It took approx. 5 working days to deliver the product to your doorstep. I suggest you call them up or check the status through dell web site. This will make sure your order has been put into production.

I got my XPS M1210 in 5 working days. Order on Monday afternoon, got it on friday morning.

With this ultralight machine, it makes my trip easy than before, not like last time carry a 15.4" 2.9kg laptop which is quite tired after walk for certain distance. Although the XPS screen is small, but no problem after extend it with a 19" monitor at work. Solve the problem for long hours usage.

anyone tried weighing how heavy xps is??
i mean after all the upgrades, like gfx, webcam, hdd, c2d??
1.9kg is for base config rite?


btw i heard frm my fren tt u r unable to format/partition ur hdd for dell laptops... is tt true??? so absurd to me...

 

[subisisniki]

You can get rid of the following:

1. Microsoft Works 7.0

2. Antivirus and replace with AVG

3. Network Assistant

AVG is free all the way.

then i can juz use this for 15 mths first... unless of course, the success rate is better for other free antivirus software
