hmm. anyone has the best way of cleaning off the fingerprint laptop?
can anyone suggest a good headphone, cooler, mouse for this laptop?

Hmm. But then Studio XPS 16 is a really a lappie that worth for buy. It's ready for gaming (not heavy). <3 my Studio XPS 16 =DD

Damn. I had some problem man. I just installed F.E.A.R (pirated) and when I'm trying to eject, the whole screen freeze for a few seconds and the disc doesn't come out too. I can't even shut down or restart the laptop. zzz. I just replug the laptop to make it reboot. And, it runs some memory checking stuff. That takes a long time. zzz. Damn.

Hmm. Does the driver improves the performance of the Laptop? I had a serious problem playing CoD5, does you guys play CoD5 nicely without any lags?

hmm. how can i check my drive type? Dell's offering 3 type of drivers for CD/DVD's section. Which one should I download?

Grats for the new lappie =D I love mine too! Hmm. For those updates you mentioned are the drivers I guess, you can get it by the link below.

Man! I can't play CoD5 at all!! T_T But could max L4D perfectly might be okay. Hmm. Anyone having problems with playing CoD 5 too?

hmm. is keyboard skin protector necessary? I heard that if you used keyboard skin protector for a period of time, it will a permanent leave mark on the surface.

LOL. Vista is kinda cool ya know. I can't find any bad about Vista. Just anyway, I love my Studio XPS 16, she gave anything on a computer. Just 2 problem I'm facing. Finger-print on the palmrest, keyboard and media keys and heat problem. Others just run cool.

well. erm. for lowyat retailer. don't buy from JustPC or the one at the entrance. They're not professional and not honest.

Hmm. Just a lil' question here, if compare gaming performance, Studio 1555 with HD 4570 and Studio XPS 16 with HD 3670, who wins?

LOL. Don't get that CREATIVE Sound Blaster thingy. It's useless or NO? I can't get any benefit from that. I thought it improve the speaker, afterall it's just a software. Duhs.

With my specs, I could max out L4D perfectly, handle CoD4 in high details. Yours might be a cool one.

Hmm? Means old user don't have the chance to try the new 4650?

Damn. Maybe the price would increase a lot too?

Hey. What if I buy it from Retailer? I hate that shop. Not professional and not honest.

Hmm? No idea. Maybe install the new driver? Everytime playing a game, I made everything in highest detail =D While it lags only make it lower. But I'm pretty sure, I maxed out L4D perfectly.
