Anyone with the new Inspiron 1464 know if the lid/screen can open flat? (180 degrees)
I've been looking at getting a notebook to replace my 700m 12". This new 1464 seems to be the lightest comparable dell (since Dell isn't making 12" anymore, and the 13" actually weigh more than this new 14"; also the 11z is more of a netbook power-wise) .....
My puppy jumped on my lap when I was on the computer and the screen went from horizontal to vertical. A quick fix is changing the screen projector mode from 'not connected' to 'extended'. Unfortunately I cannot use dual screen and have lost my mouse more then once...

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just purchased a new Dell Studio 1537 and it arrived a few days ago. I was wondering if anyone else has the plastic on the speakers and media buttons flexing and bulge out. The keyboard kind of rises up in the top middle as well, and the volume buttons are higher up. If I run my finger across the entire speaker set it does not feel like a flat surface. Are all the laptops like this or should I ask for a replacement?

I don't like dealing with their reps on the phone because they're reading from a script and it's VERY annoying.....
I am thinking on purchasing a SP2309W for my M4400 but i don't know if it will fit the E-Port Replicator Plus with the E-Monitor Flat Panel Stand
what I would like to know is if anyone knows if it fits the stand (the monitor is VESA compatible?) and if the 4400 will support the max resolution of the monitor (2048 x 1152) and if I need special cables for this.
I'm looking at the configurators for the 32bit and 64bit Precision M4400s, and the almost the exact same configuration (difference is 64bit has 4gb ram vs. 2gb) costs about $50 less and comes with a free monitor (not really necessary...but getting rid of it doesn't result in any price drop).
Is this an error on Dell's site, or are they actively pushing 64bit and lowering the price of the system overall intentionally?

I bought SONY VAIO VPCF115 Model Laptop from Best Buy in Austin,TX in Feb 2010.
Up till now everything was working perfectly fine , until today morning when I powered ON my laptop nothing would come up! NO DISPLAY! I tried taking out the battery and putting back again, tried removing RAM and all possible options tried! the laptop is powering ON but its not displaying anything! nor the Hard drive is being read.
I am currently in India on vacation and having this problem.I don't know whether this is covered with SONY VAIO warranty , b'caz I didn't buy the accidental warranty from Best Buy.
I gave my laptop at SONY SERVICE Center here in India and they told me the MOTHERBOARD IS faulty and its not functioning , hence they need to repair the motherboard! I was like WHAT? how can that be possible even in the first place.
I just received my new Dell Studio XPS 13 with the integrated NVidia 9400G graphics and came across a somewhat annoying problem.
When I put my computer to sleep and shut the lid, then as soon as the lid opens, the computer wakes up from standby.
I dont want it to do this and would rather press the button manually......
I have an older Vostro 1500, which has generally been pretty reliable but because of it's age probably qualifies for hospice care.
I can open my browsers (Firefox or Explorer) but no websites will then open as usual. I've run virus scans, malware scans, and even de-fragged. Does this sound terminal? Is there anything else I can do?
I'm looking for a computer set up. After some research, I'm leaning towards a Latitude E4300 (with decent specs) and the above mentioned display. The idea is to have a powerful, yet portable notebook for taking to class and mobile study sessions, then having the display function as almost a desktop computer. Has anyone had a similar set up before?

I have the option of "Do Nothing" on when lid is closed. However, I found out that the laptop will just randomly open files/programs/apps. I have the laptop sitting on my table. There isn't any rocking or nudging. Is this due to poor planning on this laptop? The laptop isn't even a touch screen so what is going on?
When I open Windows media center all the photos that are installed on computer are still there. They do not come up and display on the HP media smart program. When I go to a space that is to have a photo but is blank, I can press "ctrl and enter" button and that picture and file opens up in windows media center.

Guide to Switching your Inspiron 9300/M170 WUXGA into the Inspiron 9400/M1710:
You can't simply replace the display screens. The instructions below must be followed for your screen to work properly.
Required Materials:
- Small Phillips (I used #0 Phillips)
- Either 2 monitors (9400 and 9300) or part #YPNL-N017B (Google the # to buy it).
Step 1: Remove the display assembly. Dell has an excellent guide for this on their website.
[url] Click on Display)
Step 2: Remove the LCD Bezel (the gray trim around the screen). This requires removing the screws under the circular pads. I used a small flathead to pry open the bezel.
Step 3: Remove the 8 screws around the sides of the LCD. This will make it so your screen can be taken out. Do not worry about any screws on the top, they are for other things.
Step 4: At the bottom of the screen, there is a green circuit board. On the left side, you will see a screw holding the wire down. Remove this.
Step 5: Remove the LCD screen from the case.
Step 6: Look at the bottom circuit board again. This is the board we need to swap! Disconnect the 2 connections on the board. There should be on on the bottom and one on the side that is white.
Step 7: There will be 3 silver screws holding the circuit to the screen. Remove these screws. Note: This requires a very small phillips. I used a #0 Phillips to do the trick.
Step 8: Repeat steps 1-7 for your other monitor OR if you don't have another monitor...you will need to buy an inverter chip. The mfg # is YPNL-N017B. If you google that number, you should find a bunch of sites willing to sell it.
Step 9: Simply swap the bottom circuit boards between monitors or insert the new one that you bought.
Step 10: Follow steps 1-7 in reverse to reconnect everything back up! Before screwing everything back up. I suggest you plug it in first to test it out.
Congratulations. Your WUXGA LCD will now work properly on the Inspiron 9400. For anyone wondering, you MUST replace the bottom circuit board or the brightness controls will not work. You brightness will be stuck at the lowest setting and nearly impossible to see.
Any owners yet? I'd love to get some reviews.

I am looking at the new Inspiron 15, which has a 15.6" display.
Can anyone tell me whether the actual laptop itself is bigger or smaller than my current 6400? I am interested in knowing width.
I see a lot of dead space on my 6400, and hopefully Dell realized this, and instead of making another 15.4" with dead space, they made use of this and gave a better display!
The processor of the mini laptop is atom N450, i want to know can i install windows server 2003 32 or and 64 bit os on this machine.

and it says:
"Noise
The Inspiron 15 is fairly quiet, though at times the fans did get a bit noisy. Basically you won’t hear this notebook at all in an environment with ambient noise, but if you’re in a library like quiet environment you might bother those nearby with some fan noise."

I am in the process of buying the new Dell Inspiron 15. I just want to know if i have made the right choice. It seems to be a really good laptop and i have seen some very positive comments within some review's on Youtube.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering if anyone had bought or used the new Dell Inspiron 11z?
Now available in the UK, seems nicely specced and thinking about buying one as a more powerful alternative to a netbook.
Has anyone seen the new Inspiron 17 laptops?

I m unable to find out the difference between the two streams of notebook.
The inspiron is cheaper while the XPS is more expensive one.
I will be using the notebook for programming and data processing via oracle, .net, etc.
Note: I m not going to use the notebook for gaming.
Kindly guide to buy the best stream of notebook suitable for me.
I got a phone status update a couple of days ago that said it was supposed to ship by Nov 5th (tomorrow). Normally when I order stuff from Dell, it shows up a lot sooner, but I guess the 11z is a hot item so it's taking longer.
I ordered mine pretty decked out... I got the dual-core Pentium CPU, 320 gig hard drive, Wireless N card, etc. I'll probably still stick a 500 gig drive in it and use the 320 as an external.
I recently looked to purchase another hard drive for my wifes inspiron 17 1720 and found that the hard drive came without a connector so some sort, it appears the dell needs a special connector to connect to the sata hdd. i looked at the 1st hdd and it has this connector, i contact dell and they didnt know what i was talking about
