    Browsing through the UK Dell Outlet and looking at StudioXPS 16" (RGBLED) systems specifically there appears to be no details on the model of graphics card installed as there is a couple of options with that model, the ATI 3670 and the 4670....i'd be wanting the 4670.

    Am i over looking something obvious or is there a way of finding out the card fitted without phoning?

    I am in the same situation. There are 4 or 5 laptops on there that I would be interested in but cannot confirm the graphics card on the machine.

    Well I just ordered one of the cheapest 1640's from the Dell UK outlet for my sister at £480 plus VAT and it came with a 4670. Wasn't expecting it to so quite chuffed.

    I emailed them regarding a few of the models and everyone came back as a 3670 :(

    iaTa - was that a scratch and dent? it seems really cheap

    Looks like emailing them is the only way then...odd they dont display the GFX card like they do on other models.

    Did it take long for them to reply via email?

    Yeah a couple of days. usually by the time they reply its gone.
    It is odd they dont display it, i guess they hope people will buy them without realising.

    Yeah it was scratch and dent but when it arrived it had the smallest scratch I've ever seen on the lid and I've already polished it out. 500GB HD, 1080p WLED, 4GB RAM, P7350 CPU, 4670 GPU. Great price really.
