    Hi,
    I am thinking of buying a Dell Studio XPS 16 or Dell Studio 17 and get it shipped via USPS Priority mail (International). But I need the dimension of the box that ships the laptop to calculate the postage.
    Can someone please tell me the dimensions of the box? It'll be a great help to decide :)

    PS:
    Other considerations
    HP HDX-16t & HP-HDX-18t ;)

    Thanks in Advance : :)

    ??? :confused:

    Are you buying via ebay or private seller? Or, is a relative/friend purchasing for you from dell.com, and shipping to you?
    As, dell.com USA ~ doesn't ship internationally.

    I was pleasantly surprised at the (small) size of the box for this laptop, compared to the refrigerator-size boxes Dell laptops came into years ago.

    But the large boxes of yesteryear contained lots of swag in addition to the laptop. Remember when laptop bags/sleeves, faux-leather disc binders, complimentary mouse pads, and stickers were included? Those were the days. :)

    Indeed, those were the days... My XPS 1530's box was larger and did include many of those extras. But I'm sure that all of that would have fit in a smaller box, if packed properly.
