I just ordered a hard drive from DELL website, and I got an email " Dell Order Has Been Acknowledged for Dell Purchase ID: ******* ".
the content says "Thank you for your recent order. It has been received and is being reviewed."
About to order, finally settled on the SXPS 16, here are the specs.
Anything I should change last minute?

I was very excited to order a dell vostro 1520 online, and i got a great deal on it. i ordered the laptop on the 14th of this month, and according to the email they sent me, it was supposed to be delivered by the 30th... which is pretty late but since i was getting a pretty good deal IMO, i thought "whatever, as long as its here before may 4th".
however, earlier today i got a call from dell telling me that they wont be able to build the laptop since they dont make them anymore.... ??? couldnt they have told me this EARLIER like say, LAST WEEK?
the dell vostro 1520 is STILL listed on their website (dell.com and click on small business) along with many other laptops. i dont know what to do at this point. obviously i will have to order another laptop, and it will come VERY late according to my schedules and time constraints... but which dell laptop can i order and which shouldnt i even bother with since they dont build it anymore and apparently are too lazy to update the website?
A couple of minutes after I start up my laptop in the morning I get this alert:
"Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed".
This is followed by my audio going out; an alert pops up in the tray that Audio Has Stopped Working. I can turn it back on but this keeps happening I have all the latest drivers).
I just sent back a lemon of a XPS 1340 to Dell, got the confirmation that they received my return, and they noted the credit will appear on my statement up to 30 business days.....................

I've rolled back to the July 8th drivers to see if it happens again.
My Inspiron 5110 laptop will not boot. It is displaying the Dell logo and the progress bar loads about 25%, then it stops. F2, F12 buttons are not working. Fn key + power button is not working. What can i do? The warranty has expired.

"Logon Process Initialization Failure
Interactive logon process initialization has failed.
Please consult the event log for more details"
As i can't even start up my computer, I can't view the event log ....

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to upgrade the operating system on my laptop. Preinstalled Windows 7 x64 Home Basic, and I update to Windows 8 x64 Professional. At the end of the installation process hangs and all I see on the screen - this is the logo in the center of the screen, a few words at the bottom and five frozen in one position points that previously ran in a circle.
I repeated the installation several times, but all of these attempts have ended the same way.
Have any of you have a similar situation and how you solved it?
I have a laptop - Dell Inspiron N5110.
I'm using Dell Inspiron N5110 and recently did fan cleaning on my laptop. Once I've completed the fan cleaning, Â my laptop doesn't detect my charger. No error message appears and my laptop only can be switched on by using battery power.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy dell xps fan is running constantly without running any heavy programs like games and stuff.
Don't know what the problem is the processes in the task manager also don't show any large processes. Updated my BIOS and cleaned the vents still no change.
And all the games which i try to play either lag or don't start up. So uninstalled and updated the Nvidia drivers still no change.
My xps was normal 2 days ago and now its acting weird!!

I'm reformatting my HD and it gets stuck on 31 of 32 in the cleanup stage. I had this happen last time I did a reformat but I forgot how I fixed it. I have an Aspire 5742 using Windows 7.

I am using the Acer eRecovery discs (Windows 7 64 bit) on my Aspire V3-571. On multiple attempts at a recovery the process hangs at Step 41 of 60 when trying to load the OOBE (Out Of Box Experience) file. A second set of discs provided by Acer produces the same results. I have an extra 1TB WD SATA HD that I have swapped into the laptop for troubleshooting purposes. No joy there. The recovery process appears to run normally until it stalls at Step 41. It has hung at that point for an hour with nothing happening.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just bought a brand new yoga 2 11 only 10 days ago. I used it this afternoon, closed it up and walked away for a couple hours. This evening I tried to wake it up, and it's stuck on the Lenovo screen. After a while, it said Preparing automatic repair. It spun for 10 minutes and the screen went black. I forced shutdown and walked away, completely frustrated. Now if I try to reboot, all I see is the Lenovo screen. Nothing is happening. What can I do?!
View 3 Replies View RelatedCame to a point when I should completely restore the OS on my Acer Aspire 4752. Neither through Alt+F10 nor through eRecovery am I able to get around a Notice with the following "please complete operating system setup process before doing system recovery". There is only one option of this notice, that is to ok it and then the current Windows 7 Home Premium OS starts and I am not able to get out of this viscous circle. The OS works and is completely set up, so I do not understand what am I prompted to do. I see a number of postings out there, but no solution. Local Acer does not seem to know anything about the problem nor it's existence.

I did mainly want a notebook for school work, online video, pictures, storage. But my friend got me to play COD on his notebook yesterday and I really liked it! I was considering this laptop might keep me open to play video games in the future? Or even video editing?

I did set my budget to $850 but if I can get a decent notebook like this for $200 more might as well save up a little bit more.
Just got my email saying my order was delayed. It was supposed to be here today now its the 2/23. It seems like almost everyone in this forum is getting their order delayed. Dell must really be short handed or short of supply.

View 10 Replies View RelatedIf I ordered a Studio XPS 16 yesterday and I want to change some parts on it, I can just call Dell up and request that right?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo Dell is taking back my Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop b/c of heat issues and a complete line of stuck pixels on the screen. However, since there is nothing else on the market that I really like,
I am thinking about ordering a new one with the P8700 processor instead of the T9550. How much reduction in heat output could I expect from the P8700 and what type of performance decrease am I looking at? I read the thread below regarding the difference in the two processors but I'm more curious about the real world difference.
Also, should I opt for the 1GB of video RAM or the 512 MB version (and will the 1GB increase heat output)? I opted for the SSD option for heat reduction as well.
So I plan to take advantage of Dell deals and order a 15. I've got it configured with the 1GB ATI card.
What I can't decide is between better screen, or better processor. I have to come in under $1,000 shipped, and can't have both.

Are the products sold through the Dell Outlet as good as ordering brand new? I am interested in a Studio 15 laptop, but a new one is beyond my budget.
A previously ordered new can be bought in the outlet for as little as about $650 or so. What am I losing by buying from the outlet rather than new?
My order status is now 'shipped' and i have been provided with a tracking number. Once on the UPS tracking page, i can't work out what my shipment reference is. Any ideas?
Either:-
-My Customer Number
-Order Number
-Tracking Number
I was wondering what is the easiest way to cancel an order with Dell? Is there any way to do this online, through chat or email?
If for some reason it ships, can I refuse shipment?
Order details:
Model: SXPS 16
Order date: 1/26
Status: in 'production' with an est. of 2/12.
Here's the deal:
I saw the Best Buy thread and decided that my order with the RGBLED, Bluetooth and 2.8ghz is simply not worth the extra $1,200 to me.
The fact is I really don't 'need' those features, and after looking at the savings and hearing how good the WLED screen is, I decided I want to cancel.
My order is currently in
Phase 3In Production
When I call dell they tell me i cannot cancel the order and i have to wait until they delivery it and then call then and they will process the return and a full refund
Just trying to get an overall sense, it's hard to tell whether people are really happy with A07/130w.
Also seems there are some other lingering issues (heat, heat vent
