High resolution may have greater performance but everything seem to be so small, also keeps the higher price. I've never used high resolution screens like that so I need ur opinions..
I'm looking at Studio 15s for my Mom and trying to decide if the 1440 X 900 WLED worth $125 over the 1280 X 800? ?
I know it's a lot of personal taste and it's inconvenient to drag her into BB and bug a salesperson to bring up the internet to check, and sometimes it takes a while of "living" with it to know. She is going to use it for the Net, some word processing, etc.
We're trying to get the best balance between having to scroll and tiny fonts. Also, if resolution is lowered, or font size is increased, does the picture distort much?
I have a three year old DV 9207us. Has GeForce Go 7600 video card.
I had to do a clean install of Windows Vista Home 32 bit. I installed service pack sp42635 for the nvidia driver. The highest resolution I can get is 1024 X 768. it was higher before the operating system re-install. I have uninstalled the Nvidia drivers back to the generic VGA drivers and then reinstalled the Nvidia drivers. Still max resolution is 1024 x 768 under display settings.
What am I missing to get the resolution to 1440 x 990?
i bought HP Pavilion dv6-1390ev laptop with Graghic ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 1024 MB

i just bought a Sony Vaio Z (1600x900 resolution) and noticed that the 1600x900 resolution is way to small for me, cant barley see any text on the screen
so when i change to the next resolution (1280x) all the text and fonts get horribly blurry and "loses" the crisp that it had in the 1600x
I posted this in another thread, but I figured I'd bring it over here so people would know that they might be in for a battle if they decide to purchase a Dell.
Friday 10/9/09 We priced out our orders and made an order. Something happened with my DPA and the following series happened:
1) My order was cancelled.
2) My DPA was put on hold pending validation.
3) I spent 3 hours *that night* trying to figure out what was going on and nobody
would tell me until I finally got a hold of some one telling me that this all occurred because my initial rep put in "Avenue" instead of "Street" on my DPA setup.
The rep I'm on the phone with that finally spills those beans tells me that she can't help me recreate the order because she isn't EPP, and EPP is closed
Im trying to overlock my 9400mg a little bit as well as my processor p8600 2.4ghz core 2 duo with Nvidia performance tools (ntune).
Stock GPU clock: 450/1075/1100
overclocked GPU: 500/1075/1200
CPU stock FSB clock: 267 (2.4ghz)
Overclocked CPU clock: 301 (2.7ghz)
Now I noticed an option on motherboard tab "PCIe slot 1: 2500mhz"
should I increase the PCIe clock? to about 2700mhz just like the processor, or how much should I move it, or do I even need to move it? Is there any benefit of playing with pcie clock, or what does it effect in the system in terms of hardware?
Do slower processors give longer battery life? How much of an effect?
I'm looking to get a Studio and wonder whether I should consider a slower processor for that reason. If it bogs down under Vista, however, that's not good.
I want to get the 9-cell battery.
In Feb. I purchased an XPS M1330 with 2GB of ram and Vista Home Premium. I've since upgraded the ram to 4GB and would like to install the 64bit version of VHP. Is there any chance that Dell would just send it to me if I called? Has anyone been successful in getting the 64bit version of Vista Home Premium?

BTW: my 1647's fan keep spin and the gpu temp is 50 when its idle, is it normal? the ambient no more than 20c

View 2 Replies View Relatedmy new dell E6400 just got a small scratch on the lid. It really bothers me because I can see it in most lighting even though it's not a big scratch. Part of the reason why I decided to buy a business line laptop is that it's suppose to be more durable. I have been careful with my laptop and it still got scratched. Does anybody know anything I can do to remove the scratch? Also, what is the most protective laptop sleeve for a 14.1 laptop with a 9 cell battery?

I just bought a refurbished Studio 15. Is there anything that anyone of you recommend me doing? I already did a burn in test with "BurnInTest". Actually, everything passed except the DVD drive. I'm going to retest it tonight to see if it fails again. I already ran the battery down to 5%, then charged it back up. Is there anything else I need or should do? This is my first new laptop in 5 years, I want this one to last.

I recently ordered a Dell Studio 1558, thinking I got a good deal after taking about 3 days and talking to several reps, got the order done and all, it is now In-Production.
I went ahead and ordered the Latitude E6510, but since the Studio 15 is in production, I can't cancel, so I'll be getting both laptops, and I can return before 30 days off course.
Can't make up my mind on which one to keep, here's the specs of both:
Studio 1558
i7 720q | 4GB RAM | 500gb 7200rpm HDD | ATI 5470 1GB
15.6 True Life 1080p Screen | 8x DVD-RW | Back-Lit Keyboard | Soundblaster
3yr Advanced Complete Care Warranty | 9 Cell | Win 7 Home Premium X64
$1376.04
Latitude E6510
i5 540m | 4GB RAM | 500gb 7200rpm HDD | Nvidia 3100m 512mb
15.6 Anti-Glare RGB LED 900p Screen | 8x DVD-RW | Back-Lite Keyboard
3yr Basic Warranty (included) + 3yr Complete Care | 9 Cell Battery
Win 7 Pro x64 w/ XP Mode

just tonight my laptop started to act up.. i go to turn it on and i get these error messages.. then it tried to go to this repair part for 5-10 minutes and says its re starting my laptop then it does the same thing over and over.. i took two photos to show you also...
i put in my laptops re installation disc thing but its not telling me to re install it or anything.. i have several discs that came with the laptop that are not opened. is there a certain one .....
I have never owned a laptop before buying my 1530 and I have to ask this, if I use it every day for work, school, and gaming - will this cause any problems? laptop life shortens?
do you use it all the time? I am thinking of buying a desktop to replace this for everyday use. The vents being placed on the bottom of this laptop don't help much..
I'm trying to choose a laptop at the moment and I'm finding it hard to do. I primarily want it for gaming and want it to play all the latest and greatest games.
Originally, I wanted an Alienware but I can't justify the price to be honest. Maybe the M11X but I'm not too sure if thats very good for gaming.
These are the laptops I'm looking at:
DELL Studio 17
DELL Studio XPS 16
Alienware M11X
The studio 17 has a 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 560v
The XPS 16 has a 1GB ATI® Radeon™ HD 4670 graphics card
&
The Alienware M11X has a 1GB GDDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 335M
Which is the best graphics card out of these? I know theres more to it than just a graphics card but I thought that would be a good place to start. Also, the i7 processor would be best I think so does that cancel out the M11X? Which laptop would you get for gaming? Personally, I'd like the 17 inch screen size as I'm out of college and don't really need the portability anymore - I use my iPhone for most of my web browsing nowadays. Basically, I'm looking for a really powerful gaming laptop for around €1,200.
With my Dell XPS Gen 2 on the way out, I've bitten the bullet and ordered a Studio XPS 16:
Intel i7 820QM CPU
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit
500GB Hard Drive
4GB 1333Mhz RAM
15.6 inch Full HD 1080p LED Edge to Edge Screen
1GB Ati Radeon HD 4670 Graphics
The question is, once I receive it, what's good practice to get the best out of it? I'm guessing reinstalling Windows 7 is a gimmie, but what else?
