Jan 10, 2009Is it just me, or does it look like the Studio XPS 16 is thicker, heavier, and hotter than M1530?

HP/Compaq :: DV2419- Progressively Running Hotter And Hotter
Jan 26, 2009I have a DV2419, with an AMD Turion 64x2. It had been progressively running hotter and hotter as I owned it. Then recently it would freeze (the screen would flash up a weird pattern) and I would have to restart. I thought it was some virus, so i turned it on and scanned it. I think it got too hot after a few times and now it wont turn on. The lights turn on, but I get no response from the screen or anything else. and the gummy substance between the heat sink and the amd looked kind of melted. Did I destroy it? I probably did but I have no idea how to figure it out.

Jul 21, 2009So ive been dabbling with the thermal paste on my m1530 for a few months now but havent really stressed the gpu to know for sure. Today however, while playing l4d, my gpu temp got up to 88 degrees C and my cpu was in the high 70s.
I havent seen these kinds of temps since i got my mobo/heatsink replaced a year ago. I have opened up my laptop and my fan looks a little dusty but i am not sure if that would warrant a 88 degree gpu temp.
I am wondering if this could be because i applied the paste incorrectly? I am quite sure i did it right and i followed the instructions that were posted on here for m1530s exactly.

Jun 29, 2009I think about ordering a Studio XPS 16 config with 320 gb HDD and 7.200 rpm.
Now I just saw that there is also a 500 GB / 7.200 HDD, for only 30.-€ more .
Ok, I know that a 7.200 HDD produces more heat than a 5.400, but what about a 7.200 compared to a bigger 7.200?
Do more Gigs also produce more heat?
Since I read much about the heat issues with SXPS16, I try to be on the safe side with as much power as possible
Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Progressively Get Slower The Hotter It Gets
Dec 13, 2014This laptop keeps getting slower and slower and I've tried everything and it's not making a difference. Seems to progressively get slower the hotter it gets. I have run virus scans (all fine), malware scans (fine), de-fragmented it, cleaned up the disc, I have deleted unused/unwanted programs, I have cleared history options and stopped background programs from running. Nothing is working. I have checked the amount of memory/space and there's still plenty, I have run a temperature scan (Speccy) and that was within normal. Not only does it slow down where it takes forever to get from one window to the another, it will not open some things at all.Â
Like, now I can't use IE - I get an error message. When I came onto the Dell site, there was an option/link to diagnose your computer and that also gave an error message. I went to order something only a few weeks ago and that's when IE first gave me a problem - it wouldn't get me to the sign on screen. I downloaded Firefox and that allowed me to sign on but not check out. The rep at the company had me download Google Chrome and that finally let me process the order. I don't know what's going on.Â
I thought maybe there was something wrong with the fan, maybe the computer is getting too hot, but from what I've read online the computer will stop working altogether, not just move slower. I'm at my wits end. If it's not due to lack of memory space, nor a virus or malware, what the heck is this things problem? I had also contacted my internet service provider and they had me run a test and the download speed was fine so they said it's my computer.Â
Dell :: Xps M1530 Or Studio Xps 16
Apr 5, 2009Dell Studio xps vs Dell Xps m1530. I sold my Dell xps m1530 because of manufacturing problems, such as dents and other things.
I was wondering which one is better for gaming the Studio xps 16 or the Xps m1530 with the 8600gt. It seems that you can only get a Bluray burner on the xps m1530?
Dell :: Considering A XPS M1530 Or XPS Studio 16

Dell :: Gaming? XPS Studio 13 Vs. XPS M1530
Jan 10, 2009personally, 9500m is tempting not sure if it's better than 8600m gt even nvidia's site states that 9500m 8600m's successor,
but it's GS...
and by the way why why why dell had to use an ATI card for xps studio 16 and used the nvidia card in xps studio 13
Dell :: XPS M1530 V. Studio XPS 16 (Size Comparison)
Oct 31, 2009I recently took the plunge and purchased a new Studio XPS 16. I searched online to find images comparing the size difference between the two without any luck. Now that I have both systems in my posession, I took a few quick shots for any interested in seeing the physical difference. You'll have to forgive the fingerprints as I didn't bother to wipe either down.
With the configurations I have, the weights are 5.8lbs for the M1530 and 6.6lbs for the XPS 16.
Dell :: How Do The Graphics Cards Of M1530 And Studio 16 Compare
Apr 7, 2009how much stronger one is over the other. The m1530's is a 256mb card, but it's ddr3 and seems a lot more powerful than the typical 8600M.
Oh, and does anyone know when there'll be new colours for the studio 16? =)
Dell :: Studio 1569 ( Studio S15z-2249CPN) Best Buy Blue Label CNET Review
Mar 28, 2010What I found quite interesting in the cnet review is that their performance testing of the Dell 1569 was second place just behind the Toshiba E205-S1904 (the other Best Buy Blue Label). I do not understand why, the specs are basically the exact same specs, EXCEPT our Dell has a 500gb 7,200rpm hard drive while the Toshiba has a 500gb 5,400 rpm hard drive. I would think, if anything our performance would be slightly better than the Toshiba because of our 7,200rpm hard drive. All the other specs are the same.
So, with that being said, why did the Toshiba have slightly better performance numbers than ours, since as I keep stating all the specs are the same except we have a faster hard drive?
Dell :: Studio XPS 1645 / Studio 1747 Wireless Configs
Dec 3, 2009Does anyone have any idea why? Is this something affecting Dell globally or is it just UK/Europe in a mess?
I guess I could survive with just wireless G, but it seems ridiculous to be limited to that these days;
I guess I could also just order it and pick up an intel/dell Wireless N card for ~£25 and install it myself,
but again the question arises, why is it necessary? I assume some of you do have an 802.11n card of some description in your 1645/1747's have you seen any problems with it? .....
Dell :: Audio Latency /Solutions With All Studio & Studio XPS
Feb 24, 2009Recently i ordered a Dell Studio XPS and like many of you with dell's,my main use was to be for audio production,dj'ing or any sort of thing pertaining to music.After ordering and then reading up online,ALOT of people are having problems getting the latency and/or pops skips & jumps out of their sound source.
Some say the problems lie within the Lan card,some say video card.And most importantly,Dell does not have an answer to the problem because they are not trained to understand audio type situations(Unfortunately).So...Here is where we are going to solve this thing(or try really hard because besides that...these are prett good laptops otherwise) Once i get mine in the next 3 days,im going to tell you what i did because i WILL fix it or at least try hard and fail.
Dell :: Studio And Studio XPS Laptops, Who Are They For And What Are The Primary Differences?
Apr 23, 2009 I'm interested in purchasing one of these two. Probably 15'' for the Studio or the 16'' for the Studio XPS.
I'm just a bit confused as to what the target users are, they seem very similar. From what I can see, the Studio XPS just has a better exterior and a superior display.
I intend to use the laptop for document editing, media (HDMI out to hdtv, most likely) and casual gaming. Price range is about 1300 CAD.

Dell :: Studio 1555 -vs- Studio 15 Spcial Edition
May 21, 2009I've been reading the threads for a while and wanted to get some more opinions on the 1555 vs SSE. I know the SSE is basically the 1537 with the edge to edge monitor.
I placed my order for the SSE last week with an estimated delivery date of 6/15

Dell :: Should I Return My Studio 1745 (C2D T9600) For The Studio 17 With I7 CPU?
Dec 25, 2009Right around black friday I ordered a Dell studio with the following specs listed below. It was $1778 with $649 off making an OTD price of $1212 shipped.
I see the I7 is out & I dont believe that was an option for the laptop either. There was also the 20% bing cashback deal which removes another 220 from the price (I dont quite get the math myself but hey).
I am looking at a Studio I7 with the same price but a 3rd year warranty vs my 2nd .....
Dell :: Studio XPS 1645 Or Studio 1747 ???
Nov 6, 2009I'm university student and ntb is meant to be carried almost daily (16" is ok for me), it's mainly for multimedia oriented jobs, some programming in C and Mathematica, some photoshop or even premiere (occasionaly), A LOT of movie watching. I also want it to be futureproof and well-built.
Dell XPS 1645 meets most of my criteria, but there are few things I'm unsure about...
1) after reading a couple of reviews and many posts on this forum I'm really doubtful if RGB-LED is worth the extra money. I'm not doing colour sensitive job (however I do sometimes edit RAW images in PS), but i want things on the display to look natural, especially in FullHD movies... (and I'm occasional gamer too)
Those who had honor to work with RGB-LED: would you pay for it in my position???
And just to make sure I haven't overlooked something: biggest DISadvantages of RGB-LED are supposed to be: inaccurate colors, bigger power consumption and some heat produced;
while advantages should be: 0,4" gain in size, wider gamut and (maybe) better brightness...
Do you know any more to be added?
2) I'm also considering usual Studio 17 with Core i7 720QM (almost the same config), because it should be cooler, it has numpad and place for additional hdd (I'd buy 80GB intel ssd 34nm for system while keeping stock 500GB for data, I think it's beatiful idea), but what I DISlike about studio 17 is: dimensions, weight, speakers and design (and maybe a bit worse overal built quality).
So which one do you think is better for me?
3) how does combined e-sata/usb work? Since I have a external e-sata drive I have to plug 2 cables at the moment: USB for power and e-sata... With this 2-in-1 port do I need only 1 special cable? Or is it meant to be either/or thing??? From the placement of combined e-sata/usb on the opposite side of ntb than other USBs I'd say that 1 cable should be enough,

Dell :: Studio XPS 1645 Vs Studio XPS 1647
Feb 23, 2010I am looking to get a Studio XPS 16 soon, but can't quite decide on which model to get and had a few questions...
1) What is the battery life of the 1647 (i5) compared to the 1645 (i7) assuming they have the same specs. I've read that i5's should last longer, but I really couldn't find anything comparing the two for these systems.
2) When configuring the 1645 and 1647 side-by-side with the same specs. The 1647 is about the same price as the 1645, if not more (depending on which processor selected). I thought the i5's were supposed to be less expensive than the i7's. Since they are about the same price, would it be better to go with the i7? Any reason to choose the i5 over i7?
Dell :: Studio XPS 1645 Or Studio 1557
Oct 17, 2009I noticed that the Studio 15 is pretty much the same as the Studio XPS 16 minus the RGBLED screen. I really don't know which to choose and really need some guidance from some expert people. Here's what I have in mind:

Dell :: M1530 Really Hot
May 4, 2010I've bought this laptop back in 2008. Upgraded to windows 7 in Oct 2009.

Attached is the HWmonitor graphic.
Is there more to this than just needing a laptop cooler?

Dec 29, 2008I had made the mistake of lending my XPS m1530 to a friend who is in the hospital due to cancer and she gave it back all messed up.
Most everything don't work. I can't get online, a lot of programs don't work, such as trying to right or left click in the taskbar and other places... nothing happens.
I tried system restore to before she got the computer and nothing changes.
I've ran AVG and spy bot and it found some stuff, supposedly fix them, but the problems remain. I defragged too.
So what to try next? Reformat? I don't want to if I don't have to.
