Dell :: Different Prices For Different Colours? Why?
Jul 11, 2009
I was customizing a Studio 15 on the Dell Malaysia website when I noticed something I thought as strange and a little unfair.
Under "colour options", the Mike Ming/Derek Welch designs cost $70, and the Product RED ones were $90. This is fine by me and most people - you're paying for the art.
For solid colour options, Jet Black was free.
All the other colours (Plum Purple, Spring Green, etc.) were $20, except Flamingo Pink which was $60 - that's nearly the same as the art ones! What gives? I read on the forums that pink is one of the cheaper colours in India.
Does Dell sell the solid colours at different prices in all their online stores?

I was recently viewing the Dell site of my country of residence, which is not the US.
Considering this the prices should not be in dollars, this is not stated anywhere in the site but for example if I go to Dell Mexico prices are displayed in Mexican pesos,
If I go to Dell Austria the prices are displayed in that local currency.
But there is one specific country which the prices are just to cheap to be real for the local currency, should I buy then? Or is Dell going to come to me and say that the prices where in dollars, although there is no U$ or something similar.

Around the 1st of May the prices for the xps 16 were quite reasonable with my customised system hitting out at about £1100 with the 10% coupon, due to my dad being a I-must-see-it-before-I-buy-it person we didn't get it right then. Ever since though, the prices have been racking up siginificantly (just to get the RGBLED screen it costs £245 now). Is this just because Dell feel that they can charge this much because it;s in such demand at the moment or are they planning to have a huge rebate in the near future or is this going to continue untill the the sales decrease to a point of having left over stock?... or is this even something to do with the new graphics they are planning to put in in the near future so that they can slowly ramp up the price s people don't really notice and then charge the same for the better graphics while bumping the price of the 3670 card down large amounts to get rid of the stock?

There is someone selling a Quadro FX 2500m for 450$, I thought these things went for about 150. And for the 450 bucks for a 7950 GTX, I could buy a 8800 GTX for my desktop.
Maybe the supply will increase to drive the prices down, although I don't know where they would be getting the equipment.

CW owners?
Could they upload some pictures of each of the colours available?
I'm about to order but would like to see each of the colours in the 'real world' as I'm not sure how accurate the Sony website is.

problem with my HP nw9440 workstation notebook.
Running xp & native res of 1920 x 1200, the colours are totally off and way too much blue, as well as washed out white making the contrast pretty bad.
I was going to buy a hardware calibrator but think it would be a waste of money if it didn't fix the problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, i dont know if this type of thing is covered under warranty but the screen is pretty bad compared to my mates Dell Precision M90 (not as fuzzy and way better colours, as with my 24" dell).

I have a problem with my MBP LED Screen and its colours.
I tried calibrating, but I've noticed everything has a bluish tint and I didnt like it, so I went back to the original colour settings, but it doesnt look the same. I type in something in Google Images, and it all has a monotone to it. They all look quite grainy also.

Last night when I was browsing, the darker colours immediately started showing off as green. The GPU temps. are normal and I have even switched to VGA mode by uninstalling the Nvidia driver. Still the same problem. Ihave uploaded the image of my wallpaper. It is a blue wallpaper actually but it is now appearing as ugly green.

Model:Â HP15-N096EA ... When the laptop is turned on the screen colurs are inverted i.e. blue becomes orange, white becomes black etc. at times it flickers back to normal colours i.e blue shows as blue etc.
Â
I have checked magnifers invert colours isn't turned on but when I do turn it on the inverted colours switch to normal colours obviously. There is also a vertical shimmer like every other vertical line is missing or phases in and out.
Â
I have booted into safe mode to see if its a driver issue but the colours are still inverted, I've booted into the BIOS and again the colours are inverted and just to cover all bases I booted a live DVD of Mint Linux 17.1 and the legendary green of the mint distro was a lovely lilac. I've also tried high contrast i.e. Left ALt + left Shift + Print Screen.
Â
My feeling is its the graphic chip or the monitor and I'm hedging more towards the monitor. Tomorrow I'll do a screengrab to see how that comes out and will also connect to an external monitor to see if the flicker and shimmer is still present.
Â
Considering this is literally a month and 6 days out of guarantee it pretty bad, I would have expected a bit longer from a laptop before it started failing.Â
Â
Update from Yesterday: I did a screengrab from the HP using the snipping tool in windows 7, this showed the colours inverted i.e. negative, I saved that screengrab to a USB stick and opened it up on my Mac, the image showed correctly i.e. not as a negative.
Â
This is the image that is displayed on the laptop, there is no colour inversion, none of the graphics settings appear incorrectly set, I did actually set all settings back to defaults.
This is the screengrab from the laptop as it displays from another computer, which, in my case was my Mac. The screen appears to be displaying correctly, hence the screengrab image below but for some reason it is displaying an inverted image - Its like there is an overlay on the screen.Â
Â
Could the inverter be faulty?

For anyone waiting to buy a Mini 9 or Mini 12, the price of the Mini 9 is now $299 and the Mini 12 is $399.
I think this is going to make the Mini 12 a much better offering for those that might need a little bit more screen and hard drive.

Is it normal that dell.ca would have fewer choices of screens than dell.com? I'm looking at the studio 15, and dell.com lists Hi Resolution/Bright,
glossy widescreen 15.4 WLED display (1440x900) as a choice, which is what I want, but dell.ca doesn't. When I view the system specs though, that choice is listed as on option.

my laptop vostro 3460 won't boot any more. When I turn it on it loads the Dell logo (I suppose it passes the POST) but then it just shows a black page. It could be anything, but I guess that it may have something to do with Windows 8 and the UEFI system. I also would be quite happy to install linux mint and get rid of Windows, but I don't know how to change the boot priority order.
So my questions are:
1 is it a hardware issue ? if not, can I solve my problem easily ?
2 how can I change the boot priority order, to install mint ?

when i first got my dell inspiron and it was all good. when i set the monitor to shut off after 1 minute of being idle, it did and would not turn on unless someone moved the mouse of pressed a button. however, after i reformatted, the computer monitor would shut off after 1 min but soon afterwards it turns on again by itself, then it goes off again, then it remains on permanently. i recently formatted my laptop again and this problem persists. anyone knows whats sup? im using xp ftw... and my configurations are the same as it was before the reformats so idk whats wrong.

i consider buying assassin's creed for pc to play it on my dell laptop (see sig).
any idea, how it will run? anyone with an i9400/e1705/oc'ed 7900gs, who already
played it? is it worth it or do i have to turn down the settings too much?
just for info: i can play gears of war, bioshock, ut3, cod4, et:qw, sega rally,
orange box, stalker, etc. at max settings at 1280x800 res. everything runs
smoothly like that. have to turn down aa or shadow qual. slightly down sometimes,

Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook to boot up and stay unfrozen long enough for me to retrieve my files, and put them on my tower pc.
In a nutshell, I got this Inspiron about 3 years ago- I currently have it connected to an external monitor, because my wife dropped a heavy object on the screen last year, and destroyed said screen.
Just this past week, I turned it on, and it started getting really slow. Finally, it got to a point where now, when I turn it on, it boots up, it goes to the desktop, the desktop icons all appear, and within a minute or two, it just kind of slows down, and eventually freezes up, and the hard drive indicator light quits doing anything. It does not respond to anything, and the only way to restart it, is to hold the power button down until it resets.
If anybody knows of a thread already on this site, regarding this problem, please point me in the right direction, as I tried the search function, and did not come up with anything.
and one or two other things, since it initially started having problems, sometimes, I will get two "missing module" error boxes pop up- and also, while it is booting, the screen flashes black for about 3 seconds, and then comes back on and continues to load.
Thank you very much to anybody who could possibly help me out of this jam. I really do not plan on using this laptop (or notebook) anymore, if and hopefully when, I get my files off of it.
And that is the other problem, I can not attempt to boot up in safe mode, as my screen is busted up, and it will not output to my external monitor, when I hit the f key while it is starting. I did make a couple different bootable cds, but they do not seem to do anything.

I enjoy gaming, although I wouldn't consider myself a "hardcore" gamer. I currently have 1024 MB of RAM (2 x 512) and I am looking to upgrade soon. My options are as follows:
- Dell certfied RAM
- PNY RAM
- Kingston RAM
- Corsair RAM
Of course, for the Dell RAM, I have to wait for the shipping, but it is one of the cheaper ones. However, any of the other three I can pick up at Best Buy (which is more convenient). Can someone point out the pros and cons of each? It seems the PNY is a great buy, but could there be performance problems compared to the others? And why is the Kingston so expensive?
