Dell :: Studio XPS 16 @ Bestbuy

Jan 14, 2010

Quick question, does anybody know what is the screen resolution of the Studio XPS 16 from BestBuy?

If its the old xps 16 it can be 1366x768. If not it can be either 1680x900 or 1920x1080.

This specification is not displayed in their website, it only says it has a 15.6'' HD LED-backlit screen..

Dell :: Warranty & Bestbuy

Feb 23, 2010

My brother is in the states and will be there for one week. I don't have the time to purchase a laptop online as it will not arrive in time, before he leaves the country. My question is:

Can you buy extended warranty from Dell on a laptop that you buy in let's say Bestbuy? I need the Dell warranty because I can transfer it to Iceland and the company here will service the computer. Can't buy the Bestbuy warranty, cant transfer that

Dell :: Question About Bestbuy's Studio XPS From Non-American!

Mar 26, 2009

I'm going to get someone to pick up a laptop for me in the US on a trip from Europe but this means that I'm limited to whatever is in stores with no scope for customisation.

Would anyone be able to answer the following questions about the Studio XPS laptops that Bestbuy sell?

-Screen - as far as I can tell they sell the basic model so I'm assuming this is a CCFL rather than an LED on the 13 and the 16? Anyone have this screen? Is it really that much worse than the WLED version? .....

Dell :: Inpiron 1764Review (bought At BestBuy)

Feb 28, 2010

After spending months, I finally talked the woman into buying a laptop. I am a decent power user, use Macs,

Windows and Linux. First computer (Atari 800) had a cassette tape as storage. I've used DOS, Windows 3.1, Win 95, Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7. I build my own desktops, and have since they ran at 266MHz. My first Mac was a 7100/66. Yes, that's 66MHz, lol.

As you can well imagine, it was my azz on the line for anything that did not pan out. I really had to make sure we got her what SHE wanted and not what I wanted.

First, I have to review the online shopping experience. Pretty awful. The HP website is a pure train wreck. I hated the website enough that I could not bring myself to even consider an HP. One major manufacturer down .....

Sony :: CW Bestbuy

Apr 24, 2010

My girlfriend wants me to pick a laptop for her for school next year and I think I've decided on the Vaio CW series, but I'm a little confused about what I've heard.

I understand that the CW's on Bestbuy.com have a higher resolution screen and the 330 graphics card,

making it much better than the CW on the sonystyle website. Will Sony be updating their CW series soon to match Bestbuy's?

HP/Compaq :: Bestbuy Vs HP

Dec 14, 2009

So getting the Envy 15 @ BB and off HP is pretty much the exact same right? Except from HP you get to customize it.

But BB might have the credit card special of no payment for 12 months and at the BB reward points at the same time..

Dell :: SXPS 1645 Discontinuedi7-820QM No Longer Supported On SXPS

Dec 30, 2009

This is interesting... a friend of mine just tried to order the SXPS with the i7-820 processor and got denied by Dell. Apparently, the 1645 has been fully discontinued, and Dell will no longer be placing the i7-820 processor in any SXPS form factor. They quoted that due to hardware and power issues as the reason behind discontinuing the 1645 (and replacing it with the 1647) and killing i7-820 support. The sales rep said the only offering will be the Studio series for the i7-820.

As a 1645 owner with the i7-820, this is kinda scary that this laptop has been discontinued this quickly as well as the offering of the 820 series chip. We ended up calling a second time, and another sales rep confirmed the same story.

Anyone get similar information from Dell on this? I'm also wondering if this is a "Dell Canada" thing...

HP/Compaq :: DV9535nr- BestBuy-made Recovery Discs And Crapware

Jan 13, 2009

I have a DV9535nr and I want to do a clean install to get rid of crapware. BestBuy furnished me a set of discs (at no cost unlike some I have read about) but will these contain the crap I want to eliminate? When I try to run the recovery disc feature and make my own from my hard drive it tells me a set has been made (yeah, yeah, ok ok MS/HP) so it looks like BestBuy beat me to it.

I ordered a set from HP to be on the safe(r) side but have read in this forum that these might not be such a good idea, either... bugs etc...

Dell :: Any Reason To Not Delete The Recovery Partition?

Oct 22, 2009

I have an m1530 and my Windows 7 is on its way! I currently have 10gb just sitting there doing nothing thanks to the recovery partition from the factory and I was

thinking of deleting that partition and creating a 50gb partition for windows 7 and having the remaining hard drive as storage for an easy future formatting environment.

1) Is there any reason to keep the recovery partition and am I safe to delete it and regain my 10gb?

2) 50gb might be too much, but Im not too sure what the windows 7 fingerprint is (15gb?). What is a good OS partition size for windows 7

Dell :: Studio 15Volume Buttons Blinking For No Reason

Oct 16, 2008

I just got a brand new Studio 15 laptop a couple of days ago. So far, I love it, but there's one really odd thing. All day, the mute and volume up buttons have been blinking, and the volume down button has just stayed lit. There does not appear to be any reason for them to be doing this. Also, it's not affecting the buttons' performance. Does anybody have a theory as to why it's doing this? And is there any way to make it stop?

HP/Compaq :: Is There Any Reason To Get A Dv4t Over A Dv3t

Jul 12, 2009

Looking at the HP site these days, the dv3t gives you free 320GB HDD, Included LED display (at 1280x800), and long battery life.

The dv4t has only a free 250GB, extra $60 for LED, less battery life, and costs nearly the same (Infact, only $20 less for the same specs asthe dv3t).

Why SHOULDNT I get the dv3t? I'm in the market for a small, light PC with 512MB Discreet graphics and something around 2.2-2.4GHZ Intel. Seems like dv3t is the no brainer. Considering smaller computers tend to be more expensive it surprises me that HP offer more free upgrades on the dv3t than on the dv4t.

Dell Inspiron 5748 :: WiFi Connection Keeps Dropping Without Apparent Reason

Nov 3, 2014

I'm having an issue with my wifi connection, it keeps dropping without an apparent reason.

It's a Dell Inspiron 5748-10001.

I have updated the wireless drivers Dell [Wireless 1704 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver] to this version Network_Driver_D1DJJ_WN_6.30.223.181_A00, but it still doesn't seem to work.

Dell XPS L702X :: Optical Drive Randomly Started Opening Itself For No Reason At All

Jan 28, 2013

Recently the optical drive on my XPS L702X laptop has randomly started opening itself for no reason at all, and the button to open it on the drives face plate does not respond either.

This has started happening just a few days after the warranty has expired so i'm hoping its not broken but it seems doubtful if i'm honest.

Also the connection for the power lead is extremely poor and the slightest movement causes it to fall out, i've searched around and it seems to be a fairly common problem on these laptops but i haven't been able to find a solution as of yet.

What with already having 2 failed hard drives and now these 2 new issues, it sure doesn't seem like dell laptops are made to last anymore.

HP/Compaq :: Maybe This Is The Reason Why The 8400M And 8600M Keep Failing

Jul 23, 2009

I just discovered an interesting issue after undervolting my DV9700's CPU and overclocking its graphics chip but forgot to post it earlier. When playing GTAIV (which is extremely GPU intensive as you know), the whole notebook will get warm. I already know from FurMark that my 8400M GS will reach 80C in its current configuration so i can understand why the thing gets warm. However the fan always runs at minimum speed when playing GTAIV...

This leads me to believe that the cooling fan is exclusively controlled by the CPU temperature. It wouldn't matter if the graphics chip would be on fire - the fan will still not ramp up unless the CPU reaches the temperature threshold. I'll check exactly what these threshold values are later, but i remember that on my DV5 it's 75C for high and 85C for maximum. The fans on these things have 4 speeds IIRC.

Now, my DV9700 is a large and rather solidly built machine. It easily copes with the heat even with the fan turned down, i have no issues with GTAIV or any other game, and if you recall it had a faulty fan when i got it yet it was still able to work for 20 minutes before reaching shutdown temperature.

But if this is true for all laptops, i can see why these GPUs fail. Notebook manufacturers should consider implementing a fan controller that reads from both CPU and GPU sensors.

Sony :: Vaio Z (590) Coming Out Of Hibernate During Night For No Reason

Aug 31, 2009

I put my new laptop into hibernate and into my laptop bag. At about 3 am (I looked at event log) it seems to over the last few days come out of hibernation and come on. Within 10 minutes it goes back to sleep/hibernate. This happens while I am not even touching it. Would this have caused any damage (heat while in bag)? I doubt it but it is new and I am paranoid! Also for now I am just shutting down if the laptop is not plugged in and not in use.

Lenovo 11e E/Edge :: ThinkPad E15 Not Charging For No Apparent Reason

Aug 18, 2012

I have a ThinkPad Edge 15. It had a charging problem from the day I purchased it. The people I bought it from sent it back to IBM/Lenovo who apparently tightened the area where the charging cord goes into the PC?
 
That did NOT fix the issue, so when I got my laptop back, I called LEnovo, they sent me a new battery (even though I told them the 'Power Manager' said the battery was in good condition) which did nothing. Then they sent me a new charging cord, again-nada. They sent me a box to send the laptop back to them. As I was figuring out how to put the laptop in the box, I looked over @ my PC, and lo and behold; the light that tells you if it is charging was shining!
 
Last night. I looked @ the charging icon; '15%, not charging'! Oops! Oh dear, not again! Went to power manager, everything is just fine. Checked all of my connections, same thing. I left the laptop plugged in. This morning as I look over @ the laptop & Guess WHAT! It was charging, the light was on! I turned it on...

Dell :: My Reason Why XPS M1330 Has A "small" Touch Pad.

Apr 15, 2009

I just recently realized why Dell's M1330 laptop has small touch pad. (sorry if this was already talked about in another thread).

I've read reviews complaining about the small touch pad on this laptop. I was using it the other day and looked down at my hands while typing. My palms were about 1/4 of an inch away from the touch pad.

If I wasn't careful I'd accidentally brush the touch pad and cause the mouse cursor to go flying across the screen .....
