Damn....this studio xps really got design issue .....luckily i read the whole topic before purchasing one =.=

Let see what i have noticed.

1 ) The LCD cannot open more than 100 degree or it wil block the air ventilation =.= this is so true and i didnt notice that

2) The leather too fragile easily spoil or get srcath .....why dell so stupid go use leather =.=

3) lots of people tends to have speaker issue =.=

However what most converned me was the stupid design that block the air ventilation when the notebook open more than 100 degree....this is really a big mistake dell made......the leather still can protect with protector .....the speaker still can replace if got problem ....but the design got problem =.= thats hopeless.......

Anyone encounter anymore common problems than what i know here?

Hi, today i when lowyat and brought a 2gb ddr3 laptop ram which has 1066mhz. is it different from my current 1067mhz? coz i just notice there are 1mhz different after i came back home.
And I installed it and it works on my laptop.

same one, when out side state 1067mhz but inside computer detect as 1066mhz ~.~

great i was worried i purchase the wrong one. Thnkx for the help ^^.

my dell studio xps run really hot wei...any solution?

Get a cooler pad and upgrade the bios update if u havent do so.

All studio XPS is running very hot because of the air ventilation been bock by the screen when u open it more than 90 degree.

This model got bad design on air ventilation ....those engineer who design this studio xps must be sleeping=.=

must add 475 for red option! omg..thats too much. its not even pretty

agreed! bt i must say that girls would have fancied it~

if might be if it's more colourful such as white, pink or so. red is a bit old fashioned imo.

hmm, something is not right here.
at Dell US homepage, red option additional price is $0
