haiz... still can not find the bag.. bad luck to me
temperally use 14 inches backpak. any on hv ideal for me ??

bad luck come to me again.
2nd time ald dell send me scratches notebook !!

my problem:(dont want dell replace by parts, wanna ask for a new unit)
1.Top casing + teh leather hv 5 scratches (very hate it)
2.The LCD hv more than one pixelens (pixel problem)
3.palmrest hv scratches and nock
4.edge casing at the DVD driver there.
5.My 6 cells batteries also hv scratches
6.why the window vista can detect 4gb ram but at physical memory it show only 3gb ram or 2.99gb ram only ?
8.this studio XPS only come with 3 disc ?no remote control ?
9.the system still face lagging problem but is better than studio 1537
10.performance (speed) not sastify me ... abit slow, I expect something higher that DDR3 can go ~.~
11. teh bottom casing not close well !! dont know should i post the photo up to teh forum. why the QC can pass this unit.

the memory reas, write ... benchmark not realy good.6.6kmb/s DRR3 ... haiz...May be need better processer
The monitor resolution is nice, better than Studio. If use Full Hd 1080p that would be nicer.
I get Generic PNP monitor ~.~, hyundai ram ... Standard HardDisc not WD or seagate ... no brand !!
DVD driver optiarr ...

The temperature is 40 when normal use it underneath hv coolerpad.
when in high performance is 51 when i writting this !! 45 for harddisc. 38% memory utilization.
when install heavy software is 64++.
even higher when running memory diagnostics tool at 3rd lvl. damn hot ~.~ i think is above 80 or 90 at the left hand
side. right hand side abit cooler.
when playing game , cs teh source 3mins still ok not very hot. no mood try it since this unit hv scratches ...
for studio 10min sc the sources is very hot ald, above 60++ even go 70.

at web, i saw ppl descript stuio XPS,
the whole performance benchmark is arround 6-7k. not very well when compare to those unit using DRR2 only.
the whole unit temperature is 90-116F when stressing the unit.
They say this unit cooling system not very good. not good for gaming bcoz the pamrest very very hot.

The HD screen is nice for 720p, hope cna get 1080p... better than studio even just with partial HD.
hvnt fully check this unit yet... hvnt exam + no mood. Dell spoils my mood ~.~

any ppl knwo where can get everest enginnering software ?? latest edition.
where can get the outer screen protecter , if not the casing essily damage.
lazy to cut it myself

overall the unit still ok for me... hope the system can run even fast since it's uding DDR3. But it make no big different
for me even this unit use DDR3 with DDR2 .....

For ebay ... no ideal how is the inside of the notebook.
Today at Queensbay I saw a Golla notebook bag can fit my Studio XPS 16.
but the price is RM 288 ~.~
I saw one Belkin bag too, 15'4 inches but is not slim backpack RM 288 also
Belkin side messenger side bag RM 288 also but low yat show RM 195

OMG! What actually happened? 7 parts... That's shocking! blink.gif  What are the parts needed to be changed? rclxub.gif
*
1. the top casing
2. the monitor
3.bottom case cover
4.bottom case
5.palm rest
6. speaker
7.batteries

can consider open whole part of it. Like my previous Studio 1537 but is 4 parts and other is system problem.

Do you guy think this unit abit slower ?? the ram look didnt increase much with DDR2..
this unit support window 7 since the motherboard can add until 8gb ram but need RM 2k !!
but ur driver is using ultimate driver.

I'm also asking for the remote control !!
haiz dell hvnt return my RM 200 yet !!
If still hvnt, wanna ask them upgrade TV tuner since my unit probably replace by new unit. and they dont need to send me the cheque again.. Hope they can do this for me!!
TV tunner enable me to play PS 2 game

From where you get this info from? In other words which application tells you that.

I use Everest engineering Software to tets it.
I even benchmark the memory reading ++

By the way, owners of Dell Studio XPS 16 take note; the IDT driver update on Dell's website will offer a slight upgrade on the sound capabilities of your sound card (though I suspect it's on the software level). SRS Premium Sound capabilities is added to your IDT control panel once you installed the driver.
*
How to upgrade the audio ? I get the software but can not install it need teh original disc.
But i dont hv the disc. What i hv is the driver disc.

Dell hv one return unit from me.
SXP 16
spect as normal one but with
4gb ram, 3 year complete cover.

If want cheaper can go buy Refurbish XPS M1530.
It's cheap !!!
Can get in less than 2k.

Or any of you know any Dell technician, ask them hv any return unit which are cheap and good spect.

I get a notice that they hv a latitute E 13' series original price 6k but sell out at 4k.
They say better than SXPS 16.
