I got a laptop from Dell Outlet that has an engineering sample cpu in it;
. . .
UPDATE:
- Called Dell Tech Support, opened a case w/ a manager
- Was offered a replacement:
- I was sent a Studio 14 (1458) w/ Core i5-ES (1st Gen) w/ AMD 540v GPU, 4 gigs RAM, 14" 1600x900 display etc.
- They offered an XPS 15 L502 w/ Core i5-2410M w/ Nvidia GTX 525M, 4 gigs RAM, 15.6" 1366x768 display.
They will send the replacement unit and attach a return tag in the box - they said I can use both for a few days and see which one I like. I like the XPS' spec much, much better (obviously) but the one sticking point is the lousy screen - I compared the Studio 14's screen to my wife's UL80VT and it doesn't even compare, the brightness, viewing angles, etc.
I really like my studio 14, it works well, has a beautiful screen, but it'd be nice to have something (relatively) game-worthy as well: now, once I get the XPS, would it be possible to get the RGBLED display panel separately and upgrade the display myself?
