Dell :: Studio XPS 1340 Vs 1640

Oct 3, 2009

Which one should I get, 1340 or 1640 . Both have same specs (except for GPU and wireless thingie) :

CPU : Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8600 2x2.4GHz/1066Mhz FSB, 3MB Cache.
Chipset : NVIDIA GeForce® MCP79MX
Memory : 4GB DDR3 at 1066MHz.
HDD : 5000GB 7200rpm SATA.

Optical : DVD+/-RW Slot(DVD/CD read/write)
Battery : 56 WHr 6-cell
Software : Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition

Does the 13" weigh the same as MacBook 13", is the 16" too heavy ?

Dell :: 1340 Or 1640?

Jun 27, 2009

I'm really debating on which laptop to get, since I've heard a fair share of both good/bad reviews from both models.

I'm not really a heavy gamer, just a little Counter-Strike 1.6 and WarCraft III.

I was looking for portability with the 1340, but the aspect of full 1080p on the 1640 keeps pulling me back!

I'm just worried that the 1640 will be too big for me to be considered "portable" and more of a desktop replacement. .

Dell :: 1340/1640 Owners

Mar 19, 2009

Stressing the 1340, Dell released a system update yesterday that I believe is meant to address the WU BSOD issue, as it adds support for some hotfixes, etc...

Dell :: SXPS 1340/1640 Synaptics Touchpad

Jun 25, 2009

I am really curious if any other 1340/1640 users have run into a similar situation.

The problem:

when typing on the lappy, sometimes the text jumps to wherever the I beak of the cursor is. At first i thought i was accidentally touching the touchpad with the base of my thumb, but now i'm sure thats not the case

I've already tried uninstalling dells drivers, using the drivers from synaptics website, changing the sensitivity of the touch pad, using the touchpad with no drivers at all (windows drivers only)...

Dell :: M1710 Bags?

Jan 27, 2009

I have a m1710 that was new in late 2007.

I am running a
T7400 @2.16GHz
2.00 Gb of Ram
7950 GTX
120 HD @ 5400 rpms

This computer so far has served me well but I NEED to upgrade.

From what I have seen I can get:
T7600G 2.33GHz, 4MB Cache and 667MHz Bus to up grade the processor is that the top of the line this will go?

I want to upgrade the ram to 4 gb and I know it can do that but what PC speed do I use? I know I have pc-5300 @ 667 mhz now but I have seen stuff that I have been told that will work on here at pc-6400 @ 800 mhz...Whats the best memory I can get?? I looked on newegg.com but I am stumped. I dont know what one would be best.

Form what I can tell from the forum and other online sorces I am stuck with the 512mb video and cant up grade that. I would LOVE to get a fill gig like the 8800...That cant be done right?

lastly I need to upgrade my drive like theres no tomorrow. I want a 500GB drive (dont flame me for it I use a back up at least once a week if not more) I have only found 5400 rpm units and hints that a 7200 rpm unit is on the way but nothing I found was set in stone. Any one know what one of the 500gb drives are the best? From the reviews I have read the Seagate seems like it may be the most quite and run the coolest...

a few other small questions maybe someone may know. Has anyone found a good bag to use with these lappys? I have a Swiss Army one but it does not fit in the sleve and I dont like the cheap crap ones that I have found that are this size. I hate the boring useless dell bag it just does not have enough pockets ot spots for stuff.

Whilst waiting for my XPS 16 to arrive I was having a ook around at some carrying bags and/or luggage bags for this laptop.

And I was wondering whether anybody had any recommendations for a good stury high-quality bag that tightly holds this lappy.

Ideally it should have some extra space for clothes for a few days but that is not a necessity.

HP/Compaq :: No HDX Bags

Sep 2, 2009

I think one of the most frustrating things about this laptop is not being able to find bags to transport it in. Just who's job is it to supply bags for these behemoths? The laptop manufacturer? The computer bag industry? It's a shame HP and other 18" laptop manufactures didn't take this into consideration and place this glaring omission higher on their list of accessories.

Until my web ordered backpack arrives (I would have preferred a messenger bag) I'm stuck with having to transport my laptop around in a shopping bag.

Dell :: Studio XPS 1340 Replacement

Apr 6, 2010

The 1640/45/47 owners and the m1330 owners have their respective replacements threads. There has also been a concern about getting Alienware instead of XPS thread. So I created this thread because the Studio XPS 1340 has reached EOL and is no longer offered as a replacement. Thus, I would like 1340 owners' help in tracking and monitoring replacements.

Please specify experiences regarding:What are the specs of your current XPS 1340?What system was received in lieu of the SXPS 1340? Specs? New or Refurb?At what point were you aware of the system you were going to receive?How long did the systems' exchange process take?Did you attempt escalation or any form of negotiation?Are you happy with your replacement? .........

Dell :: Studio XPS 1340 Web Cam Software?

Mar 12, 2009

I had to to a complete fresh reinstall. The DVDs have no software for the webcam nor does the website. Just spent an hour with dell chat and remote checking and they cant figure it out.

They are sending someone out to replace the webcam - I think they are wrong - its a Vista 64/creative/Dell softare/driver issue. I had to do a reinstall after a BSOD. The camera worked fine until the BSOD.

Dell :: Studio XPS 1340 And Windows 7

Feb 26, 2009

I had been running Windows 7 for 2 weeks on my 13 and I kept on getting lockups. It would just freeze up. Only bios functions would work.

I had dell replace the motherboad, heatsinks and processor and it still locked up, the laptop was running really hot too.

I spoke to dell and they asked if I was running windows 7, I said yes, they said the laptop did not support 7 (yeah right) and I was to test under vista. So I reinstalled vista and the freezes totally stopped. Been running for one day solid now without a hitch.

I think there must be some driver conflicts running 7 which makes the laptop over heat.

Dell :: Studio XPS 1340 Up In Smoke

Mar 5, 2009

I was happily tapping away on my month-old 1340 (P8600, 4gb, 9500m, 320gb) today, when all of a sudden...

The screen went bright white. Then flickered a bit. Then... smoke started coming out of the left hinge area! It soon switched off.

Dell will be getting a phone call tomorrow!

Dell :: Studio XPS 1340, Win 7 And Firefox

Oct 17, 2009

I've been running Windows7 on my laptop for a good month now, or longer, and I've always had this issue with Firefox, it constantly crashes. I can't really reproduce it at will, but its often enough that in a one hour browsing session it can crash 2-3 times.

All drivers are up to date, Firefox is up to date...I run the same on my desktop and have never had an issue so it must be something specific.

Dell :: Heating In Studio XPS 1340

Apr 2, 2009

I am thinking about buying a studio XPS 1340. The only thing holding me back is the heating issue.

If the heating only comes from intense use of the graphics card (ie gaming) then that's not too much of an issue for me.

If there isn't a lot of heat generated from web/email, watching videos and running applications, then I think I'd be ok with it.

Dell Iraq :: Studio Xps 1340

Mar 6, 2010

I've already had a number of minor, yet unfixed problems:
-cannot hibernate without freezing
-strip of touch-buttons become unusable
-strip of touch-buttons don't illuminate, or some do and others don't
-keypad occasionally sticks during typing
-touchpad becomes unusable

what bothered me most, however, is last night when I was typing and all of a sudden many of the keypad buttons weren't going through unless I went back and hit them again. moreover was when I went to shutdown for the night, and after everything on the desktop disappeared in preparation for logging off and shutting down, only the wallpaper and mouse stayed up, for a little over five minutes; then the "logging off..." screen appeared, and stayed for over ten minutes, by which time I simply shutdown via pressing the power button. therefore when I started it up again this morning, it displayed the screen saying how an improper shutdown occurred previously, asking how to start. I said "start Windows normally" and so far so good, as usual.

Windows Vista Home Premium
Service Pack 2
Rating: 5.2
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz

Dell Studio XPS 1340 :: Does Not Shut Down

Feb 5, 2015

I have a Dell Studio XPS 1340 (mid 2010)

Windows 7 Home Premium

When I turn off the computer, it does not turn off all the time (sometimes it does, and most of the time it doesn't), the screen truns off like it wants to shut down, but then the computer hangs up, with the HDD disk light flashing, and it never shuts down, requiring a hard shut down.

I have not installed any new software...nothing different has happened, and I did try system restore, going back quite a ways, it did not work....

Dell :: Studio XPS 1340 (Windows 7 X64) Locks Up

Jan 23, 2010

Sometimes, for example, when I open a new tab in Google Chrome (not beta) and enter a web site, or click a link etc. the notebook locks up. This sometimes happens with other softwares, or just Windows softwares, or browsing files randomly.

When it locks up, hard-drive is flashing and hard-drive activity not stopping. I am able to move the cursor, but I cannot click anywhere. Even I cannot open task manager, the ctrl-alt-del also doesn't work. I have to push the power button to reset the notebook.

Notebook's specifications are:

OS Version 6.1.7600 (Win7 64-bit RTM)
Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2400 MHz (9 x 267)
3840 MB (DDR3-1066 DDR3 SDRAM)

Dell :: Cant Update BIOS Of My New Studio XPS 1340

Dec 8, 2009

I hope I am using the right part of this forum to ask this... Heres my problem: I bought new Dell studio XPS 1340 (CPU: I Core2Duo T9300, GPU: GeForce 9500M (GF 9400MG + GF 9200MGS, HDD: 320GB, 7.2k, RAM: 4GB)

and I had some troubles configuring my graphic cards in SLI mode. I read somewhere, that BIOS upgrade from A07, which I have, to A11 will help with this problem.

I downloaded A11 BIOS update, but the setup wont recognize my current BIOS. When I load into the BIOS I see, that its really rev. A07, also it has header from Dell inc.
