Dell :: POLL: For Studio Xps 16 Owners
Apr 13, 2009did you have any problems with the laptop when you first got it?
i figured it would be a good idea to do a survey and see what would be the ratio between defective laptops vs non defective ones.

Oct 12, 2009I'm about to pull the trigger on either the 13 or the 16. It's really come down to how well the above to games run for you (those are the two that have me hooked at the moment, so i'll be familiar with how I'm used to it performing compared to your settings).
I'm currently on an Asus G2S-A1 thats overheating like crazy. Time to upgrade. It's specs: 2.2Ghz core 2, 4gb ram, 5400rpm hdd, 8600m-gt 256.
Will the XPS13 with a 2.66ghz, 4gb ram, 7200rpm hdd, and the N10-M 512mb gpu perform equal or better then what I'm currently on? I ask because I'm having trouble finding a comparable benchmark.
This wont be my primary gaming rig, it will be portable entertainment. BUT it does need to be able to run on par with what i have or better to entertain me Should I be happy with the 13 or do you think the 16 would be better. The only reason I'd go with teh 16 is for the Radeon 4670 1gb if the 13 has problems with wow and L4D.
If you play WoW or L4D on the 13 (or even the 16) I would GREATLY appreciate the peace of mind i would get from hearing back what your FPS are and what detail/quality settings you're getting them at.
Dell :: I Just Received My Studio XPS 16 (Owners Please Read)
Aug 8, 2009It was expected to ship on thr 10th and I actually received it today. Dell is the best. But anyways, here are just a few questions to you current owners:
1.) How can I adjust my RGB settings to perfection and what settings would you recommend (Please don't post a thread of a 10 pages that I will have to read through).
2.) I purchased the 9 cell. Do I want to fully charge it, then let it die all the way down so the sensor is correct or what would you recommend?...........................
Dell :: Studio XPS 16 Owners: Is Your Notebook Really Portable?
May 18, 2009I currently have a Sony Vaio Z540 -- 13.3" non-glossy display at 1366x768 and a weight of around 3.4 lbs.
Easily carried, that thing.
I, however, wouldn't mind a 15.4" / 16" notebook. For those of you with XPS 16 machines: is your laptop really that portable? The thing weighs 6.4 lbs with the standard battery, from what I understand. Think universities and the usual study places as well as at home.
Dell :: Studio XPS Owners: Have You Figured Out How To Get A Non- Remote Working
Jul 26, 2009I have a Studio XPS 13 (aka. 1340) but Im sure this would probably be relevant for Studio XPS 16 owners as well. On the front of the system, you will notice an IR receiver which is meant to go with the Dell IR remote (which I didnt order). In the device manager, it appears as a generic Infrared HID device.
I am just wondering if anyone has been able to successfully get their Studio XPS working with an IR remote? Maybe with a Windows Media Center remote control, or perhaps get it to recognize/learn from a typical remote control you might have laying around?

Sep 3, 2009Dell offered to replace my XPS m1330 that I got from the outlet because I've already had 2 screens replaced(got laptop 3 monts ago). Should I keep it or exchange it for the SXPS 13?
I'm concerned about the overly blown up heat issues. Is the heat that bad with just the 9400m or is it only for the 9500m.
What other issues should I be concerned about the SXPS 13?

Dell :: POLL: Vista Or XP
Feb 27, 2008Since vista has come out, I have installed it three times to give it a chance, and all three times I was upset about how slow it seemed, but my new M1710 came with a license for vista ultimate and I just received the install DVD from Dell and was wondering. As of today, a clean install of vista with ALL updates and some tweaking, would it affect my FPS in games enough to notice? Would it help if I upgraded to 4gb? (3.2gb addressable)

Nov 2, 2008There was a poll for idle temps, but I am more interested in your values for max temp for the GPU.
Setting: 8 mins of running Rthdribl on a M1330; HWMonitor read-out for max. GPU temp in Celsius.
Mine would be 104°C. After another 2mins the GPU clocked down, resulting in "only" 98°C.
Dell :: How Long Have You Had/will You Keep Your Laptop? (POLL)
Aug 16, 2009I'm just starting my 5th year with my Inspiron 6000. Bought it in August 2005 for just under $800 out the door.
I was planning on buying a new one but I realized that everything in that price range these days isn't really a huge improvement over what I already have, and since the thing still works, there's really no need to upgrade.
I have had to make a few fixes over the years (upgraded HD, RAM, new keyboard, screen/inverter, battery, top bezel, power jack, power adapter) but at this point it's almost a matter of pride to be able to fix something for $15 or $20 by just buying the part on eBay and maybe spending 30-60 minutes with a screwdriver.

1. Yes, I am returning it or already returned it.
2. Yes, unless the throttling problem is fixed.
3. I will keep it and use Throttlestop until DELL fixes the problem.
4. I love it, I will keep it either way.

Dell :: Warranty Poll On Laptops Preliminary
Mar 16, 2008I took statistics and numerical analysis a LONG time ago in college, and I'm afraid my poll questions will not be as relevant as they could be, or could cross over from one group to another. Who out there has some expert advise? You can either post here or PM me. I will make a thread for each generation (i9300/xpsg2/m170, i9400/m1710, xps 1730, etc). Maybe having the XPS's on their own? I don't want to thin the numbers out too much. These are the poll questions I postulate:
-it's worked fine! (regardless of if you have an active warranty or not)
-some parts are broken but I don't trust dell warranty, prob. end up on ebay searching for some.
-i've returned bad parts and gotten good ones, and now it works
-the computer died and I got a replacement which was better
-the computer died and I got a replacement which was worse
-the computer died and I have yet to get a replacement confirmation (not necessarily in your hands yet)
-i'm out of warranty and SOL
Voices from others will be heard, of course. Like Galileo said, "In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual."

I tried to figure out who made this particular LCD, but the intel graphics driver makes it hard to get the EDID info.
The only thing that sort of worked was MonInfo:

Dec 14, 2007i have a overheating issue with my note and i am kind of desperate about it...
I am trying to eliminate the problem right now.. And i am thinking about the fans.
Now i wanna know if the situation is the same with you m1710 owners.
When i (using fangui) put both fans on full speed i am mostly hearing the one on the left (the one close to the cpu), and the second fan is actually pretty quiet...
Is this true with your notes too ?
Or are they making the same amount of noise?
My impression is that the right fan is a lower power fan or something, maybe that's my problem ?
Dell :: Question For T7600G Owners
Jul 14, 2007do any software programs (notebook hardware control comes to mind) recognize your additional multiplers? Say if you boot up from bios with it set to 2.33ghz, does nhc automatically recognize the additional multipliers allowing control to 3ghz+ etc?
The reason I'm wondering is that if it does, it may be the case that even without bios support the t7600G may be able to be overclocked on 1705s (I don't believe anyone has modded the 1710 bios to work in the 1705s, right?) ... although the utility may be small because t7600gs are only available through dell right...just some pondering
Dell :: M1710 Owners .. Which CPU Have You Upgraded To
Jan 14, 2008I have an M1710 with a T2600 @ 2.16GHz and looking to possibly upgrade.
My questions are:
1. What have you upgraded to & how much did it cost?
2. Is there list of possible CPU upgrades for the M1710?
3. Where does my processor lie in that list?
4. Is there room for A LOT of speed improvement? Marginal?
5. Is it easy & is there a "how to" somewhere?
