View 10 RepliesI am in the process of buying a new Dell Studio XPS 16 and have the spec finalized with the exception of the CPU selection of either the T9550 or the P8770.
I am looking to future proof my laptop as much as possible for the next 5 years, and am looking for the best blend of performance, versatility, battery life and heat management.
I have read some reviews about the XPS 16 generating excess heat and want to avoid as much as possible. Here is my spec: XPS 16, 1080 RGB LED screen, 256 SDD drive, Win Vista Home Prem 64bit, 4GB DDR3, ATI Radeon 3670 w/512mb, Blueray DVD ....
Im buying a E6500, but im not quite sure on whether to get the P9600 or T9550 proc... Aside from the 25W TDP of P9600, are there any other differences between the two? Any recommendations?
I'll be installing Vista 64bit and will be using this laptop for dev and testing purposes, I'll have multiple VMs running on Virtual Server so Intel VT is a must have. Also, I live in the tropics so heat will definitely be a factor when Im working out of the office.
I've seen that there are some people here looking to upgrade to the T9900. I have a T9550 (2.66 1066 6MB L2) with 4 GB RAM and a 256GB SSD.

Anyways, i recently purchased studio 1555 with the following specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53ghz
4gb ram
512 radeon HD4570
250gb harddrive with 7200rpm
vista home premium 64 bit
I was wondering why my CPU would go over its factory clock speed when i didn't even overclock it its kinda weird this is what its getting

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm configuring a FW390 CTO and mainly stuck on the processor speed.
The new P8700 at 2.53GHz or T9800 at 2.93.
I'm in love with the computer but it seems to be lacking a bit in speed. I usually use my desktop that has a Q6600 along with 4 GB of RAM. I do use this frequently though while on the road and while it's fairly quick I notice that it gets a bit bogged down at times. It currently has a T4200 along with 2 GB of RAM. As with all of my new computers I formatted it it upon delivery with Windows XP Pro SP3 so it's not a matter of bloatware and such. Is it worth it to upgrade the processor? Would bit be a significant difference in speed? If so could you please suggest a processor that would be the best bang of the buck? I stated the P8700 because it's the fastest processor that Dell offers but if there's something better please don't hesitate to offer a suggestion.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an aging M1210 with 2 gigs of ran, a OCZ SSD & the C2D 2ghz T7200 processor.
I wasnt really planning on an upgrade but the pricing looks pretty good.
I am not sure if its worth it though. My M1210 with SSD is amazing.
I just dont know if going from a 2.0 T7200 to a 2.66 T9550 is worth it or if i should wait longer for an I7 system in this size?
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.
I have a Dell Latitude E6530 and when I plugged in my monitor and keyboard into the docking station, they were not recognized. But I can plug them into the laptop while docked and they are recognized.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron N5010 purchased about 2 and a half years ago. I was just deleting some random programs which I don't ever use, and accidentally clicked on uninstall Dell Data Safe Local Back up.
How to reinstall it? I tried to do so by clicking this link [URL] .... but it just came up with an error message.
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 ?

Where can I find a replacement fan for the dell studio 1537. I believe the brand is a forcecon. I just want the fan, not the heatsink.
