Its been 2 years, 3 months and 9 days since my last major computing addition. I’ve always wanted to get a laptop and now I actually have one. I’ve been scouting since Diwali and realised then that my laptop would be a Dell. I liked the Dell XPS M1530 (the older brother of the award winning Dell XPS M1330) but when I finally decided to place an order in February, I was told that it was unwise to do so considering that the XPS line was being “killed”. As a result I kept looking and came across the Dell Studio XPS 16.
I ordered the laptop on the 11th of February, 2009 and it arrived after an extremely delayed delivery period of 14 days on the 25th of February, 2009.

I give you Emirate Xaaron. Here’s the configuration for this laptop.
| Processor |
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8600 (2.40GHz/1066 FSB/3 MB Cache) |
| Memory online aristocort |
4GB (2 X 2GB) Dual Channel 1067MHz DDR3 SDRAM |
| Video Card | 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670 |
| LCD Panel | 16" 720p WXGA (1366×768) Anti-Glare WLED Display with 2.0MP webcam |
| Hard Drive claims accutane atlanta |
320GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive |
| Operating System | Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64 bit Edition (English) |
| Wireless Card | Intel Wi-Fi Link 5300 (802.11a/g/n) Half Mini-card |
The laptop has a backlit keyboard which is pretty cool. I thought I’d never use it but I find it to be quite useful. It has Sensible Vision’s FastAccess which is pretty neat though it has one issue. It takes forever to boot the inbuilt web camera so on boot, I need to type the password
Also, after using the laptop for 6 odd hours, it does become a tad bit warm
It has pretty good sound quality and the 720p screen is crisp!
It is also important to note that I moved to MTNL Triband and the change of ISP feels great. The plan is a bit restrictive but I get good speeds and I have unlimited data transfers during the night. During the day, I can download 1.5GB a month. I also go a Netgear DG834 for wireless access for my router. Actually, I got it before I even ordered the laptop
Tonight I set up dual monitors just for fun. The desktop is downloading files on my uTorrent queue while the laptop is being used to write this post, among doing other things. I’ve installed UltraMon and tried to make good use of the extra screen real estate and I must say, this does feel a lot more comfortable. I can even watch TV and work at the same time
I’ll leave you with a few snaps. Enjoy.

I just finished watching Slumdog Millionaire, a movie that was recommended by Volv a few days ago and I must say, it didn’t disappoint. I loved it
It seems it will take 3-4 weeks to encash. Are you sure we’re not in 1985?
Something held it up! It actually rocked back and is resting on the building on the other side. A 64 mt tower leaned forward 10 degrees and actually rocked backwards again.. that’s amazing. I have no idea where it got all that force to counter act the momentum! (well we have estimates but meh).
It was fun.
