The 9 cell battery will portrude from the rear of your laptop, and cause it to tilt some. I'm using a 6-cell and it fits perfectly.

What I did was ask Dell to give me a normal 6-cell battery (instead of a 9-cell) and use the couple o hundred bucks saved to upgrade HDD and Processor instead!

anyone using 9-cell battery here? can share ur experience?

6-Cell


9-Cell


Is it comfortable and stable when typing?

its like using a "snap it". a bit ugly tho. haha.

it is more aerodynamic i suppose..hahaha

hmm, seriously none of you guys ever noticed any slight static or popping sound when you run programs with music playing?

anyway dell should be replacing my system in the next few days, according to the technician that tried to fix my laptop, he's got one case where after replacing, the new laptop gave the exact same problem, and the guy just decided to live with it.......

which is not something that i want to live with, and yet i don't feel like getting a refund...zzz

maybe i should try installing xp and see if there's any difference

I too have this problem but decided to live with it too since I could listen to music on my desktop.

woo... this is so creepy.. everyone had experience problems with xps m1330..
wait next week... hopefully no probs will happen to me

you serious? did you even call dell and ask about it?
zzz does that mean every single xps m1330 comes like this?

in that case, i shouldn't even bother get a replacement? either a refund or live with it

Nope because to me I don't really care much on the sound so occasional static sounds and "break offs" isn't really a big issue to me. Also, I think it actually happens to most of the XPS laptops be it the 1330 or 1530. You might contact them to enquire the possible solutions for this and also their recommendation on what to do with it.

M1330 Product RED customization page finally corrected to WLED.

yipee tomorrow my lappie will come to my house
