Dell :: Zagg Invisible Shield For The SXPS 16no Leather
Jan 2, 2010It looks like Zagg sells the invisible shield for the SXPS with leather but not without?
Has anyone found an invisible shield for the Dell Studio XPS 1645 without leather?

I noticed ZAGG doesn't have a coverage solution ready for the Studio 1555. Since i want to protect my Studio 1555, i contacted them via chat to request coverage for the Studio.
They gave me a link to the following page> http://www.zagg.com/hotgadgets/index.php
When there is enough demand for the coverage they'll add it.
invisible shield on a vaio premium carbon lid and removed it later? The only reason I was asking was because I was installing one of the shields on my iphone and a small part became affixed to my desk. When I tried to take it off, it took the paint off the desk as well. Not sure if the premium carbon design is painted on the lids... so I was wondering if I would have be facing similar issues if I put it on and decided to take it off later..

If you own an Envy 15 (and even if you don't necessarily want a Zagg Invishield) please consider clicking over here to Zagg.com and fill out the form, requesting that they create an invisishield for the HP Envy 15 notebook. I've used the Invisishield for my macbook pro, my Vaio P, its a great protection solution. I really want one to keep my Envy Beats scratch free. If you're willing please post below to confirm you've sent in a request to Zagg.
Anybody fitted the InvisibleShield to their XPS 1640, your thoughts please.

For some reasons it does not show mouse cursor. during installation it doesn't show cursor and after installation it is not showing cursor at all.
I installed dell touch pad drivers with all other important chipset drivers but still cursor disappear.
Strange thing is, when i plugin external mouse then cursor appears and when i remove external mouse then again cursor disappear magically.
I sent ZAGG an inquiry to see if they are planning on making an InvisibleShield for the dv5.
YES THEY ARE!
They are actually having people send their dv5's in so they can use them as templates for the final product. I'm sending mine in tomorrow, which sucks because I just got the laptop in the mail today. But I can handle living without it for a week and a half since they are paying for everything except the shipping to their facility in Utah. Totally worth $20 for the shipping and insurance considering it's $14.95 for a custom order, $10 for installation and $39.95 for most of the laptop InvisibleShields. Plus they are installing it and working with that stuff is kind of a pain (I put it on my iPhone).
You might be able to get in on this if you contact their customer support. You would have to get your laptop there by Monday of next week (Jan 12th, 2009).
Anyone have any pics of their Studio XPS 16 w/out the leather option?
View 9 Replies View RelatedSeems that if it was it would be easy to fabricate a replacement piece with holds/vents for DIY or to have Dell swap in a new vent friendly design. I haven't got my xps 16 yet- Is the consensus that with undervolting and a pad its fine?
View 4 Replies View RelatedDell recently added an option to get the Studio XPS 16 without the leather on the side (the leather's now 40 extra bucks). Anyone have pics who has bought this version?
View 10 Replies View RelatedThis was just pointed out as a side note in another thread...the Studio XPS series laptops now have an additional lid option:
Obsidian Black High Gloss finish, which is a separate option from the Obsidian Black with Leather Accent, and the Merlot Red with Leather Accent.
Is Dell actually selling this model without the leather now? If so, that's great news .....
i will get one if i own a ipad,but not now
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm about to purchase a Vaio Z (sweeet!), with a config from the Sony website. They advertise the extended battery, but is that the VGP-BPL11 / S11 or X11?
here are the batteries.
I would think it's the middle ground battery, the X11 being some kind of special James Bond-type add on, but I'd like a confirmation if anyone is able to provide. I tried to contact their support but it's just not getting through.
Furthermore, are these all compatible with the VGPCKZ2.AE case? Looks perfect for my needs.
This is interesting... a friend of mine just tried to order the SXPS with the i7-820 processor and got denied by Dell. Apparently, the 1645 has been fully discontinued, and Dell will no longer be placing the i7-820 processor in any SXPS form factor. They quoted that due to hardware and power issues as the reason behind discontinuing the 1645 (and replacing it with the 1647) and killing i7-820 support. The sales rep said the only offering will be the Studio series for the i7-820.
As a 1645 owner with the i7-820, this is kinda scary that this laptop has been discontinued this quickly as well as the offering of the 820 series chip. We ended up calling a second time, and another sales rep confirmed the same story.
Anyone get similar information from Dell on this? I'm also wondering if this is a "Dell Canada" thing...
here are my questions:
1. What's the best way to clean the polished black plastic? I know they're prone to finger prints. I also have compressed air...is that ok for cleaning the keys and stuff?
2. Does the blue LED on the power cord annoy the out of anyone else? Anyone got any ideas on removing it? Just wondering...
3. I have 4GB DDR3 RAM. There were were options to upgrade to six and eight GB, but Dell always charges too much for RAM and I decided I could do it myself with premium RAM rather than the junk they use. My question is, I hear there's only two dim slots, so what are my upgrade options? Would 2 x 4GB DDR3 sticks work?
4. I plug my HDMI cord from my TV to my computer and it displays the picture just fine. Vista recognizes the new monitor and works well. Problem is, I can't get it to play sound through the cord. I've tried going into the sound settings and saw that there is a grayed out option for NVIDIA HDMI OUTPUT under the playback tab (screenshot below). How could the computer be recognizing the cord but the sound options say it isn't? Its frustrating because it means the HDMI port is almost useless for me.
Its been 2 years since my last decent lappie, an HP dv9000t C2D t5500..... well I finally had need meet opportunity meet my uber picky tastes.
that and AW never released a black m15x those arses.
Main specs in my sig, scheduled delivery date 5/13
SSD aftermarket of course, fcuk jmicron controlled ssd's FTL
I already know Im gunna love EVERYTHING as hela pimp except the following:
I'm probably gonna buy a SXPS 16 tomorrow or something but I was wondering a fethings and hoped you guys could answer.
1. Is the SXPS 16 uncomfortably hot? If yes, do you think undervolting would make it more bearable? Like a noticeable difference?
2. Is it worth to spend the extra $350 for the ATI 4670 and RGBLED screen? Or I can split it, is it worth to spend $100 for the 4670, or is it worth to spend $250 for the RGBLED screen? And if possible where could I find a cheaper way to get those 2 or one of them? Like a reseller or something. (Sorry that question is long and kinda confusing I guess)
Im getting severely annoyed with Dell now! My order has been in 'pre-production' for 12 days now! Im sick of the constant 'your EDD is 25/2' 'everything is fine' 'your order will be delivered on or before the EDD' from the pretty much non-english speaking Dell reps
Im getting very close to cancelling my order now! My only issue with that is, are there any decent alternatives that you can buy off the shelf? Or at least ones that will be delivered within a week?
A few days ago, I placed an order for the SXPS 13 by going to the direct configuration link on Dells website. I had read a lot of reviews and done my research, and it seemed like the perfect fit for me. I'm starting college this summer and need something that packs a lot of power into a smaller size since I'm majoring in engineering. I also do a lot with music and some of that software can be a real powerhog.
Now after I placed my order I began to read through the SXPS 13 owners lounge thread to look at the pics and just get an idea of what to expect. After reading through the a good portion of the thread, I'm starting to question whether or not I should stick with it. It won't ship for a while since the hard drives aren't available at the moment, so I have a while to change/cancel if I decide to.
So overall, what have your general impressions of the laptop been? Would you reccomend it to a friend? Anything I should be keep an eye out for?
I ordered my SXPS 16 a few days ago. Is there really enough bloatware that it's that important to reformat once I get my laptop, or will simply uninstalling via the Programs & Features menu be sufficient to get rid of the crap I don't want?
Another question: When I get my free Win7 upgrade DVD in October, will it be advisable to reformat then (and can you reformat via an upgrade disk?) or will simply doing an upgrade install of Windows 7 be just fine?
I'd rather avoid the hassle of doing any reformatting, but if bloatware is that big of an issue, then I probably should.
i want to here different type of opinions. (helping a friend with his SXPS 16" which he will get from DELL Solution center)
# is 2GB DDR3 enough for playing DX10 games on a 32.bit Vista home ??? (Bioshock on medium settings)..
# or is it better to install 3GB (single channel) for Vista 32.bit then 2GB dual channel ???
For 2 months I been having trouble with my CD-ROM ... every time I insert a disc it wont read and sounds like a dying weedwacker !
First time, dell sent tech with a replacement drive ... that didn't work so the tech called dell and recommended another a drive swap and a replacement mobo... so when the parts came in the tech got lazy and didn't want to do the mobo swap ... (understandable the SXPS 13 got a lot of screws lol), I didn't care how he did it , just get it working
And so he did, I was able to play a DVD and that was good enough for me, so later that day I went to install Microsoft Home & Student '07 and the I still having the same problem !!!!!
So I got a screwdriver and went in myself, and made sure it was probably aligned with the connectors and was in place ... which it was so I don't know what's wrong with it ... I spent a couple hours making sure it wasn't software related and it's not .... and this was a month and a half ago
I'm an Engineering student and work 2 jobs and so I don't have time to deal with this B.S. and forgot about it and now I got part of a project that I got to do ... I got no word and powerpoint !
Now the first 2 attempts I had with dell to correct this issue was B.S. the reps wanted to take control of my computer ... I did, went to the bathroom and came back .... This Bi*ch was on my Facebook page ! ... I polity told her that I had class and will be dealing with this another time
I so fed up with this machine, before this I had:
2 keyboard replacements
1 palmrest replacement
1 Lid/screen replacement ... They promise to upgrade to an LED screen and arctic white but never the LED
And to top it all off, I think my suck a** wireless card just crapped out on me ... it won't work, It keeps dropping the connection and won't refresh itself
I'm at the point to I want a system replacement ... I rally don't want too but I think I got a Lemon, I should I let them fix what's wrong or should I ask for a replacement
Is this even enough to warrant a replacement ... they mite just give me a 1640 ... the only con I have with that is it's size but hey ... whatever
On the front of teh laptop there are 4 icons:
Disc Access
Bluetooth
WiFi
What's the 4th one?
i just got my laptop yesterday. Just a question, how do I know whether all my drivers are up to date. Is there a driver check tool ......
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo a few days ago I tried to boot up my machine and it did nothing after the BIOS screen. I had to hold the power button to get it do shut off. After a few minutes I tried to reboot and Vista tried to fix the problem which it indicated it couldn't. So I tried to do a system restore and it failed. In fact it failed on every point I tried.
The next day the system seemed to be running normally so I just figured it was a fluke. Then the next day Vista booted but I had no desktop icons, all programs initialized with errors and nothing was responding. So I rebooted and backed up my data.
I then downloaded Active Hard Disk Monitor and was shocked to see my Raw read error rate was 57% and my seek error rate was 66%! So I contacted Dell tech support and was instructed to run their diagnostics. The initial test indicated an inverter cable issue but the HDD passed all tests.
So my question is shoudl I be concerend about the SMART feedback info or should I rely on Dells diagnostics? My concern is that their diagnostics may only flag a problem if the drive is really close to death not just on its way. I plan on reinstalling the OS but don't want to spend the effort if this drive is going to be on its way out.
Whenever my laptop is on a flat service such as a desk I get incredible vibration and distortion from what seems to be the subwoofer in front, even at low volumes. Is this normal? Seems kind of silly...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm getting my SXPS 16 soon and I know it gets really hot. So can you give me the best cooler for it at a resonable budget?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI buy the SXPS 16 with a 4670 the minute it is released in Canada and configure it to as closely to my current config as possible.
When it comes in, I manually swap the HDDs from my current SXPS 16 to the new one.
Would this allow me to get around installing Windows and all my programs? Once I swap the HDDs and turn on the new laptop, will it boot up as if it was the old one, but with newer hardware?
And I'd just like to vent my frustration that I can't order the SXPS with the 4670 and a T9800/T9900 in Canada yet
Seems like all you read are all the negative posts about the Studio XPS 16. Well I think its by far the greatest notebook I have ever owned, and I have owned quite a few in my time.
You never see any threads dedicated to how good a notebook is just how bad. Let this thread discuss ONLY GOOD THINGS about the Dell Studio XPS 16 series
