Take the drive out and access it from another system if possible...?

Got this email today, looks like the revisions were made.
Update you guys when I receive it.
I posted my 3DMark scores previously, inside the 3DMark Score thread and plan to compare them to the XPS 15 scores I get.

**Was I dreaming or did I hear backlit wasn't available anymore?
I told my rep that my current S-XPS 1645 is backlit and he went right ahead and changed my incoming keyboard to backlit**

Also :'( no slot load!

Hey The 5730 outperforms GT 435M imo!!!!!!

just curious. When they give you the xps15 as a replacement for the sxps 16 Do you get a brand new warranty since its a completely different system?

They might if necessary... and the warranty also Should* be extended as there are no refurbished xps 15's atm!(imo)

No ! from what I heard, the warranty on the previous laptop would be continued, no extension in it.

This is correct.

I just got my quote today. My old laptop cost me $1525(current market rates = 69K INR) and the proposed new one as per their valuation is also 69K.
I just checked out the Dell website, customized with the same specifications and the cart showed it as 46K INR.
I wonder why was a 46K piece was priced at 69K for a replacement ?
I sent an email stating this and attached a screen shot of it. Yet to get a reply.
Any thoughts about this ???



@Warranty extension ... I found a year warranty and accidental damage cover in the new quoted list when my old piece warranty would end by Jan 2011. So now, I ain't sure about my earlier comment about warranty continuation thing. May be warranty would be either 1 year or the warranty continuation of the previous piece, subject to which ever is longer.

Ok, got a reply, after pressing about the issue, what they said was the maximum price of all components can be 69K. The one they mentioned was the base version, and all other upgrades up to the price can be made.
I told them that I would configure it on my own on the Dell website and send a link of it, with the restraint of the price. She kind of agreed to it, and asked me to send a copy of my wish list. []

Warranty replacement covers an EQUIVALENT or better system, its not about price but about the faces that the spec of every item needs to be the same or better.
