wooah.. cool

Nice one slashie.

No driver incompatability issue while running Mac OS X? I like the spec for SXPS 16, but I'm not really sure I will like WinVista or 7 or anything that come after WinXP.

WOw..damn cool. Will try it when got chance. No driver issue for Mac OSX?

U can try download the Trial version windows 7. Much better than vista alr. Speed also increase.

Driver incompatability issue is normal when you try to install OSX to "Windows suppose to be laptop"

Wireless 1515, i think dell change to 1510 now, so it will work out of the box.

lol...anyone know the news abt the lunch time promotions which give rm600 cash redemption to sxps 16....thats mean...the sxps 16 will only cause for rm3599...waa...it's the biggest promotion i've seen in dell malaysia website....it's also the cheapest sxps 16 in malaysia.......trader might get it and earn alot from selling it.......

hey what is the differnt between centrino 2 and core 2 duo?which is better?

You're like asking whats the difference between an apple and a fruit

I think its just the power consumption.Centrino 2 uses less power which is 25W compared to 35W(without centrino 2)

lol, nowadays new laptop use centrino 2. no such thing as centrino 2 vs core2duo.

Centrino is just a marketing brand by Intel. Your computer needs to have certain Intel chipset, processor, and wireless card to qualify for a Centrino label. The absence of wireless card from Intel will leave you with the label for the processor, which in your case, Core 2 Duo.

To qualify for Centrino 2, your chipset has to be Montevina or later. If it's Santa Rosa, it'll be just Centrino, even if you have a Core 2 Duo processor.

wow now sxps 16....is so cheap...make me felt wanna buy it now.But dell china already released ati4670 1gb @@...so i think..better wait pc fair just buy..lol...ati4670 with 1GB...tats cool

u may upgrade it. i've called dell already, they said we can upgrade the gc for a few bucks

Currently they have lunchtime deals for XPS Studio 16, where you can get RM 500 off from 21st - 23rd July, if the order is done during 1200 - 1400 hrs.

Centrino 2 must be using core 2 duo 7-9 series processor and latest mother board and support for wireless N that call centrino 2

yah, quite a good deal. but normally ppl are having lunch outside =.=!

call to dell sales department,there will send u the quotation. so u can decide anytime. i try tht before

are you sure we can UPGRADE our existed ATI 3670 -> ATI 4670? that gonna make me the happiest man of the day.

yup. u can call Dell tomorrow to verify it urself.
but REMEMBER i stated u need to top up also

approximately what will the top-up cost around? Rm500?

Huh... i just got my studio-xps 13 with special lunch deal n now came to the 16 ... wow! It's seriously cheap with the Rm600 cash redemption. For ur information, if there is another promotion like Rm200 cash redemption, the Rm200 can be used 2gether with the Rm600 which in result: Rm800~~~

the monitor and the color is super super nice compare to my previous dell's notebook =___=
backlit keyboard is a plus .... nice preference.... nice touch pad ..... etc etc
well ... it wont get very hot in non-gaming environment but very hot after playing games ... well... it's still acceptable since im not using it on my lap .....

the weakness so far i found is ... only 2 USB port, no remote control.
and the most irritating thingy .... MY FINGERPRINT ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
