I ordered the RBGLED (as shown on my receipt and Dell confirmation email) but my shipping confirmation says WLED. I am on the phone with them now, but they are only seeing WLED now (since that's what it's now showing for them). If you had this issue, how did you get it resolved?

i installed an old driver? Anyway this is the driver i've currently installed: driver R200184 for Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT version A0
I recently ordered the Studio XPS 13 (1340) with the Nvidia 9500M hybrid SLI GFX card.
I check the website today and they now offer the Nvidia Geforce N10m- GS as a video card option, this is the code name for the Geforce G 210M!
I called dell and they were nice enough to update my order.
I cannot find a single benchmark on this hybrid SLI config (still using the integrated 9400m I assume).
I might be one of the first to benchmark it! You can expect a review.

I had just placed an order for 3 Latitude D630, but by an error I ordered 4 of them, it does not really matter as I could send it back,
but I am not sure yet if I might need it or not as I initially only needed 3 of them.
I was planning to use them for some side training with my company, where I will use these computers to teach the other employees in various programs, like Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver (I am a Adobe fan),
also the office 2007 package as many have not made the transition yet, also some needs the basic of Vista imprinted in their brain so that they may work more efficiently.
I also just love the look of the Latitude computers, they are so plain and not full of lights and useless buttons placed in the wrong places .....

View 15 Replies View RelatedI received a call from a guy who was clearly calling from India today about ComgpleteCare. It seemed that he already had all my info and apparently ordered CompleteCare before I even confirmed it.
My son had picked up the phone, was given a confirmation number, and my son then gave the phone to me. When I was given the phone, the guy said that he wanted to verify a few things. He asked me for my credit card number, which I stupidly gave to him. He then said that CompleteCare was ordered .....
Well, this morning working in the TZ wasn't at all the same..even the most simple task like opening the control panel it makes for ever...Is very strange, just from today! It doesn't even open some things as disk defragmenter, is incredibly slow, what can I do?
I checked the task manager, the processes are 64 but the strange is that the CPU Usage is stuck to 100%..
When I recieved my xps, my screen had a ton of dust/debris in between the plastic cover and the lcd.
I called dell and they set up a service call. Is taking off the screen a very involved process?
will my laptop still be the same once they put it back together? anything I should ask the tech to do to make sure he doesn't mess it up?
And which gen is the safest and best one to buy?

The only slightly annoying bit is that HP delivered a British wall contact instead of a general European one, probably because I ordered a British keyboard. But I might still have a suitable cable somewhere, or use an adapter instead.
Anyway, Vista is preinstalled on this computer and I could also opt for XP instead. The manual doesn't say how to do that. Can smoeone explain to me how to install XP? Someone mentioned earlier that I should make a backup disk for Vista anyway. So what's the general workflow? Get the computer up and running as is, make backup disk, somehow install XP over it?

Now I see the Studio XPS 13 is available on the dell belgian website but of course there are no review yet.
Does someone here has already ordered it ? If yes, when should you receive it ? Will you make a "user first impressions" post
the first time I ordered my payment card was blocking Dell so decided to cancel order.
This is my second try at it (with a different card) and all has gone through (it seems)!
I purchased a slightly different Spec and am currently in stage one and have been since 15:34 today.
Can I upgrade my dvd Rom to the blu-ray/dvd/Rw slot and I should have done it before ordering the the laptop? So I guess my question is: Is the blu-ray slot something I can order as an upgrade?

I ordered a Latitude XT2(in sig) on May 10. As far as I know, there weren't any significant delays with this system (save the 1 day for the processor
View 4 Replies View RelatedFinally i have received my Studio1557 this morning. it came along with pre installed windows7 home premium 64bit. but i had Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit and as i like windows Vista more than Windows7, so i have just installed it.
now i m updating service packs. i will install Windows7 as well. anyway, i want to share with u something that, once windows is booting, after the dell logo it takes 30seconds to show up the log in screen. it's unusual.
I have a Dell M1330 that requires a spare battery. Is Denaq.com a reputable company & do their batteries perform as well as well as Dell brand? Their battery is $60 at denaq.com vs. $150 at dell.com.
I have never heard of this company and don't want to give my credit card info without getting any positive feedback from this valuable forum first.
I ordered my inspiron laptop December 27th 2008 they originally gave me a estmated ship date of January 16th! I got confirmation it has left the dell facility and fedex has it and it's only January 4th! When I track it ,
it says being delivered on the 6th! I was just wondering why it left Nashville tennesse last night and has not updated since? Is it sitting somewhere in between
I ordered the 14z about a week ago and I dont remember them offering a free Windows 7 update. I guess I assumed it was included. I went to the website a few minutes ago and I see that its in red as an offer.
Do you think if I call Dell and tell them I want the upgrade or I will just cancel my order and reorder they will give it to me? Its seems silly for them to stop production of my laptop just for a free O.S. upgrade.
First off i use to have a dell Inspiron 1501 then i upgraded to the Inspiron 1545 which i know both of these 2 machines are a very basic low end computer
I just ordered a Dell Studio 1749 and its in the process of being built as we speak.. but with these newer computers technology im not very familer with.
1. my first question i was wondering if anyone knew of the release date the Studio 1749 came out.
2. is the I5 processor better then the duo core .....
just hit the button on this new 24'' Dell HD monitor (got it on the deal of the day for $269)[url] ok so i was wondering, now that i have this coming, what would be the best way to connect my 1530 to it? hdmi? vga? also, how would i do use the monitor so that my laptop screen remains turned off the whole time?
View 10 Replies View RelatedSo I ordered my XPS1640 about 2-3 weeks ago. Arrived at my house on Monday. Later that day I go onto Dell's website, and see my exact same laptop on sale for $150 less than what I paid.
The only difference is lack of McAfee and a smaller HDD. So I customized it the same as mine, with McAfee and the larger HDD and I still would've saved $60-70.
Do I have a legitimate beef here? Should I call and complain, and will they do anything for me anyways?
I just received my E6500 from the outlet after having returned a new studio 17.
1. Was I supposed to receive any sort of owners manual with this thing?
There are a handful of disks but no manual save for a small warranty booklet.
2. It has XP on it and I think it came with the ability to put vista business on it. I am not particularly wedded to xp, should I just go ahead and put vista on? Is vista closer interface wise to whatever the next generation of windows is (windows 7)?
3. This E6500 has the 1440x900 led screen as did my studio 17. The screen on the 17 was absolutely brilliant but the screen on this E6500 seems more fuzzy or dull. Not as sharp and vibrant as the screen on the 17. To be perfectly honest, the screen on this E6500 doesn't seem that much nicer than the one on my 2001 Latitude.
4. Refresh my memory on how I increase the pixels to get bigger text.
5. When I hit the function key and the "auto" screen brightness key the screen goes very dark. Is this supposed to be the ambient light/brightness deal?

1080p monitor is a must unless you need large text. The 1080p screen is perfectly fine for all use. I thought it might be too hard to read, but actually find it to be perfect given how crisp the image is.
Build quality is good, not as good as the XPS but still decent. At work I use a Lenovo T500 that has a magnesium skeleton under the lid and it very solidly built .....
This was the stock $399 configuration advertised on Dell's site.
Just charging and setting it up now so let me know of any questions and I'll try to answer.
Couple of things right off the bat. It looks just like an oversized mini 10 (we never got any of the 12's)
The ac adapter is the same unit they provide with the bigger dells like the studio 14 and 15, not the nice compact unit that comes with the mini 10
