Dell XPS Desktop with 11th Gen Intel Core CPU Refresh Coming Soon To Malaysia

Aside from Alienware Aurora R12, Dell has also confirmed that there will be another desktop model that is already on its way to Malaysia with the newly announced 11th Gen Intel Core processors, codenamed Rocket Lake-S. Once again, it will not be an all-new model though but instead, the model is actually a refreshed variant of XPS Desktop.

While we will only know the full specs list once the model is listed on Dell Malaysia’s website towards the end of this month, the refreshed XPS Desktop can be fitted with up to Intel Core i9-11900KF. The general global specs sheet also listed graphics option of up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 although if you prefer to have an AMD graphics card instead, the option is somehow limited to Radeon RX 5700 XT.

Other than that, the XPS Desktop can also support up to 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 solid state drive and 2TB 7200rpm SATA hard drive. Together with the ability to support Wi-Fi 6, the model could also be fitted with a power supply unit of up to 500W depending on markets and hardware configurations.

In Malaysia, the base model comes with an 11th Gen Intel Core i5 chip alongside 8GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card for RM 3,699. We will keep you posted once the refreshed XPS Desktop appears on Dell Malaysia’s website, so stay tuned.

Dell G15 Gaming Laptop Coming To Our Shores This April; Price Starts At RM 3799

Dell generally has two gaming laptop groups under its wing with the premium segment being the Alienware m-Series while there is also the G Series which is being offered at a much lower price point. This exact reason made the newly revealed Dell G15 rather interesting.

This is because the G15 carries a new physical design that is skewed towards Alienware Legend design identity rather than what Dell has implemented on the current G Series. Just take a look at the laptop when put side-by-side with the Alienware m15 R4 which has just made its way to Malaysia recently:

 

Based on general specs alone though, the G15 seems to be positioned as an entry-level gaming laptop. According to the official websites of Dell China and Hong Kong which are the two initial markets for the new gaming laptop, it is equipped with Intel Core i5-10200H and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics alongside 15.6-inch 120Hz Full HD display.

When we reached out to Dell Malaysia, the company has confirmed that the G15 is expected to arrive in Malaysia sometime in April. The base model for our market will carry similar specs from China and Hong Kong that we mentioned above, alongside 8GB of RAM and a RM 3,799 price tag.

There are reports which said that the G15 will be made available with more powerful CPU options, RTX 30 Series graphics, and 360Hz panel but naturally, the full hardware options can only be known when the laptop goes live on Dell Malaysia’s website. We’ll keep you posted once that takes place, so stay tuned.

Dell No Longer Selling Products Through Retail Stores In Malaysia

 

Dell has decided to stop selling its products through retail stores in Malaysia. As a result of the new move which also affects Singapore, Dell products and services can only be obtained directly from the company from now on.

We first got the wind of this through an anonymous tipster who provided us with an internal announcement that was sent to Dell retail partners in Malaysia and Singapore late last month. According to the announcement, the decision to pull out from the retail segment of both markets was taken after the company review its presence in several regions throughout the world.

Hence, the company now no longer accepts any new orders from local retailers. Even though this move is effective immediately, the announcement also noted that Dell will continue to honour any existing contractual obligations with its retail partners and customers.

We have since verified the information with Dell, who has sent us the brief statement below:

Dell Technologies has announced plans to transition out of the retail market in Singapore and Malaysia. Customers will still have access to the full complement of our products and services through Dell direct.

This doesn’t mean that Dell products have immediately disappeared from local retail stores though. You can still see plenty of them around at the moment but if you are looking for products that the company have just launched for Malaysia such as the Inspiron laptops with 11th Intel Gen processors, they are now only available through Dell Malaysia’s website.
