Hey, I am thinking about getting the Studio XPS 16.
But is there the 9-cell battery available for this model? There is no option to customise to a 9-cell online. Where can I get the 9-cell battery? |

Okay, I placed an order for the Studio XPS 16 and it is now at the acknowledgement stage.
It is taking forever to be confirmed by the bank (Maybe because it's a Sunday) Anyway, in the event I would want to buy an additional battery in the future, which battery should I get? http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/con...RY&s=dhs&~ck=mn It seems that all the batteries are labelled "Latitude"  |

I also want to get a protector...
Checked the Invisible Shield official site, there is no protector available for this laptop. Anyway, normally how long does it take for the bank to verify the payment? I placed an order yesterday and it's still at the acknowledgement stage. Is it normal? |

Delaying? Crap... I've already waited 3 days for the bank to verify and today the bank called me and informed me about the payment.
Have not received any confirmation from Dell.. Wonder how long is it going to take. |

QUOTE(Dackson @ Mar 19 2009, 09:53 AM) you better call in ... Did you get ur customer code or quotation code ??It very important o~ I received an email just now stating "We will inform you the Estimated Delivery Date of your order within the next 3 business days."go scold them seriously dont ever gv them chance .. You said it's 4-5k buyer is not ur customer ? 100k just consider as ur customer ? this few day all ppl scolding dell. Me get angry with dell ald ... If they didnt respond to my twice delay, i think wanna ask fof Full refund and go to HP, ASUS or toshiba. plan to get thin light, and small notebook. something like SXPS 13 but higher quality and better respond from the company. I also got my order number and customer code. This means that they will tell me when the unit will be sent within 3 business days? Not when it is arriving? |

Does anyone here knows why I get the error message "The audio device supported by this application is not detected" whenever I try to launch the Creative X-Fi MB Audio control panel?

Hey, I tried inserting a PS3 Blu-ray disc to test, but it ended up being stuck inside the drive instead! It couldn't detect the disc.
Somehow I managed to get it to eject after many failed attempts. Got any idea what's the problem? |

QUOTE(Onyx_black @ Apr 5 2009, 09:02 AM) PS3 Blue-Ray disc? You mean the ones you used in a Play Station 3? Just insert a regular Blue-Ray disc. Yes, a PS3 blu-ray disc. Hmm... The problem is that the only blu-ray discs I have are PS3 ones.But aren't they supposed to be the same since they are all blu-ray? |

QUOTE(Unwritten law @ May 20 2009, 12:01 AM) got the settings, but now got myself into a new confusion. When you hibernate, all the current data is saved to your hard disk and then the laptop turns off.Whats the difference between hibernate and sleep? As by default , our lappy sleeps when our lid is close , and when we seemingly shut down our lappy , its actually hibernating. So should be change the hibernating setting to shut down ? No power is consumed, you can turn off your laptop and disconnect the battery. Pros: Doesn't use power, resuming windows may be a little faster than booting up again (If you shut down instead) Cons: Resuming windows not as fast as sleep mode When you sleep, all the current data is stored in the RAM, then your laptop will be in a low power consumption state. Power is consumed, must be connected to AC power/battery. Pros: Resuming windows is very fast Cons: Uses power, drains your battery. |
