If you own a Dell Studio XPS 1645 notebook and if you’ve noticed your laptop tends to throttle its own performance when running CPU-intensive apps, your long wait for support is over: after admitting a problem way back in February, Dell has finally issued a fix.
According to Dell, the problem is related to the 90 watt power adapter that shipped with the XPS 1645 line. Dell’s now replacing those power adapters with beefier 130 watt adapters, as well as issuing a BIOS update for the notebook to help fix the problem, which is available for download now.
Supposedly, both the adapter and the BIOS, in tandem, solve the problems that have plagued XPS 1645 owners for so long.
It’s long past time. A quick site search reveals that we were writing about the Dell Studio XPS 1645 line’s issues with power management way back in December, but it’s apparently taken the last seven months to come up with a fix. We’re glad to see a solution, but this is not the way to keep your customers loyal, Dell.
