So been shopping around and the only laptop that really has what I want is the XPS 16, looks good, big but not overly huge(have a 15.4 right now), great screen and good numbers other than that.
But whats the real experiences with it? I'll only get the RGB LED as thats the entire reason for me wanting it, I wont game on it, but I will use it for movies and things like that. Any experiences with it will be welcomed.
Any word or speculation?

Also, whilst searching Dell Service Center, I opted to download Dell System Detect but when I try to install it, I get a message, "Unable to install, requires Version4.0 Full or other .NET Framework". As a novice, I don't know what this means.
You can preview word documents in OS X by highlighting it and then pressing space.
The document shows perfectly with images and everything in the preview pane. However its a bit small and not useable for serious reading.
However I can only seem to open the document in TextEdit which doens't render it properly. When trying to open it with the Preview application it refuses to open.
What application is responsible for being able to view word files in OS X? its obvious it can do it because the preview ability shows that it can be done.
MS Word application crashed a couple of minutes ago, not too bad as I only edited my thesis marginally, but I used a picture for the first page that I cannot find on the internet again.

At first, the cursor works well. However, after 2 months usage, the cursor suddenly starts to runaway when I am typing in Microsoft word.

I am thinking of buying Dell XPS 1530 for $1778 without tax (btw my budget is under $2000)
heres the laptop config:
Additional Info:
Now i really need ur views on this btw as u can see i am saving $221. Also is it a good choice to upgrade to T9300 for $200 or i should stick with T8100?
i live in Canada
Also can someone please confirm if this laptop includes: VGA output for RS232cable, firewire, and svideo. Also would i be able to attach my external desktop speakers or not ? i am also very confuse about the battery like not sure which one to get like 9 or 6 cell ..cuz i heard that 9 cell would be very heavy compare to 6 and weird shape? Lastly is the grainy screen problem still around like i have to tell the representative for LG screen or not ?
I have a Dell Inspiron N7110 and one day I try to open Word and Excel 2010 starter , and they both won't work. I do have an older version of both and they work just fine.
The error message I get is the following: That I either try again or repair from the control panel ( not entirely sure how to do that).
Pretty much the title. I know there are 4GB single laptop ram sticks out there. If the M1330 is running a 64 bit OS (such as Vista x64 or XP x64), can I put in two 4GB sticks and will they be recognised?

Vaio Z battery life tests
Vaio Z reviewers getting 9hr battery life!
I do a fair bit of transatlantic flights. So I'd like to know what battery life I can get with the Sony Z890, Windows 7, with all processes such as WIFI, Bluetooth etc turned off and being used in word processing and reading mode using the integrated graphics, with brightness at 50%. SLOW is fine as word processing is easy.
Anyone has a sense of the battery life I should get?
What if I turn on WIFI and use it as a netbook for surfing at airports?
I can't seem to find a recent discussion on battery life. The 2008 threads has a huge disparity with some people claiming something like 9 hours doing basic stuff! Hard to believe but thought I'd check with you guys.
My Word Starter 2010 on my HP mini 210-2000 will not open. The program just stopped working today. How do I get it to start working again? The Click-to-Run Application Manager message says: " Microsoft Word Starter 2010 cannot be opened. Try again or repair the product in Control Panel." I cannot find a way to fix the problem in the Control Panel. How do I fix this problem? I use the program a lot for grading student essays.

how does the nvidia 260 compare?
Picked up a great deal on a 1730 with a 128SSD and 320 2nd drive - Does anyone know if the 120 will be faster than if I were to go with 2 7200 rpm drives? The price difference for the SSD is "UP THERE" so I at least want to know if its as fast as a conventional 2 hard drive raid zero approach.
Also does anyone have any links to spec's for the Dell 128SSD? Is it the Memoright 128GB.
when i start up internet explore for the first time, i get a thin line that run's right across my screen, but when i minimize IE and maximise it again its gone. it only seems to be there when i first start up IE.
this was a response i got from another forum.
"My psychic powers tell me you have a graphics card with poorly written drivers. You should check to see if there is an update available from the manufacturer. Then install it. Reboot. See if your problem goes away"
i have had a brand new motherboard fitted today, and this problem was there beforehand, i also have the latest drivers installed.
I see that Dell only sells 15.6" screen sized laptops. What is the difference? Why did they make it 0.2 longer?

View 9 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know which screens/laptops are compatible?
If there is a large range of screens that will fit I will most likely just buy a broken laptop with a good screen to fix it.
The service tag is 9TCL14J
Its been along time but my second m1710 died today but is still in warranty.
Have been advised that the 7900gtx card no longer is replaced and that i would need to take the 7950gtx.
This is out of stock, back order of 25 units.
I've got an Inspiron 1720 with a pm965 chipset, whats the best processor that i can buy,
that is compatible with my motherboard or if someone could link to me to a website that tells me the answer that would be great.
Ok so I do not want to have another unit fail as my last order from the outlet did; my previous unit was refurb, but I was considering going the "previously ordered" route-- what is the difference?

View 9 Replies View RelatedOk so the Studio 1737 premium display is the RGB LED display. Using LED's.
For example even high end HDTV's the most expensive $4,000 Samsung using LED back lighting lists a 2ms response time.
I have never seen such specs mentioned for the 1737's RGB LED display.
I know it has to be fast, because on my 22" Samsung LCD which is back lit using conventional CCFL has a 2ms response time.
and when I connect my 1737 to my 22 LCD via HDMI, I can tell that the response time, on the 1737 is faster, my guess is because of the LED's can adjust or turn on off faster than CCFL.
