The model has changed, but this is an amazing laptop anyway, but it with confidence you won't regret it

When I bought this laptop, I am sure that it was "New". I saw several that were used or refurbished and I did not want one of them. I do not recall seeing similar 'warnings' when I bought this product. In addition, it was over $500. I specifically wanted a Windows 7 machine and they are becoming hard to find. I've heard of too many issues with Windows 8. This machine has an Intel i3 chip and I would have preferred an i5 but could not find a Win 7 & i5 machine and I did not want to order one from Dell.. I'm satisfied with the laptop. My wife has a similar laptop that is 18 months old and she has not had any problems with it. Today, Dell still has a good name and is reliable.

It's an amazing lap top for it's age. How ever Dell made the parts inside permanet you can not upgrade anything. It has one USB port which suprised me for the year built. It has the old style printer port. Now with windows XP expiring in April, I use FoxFire browser. I mainly use it for home part of my home security system.

When I bought it, mine was at 20%... now I'd say it's on 80% compared to my old XPS 1330.... I've had it for 5 months now.

I second the Microcenter recommendation. Mine shipped today, $419 after shipping...it's the blue XP, 120GB version.

By "this model" do you mean the Blue XP 120gb model? Here's a cut and paste from Acer's website: Genuine Windows XP Home Edition; Intel Atom Processor N270 (512KB L2 cache, 1.60GHz, 533MHz FSB); 1GB (512MB onboard/512MB SODIMM slot) DDR2 533 SDRAM; 120GB hard drive, multi-in-one card reader, SD Card reader; 8.9" WSVGA (1024 x 600) TFT display, Acer CrystalBrite Technology; Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950; 802.11b/g WLAN, 10/100 LAN, webcam; sapphire blue chassis Has 3 usb ports - the memory can be upgraded by swapping a 1gb sodimm for the 512mb that's installed, for a total of 1.5gb.

Would love to help you Bill, but the Dell i17r-1316slv computer that I thought I was buying ended up being a completely different computer. In addition, it was not new as stated but refurbished. I am in the process of sending it back for a refund. Good luck!Bonnie

There is a technical manual available as a PDF (search "Dell XPS 8700 Desktop Manual" and you will find it). It is called an "Owner's Manual," but contains no info on using the computer's features, just on working inside it, what is where, how to remove components, etc. I know of no more "general" owner's manual.

Honestly, no idea. I don't it, though (also, this laptop is now a little outdated, I suggest something newer.)

I downloaded the manual from asus. There's no mention of a memory upgrade.XP will around for a few more years. Too many computers have XP for it to go away any time soon.

Sounds about right. I can check more accurately later but it has a full 17.3 screen I wonder if you're looking at specs for the 15" version

It is good working order and I have not had any problems. Only problem, XP is now out. Recommend you get a Windows 7 unit.

Waiting, I am wondering if I am falling for a lot of hype or will this be a top laptop. The best buy version did not impress me, I hope this version will. No news on release date but you can bet its a foul up with hw or sw. Lets hope software.

None, this comes with all the necessary cables and screws. The xps seems like a pretty standard case so it will work with this.

I got mine from a private seller on Amazon and had to transfer the warranty. The seller provided the details required for transfer. I had to get to the dell warranty website and submit the transfer request. You will need to contact the seller directly to obtain the transfer of warranty details (Original Owner FirstName, LastName, Zip, and Service Tag for your Dell XPS 15)

I cancelled my order. Bought a 120gb xp model at microcenter for 350. I can live without the longer battery life and bigger hd.. I needed it to have it as I am going away this weekend.

Yes, I ordered from Amazon and received it on 8/12/2014, the revision number is A02, Dell starts from A00 so this is third revision. So far so good, no problems yet with charging or connectivity.
