    Here is my story:

    I ordered a XPS 16 scratch and dent from dell outlet few weeks ago for $750 after taxes/coupon:

    P8700
    4gb
    500gb hdd
    Full hd
    Blu-ray RW
    Ati-1GB
    6cell

    anyways..orders kept getting delayed and delayed (found that strange since they are already built). Today I found out the order got "changed" and they reinstated a new order for what it look like a brand new system (for same price!) plus the upgraded to next day shipping Here is the new system:

    Looks like 9Cell battery as well, and bluetooth.

    You should call to have them send you a new 130W adapter though, to replace that 90W.

    Tell them you need one and just give them a link to the thread with Dell_Bill on it...... They shouldn't give you hassle for the request.. it is getting pretty infamous now..

    Just say it's the fix to the widely known throttling problem.
