@JkaliJ I got mine with a Vista Reinstall disk. Dunno if this changed with Windows 7.
PUT A PICTURE OF THE GUY INFRONT OF THE WEB CAM!!! it wor……NM ( -.-)
go with the 9 cell. on max performance i get only about an hour and half on idle with the 6 cell.
I use strictly rocket dock and rainmetter.
i have the 9 cell battery (i accidentally got it and its to big.. i dont like it) and on high performance its about 1.5 – 2 hours. on energy save it may say its only 2h 15mins but its actually like 4-5 hours with brightness down and stuff like that
Dude, what’s with the love affair with the Dell dock? Haven’t you ever heard of ObjectDock or Rocketdock? They’ve been around for years. you wasted a lot of time on the Dell dock. Your other review videos were better than this one.
@Eggmaster5944 NO
and why are you going INTO highschool in march?!?!
how is the battery life on this? just average and gaming if possible
Unspool is correct.
XPS (Heavy Gaming) Line has been discontinued and is now been bowed out for the Alienware Line.
Studio XPS is higher performance with style.
Anyone who was around for the original Dell XPS machines knew they were pretty much a big brick with lots of lights, they weren’t the prettiest things, but they were monsters for gaming.
@madiisamazingg
The Studio XPS is the new line of XPS. They don’t make a “just XPS” laptops anymore. (as far as I know)
Have you fixed the problem with the BIOS patch?
The bios patch is A07 if you haven’t can you private message me if it fixed your problem I am getting this laptop with 8gbs and Intel i7 so yeah need to make sure it works
inspiron = everyday computing
studio = high performance
xps = gaming
studio xps = high performance + gaming =
MONSTER MACHINE
@Eggmaster5944 It would.
Hi I’m going into highschool and I was wondering if this would be a good gaming and school laptop?
whats the difference between just a dell xps and a dell studio xps?
@JkaliJ Ok, thx for getting back to me.
For some reason, the BIOS on this laptop throttles it under load, using trick after trick to stop it taking more than 90w from the arguably inadequate power supply that comes with this machine.
At worst, it can throttle clear down to only 12.5% of its potential.There is a huge issue and dell has agreed to fix it that has been 4 months this system is preforming far less then a i5 processor if you want more info just google Dell throttle issue and it will bring up a150 page of users with the prob
Plz what is that wallpaper, it’s so cool
If it doesnt come with your notebook, you can simply call and ask for disks. They should send it free of charge and via overnight. I have had this experience.
Hey, Great tutorials. I was just wondering, does Dell give you a Windows 7 reinstall disk? If they do give them out anymore what happens if your computer is formatted or whatever.
Ok, I’ve been planning on getting this laptop for a while but I’ve been waiting for a bit. I’m glad I waited because you can now buy it with i7 processor. However you can no longer get it with a blu-ray player. I was very disapointed when I saw this as this would have been a large part of what I would use the laptop for. Does any one know if you can still get a R/W Blu-ray drive and just instal it you self some how? any advice would be appreciated. thanks..
Is getting a desktop not an option?
i would go with the xps 1645 – not only does it have a better screen, but it also has backlit keys and can run any game you’d ever want to run on highest settings (w/ the 1gb card) smoothly. seriously like look up xps 1645 gaming you’ll be wowed
Hey there, I was wondering do u recommend dell xsp 16 for gaming or ASUS G73JH-A1? I am really debating on which one to get cuz I game a lot. Any advices or info will be very useful. Thx
Aion FTW. Nice review.
