I bought my dell xps in 2006 and i still enjoy it with older games.
(i have a new notebook with a 9600gt)
I want to upgrade the old dell hd (wich was 60gb) with a 160gb samsung hd And the dell bios only sees 137gb.
Does Dell plan on releasing a new 12.1in notebook this summer? I currently have the 700m but I am thinking about something new. I see HP 2133. Its pretty slick but too small and lacks DVD drive. I think 12.1in is the smallest laptop I will buy.

Please help me decide between these four. I really don't know about Laptop Coolers and if owners who have the same laptop and any one of these coolers could comment?

cpu:
i5 is enough or i7 720 or 820 ?

I know you have a forum for advice on what notebook to buy, but I know what models I like. I like the mini 9 but am thinking of waiting until the mini 10 is avaible. And the other I like is either the Inspiron 1535 or the Studio 15.
I will use it primarily for surfing the net and writing in Word or Open Office. I want it to be portable, but it doesn't have to be ultra portable, though that is a big draw of the mini series...
I think I prefer XP but hubby has Vista and I think I could learn to live with that. We've already got a Inspiron 530 desktop and he loves it. The thing that I think I might want, is to listen to music while I write and that makes the netbook not work out so well, BUT I have a cool Nextar MP3 player that works great for me and holds most of my music already set up, so I could live with that .....
I was wondering if there are people in the UK who have bought their Dell notebooks either from dell.com and posted to the UK OR delivered to US Address and then brought to the UK

My wife's XPS M1330 is much cooler and has a beautiful LED screen. Can someone recommend one of the Dell laptops with the best looking screen in relation to colors/brightness
I'm having difficulty with the issue here and am wondering how I go about getting Dell to do a complete notebook replacement?
We're going to try a motherboard replacement first but I'm not hopeful that this system is possible to fix after reading that thread,
the cause of the issue is sporadic and not really traceable. Should I just tell Dell this is what I believe needs to be done about it with my technical expertise and after all the research and testing I've done?
I chose to get me Dell studio 15, and i need some help with recommanded components.
im going to get the best processor they offer (T9300), 4gb shared memory.
i need ur advice if i should get 200gb 7200 rpm or stay with the 320gb 5400?
i heard that 7200 rpm make the computer to get hot real fast.
what about the display? should i stay with the glossy 12800X800 or upgrade to the hi def screen ? im not going to watch movies on my laptop, so what do you think ?
do you know if i have hdmi out on the computer ?
what about wireless card? is the 1510 N is better ? should i get it ?
what is the back lit keyboard option? is it practical ?
i would like to hear any reccomendation you have since im going to order the notebook in the next few days.
dell decided to replace my notebook from my sig, so I will get a new one. But they're going to replace it with the same item... Can't I call back tomorrow and ask dell to replace it with another system?
Like an XPS 420 or M1330?
I have a new XPS 1640 Dell notebook with ATI Mobility RADEON M96XT 1GB video.
I am using an external 24 in (1920 x 1200 res.) monitor through VGA port.
The notebook has additional HDMI and DisplayPort.
I'd like to know if it is possible to connect a second external monitor. It would be 17 in (1280 x 1024) used as extended desktop, not mirrored. The monitor has DVI port as well as VGA.
If it is possible, which cable should I use? I assume DisplayPort might be better than HDMI. Is there a such cable that converts DisplayPort to DVI?
can you guys recommend the best notebook cooler that will fit for XPS1530.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI had to replace the DC jack in my Inspiron 9300 and it appears to work correctly. Plug a battery in and it charges just fine. However when I turn the computer on it does not POST (or beep in any way at all). I turn on the power, the fans spin up, the HDD spins up, and then about 5 seconds later it all just shuts down. Ive tried taking the HDD and the RAM out to try and get some sort of beep code and i get nothing.

I'm looking for something around $50 USD but I don't mind spending more.
Anyone with any luck in regards to a particular cooler that they have used to keep their temperatures down? I want something that will work well with my laptop specifically.
I also wanted to note that I have a 9 cell battery on my laptop and not the 6 cell (if that makes a difference).
Im looking to buy a Western Digital My Book Studio Edition 2TB External Hard Drive -which can connect via USB, Firewire 400 or 800, or eSata.
Ive chosen this drive since I want to enable the RAID 1 (Mirroring) for automatic backup, which will be priceless for my photos/videos of my children!
If I purchase the drive and also purchase a eSata express card for my Latitude D620, will the transfer speeds be faster then USB2 - or will the fact that the eSata connection is through a express card, rather then being internal, hinder the speed ....
I understand the basic differences between the two technologies, but I'd like to know how the differences relate specifically to the 1530.
Right now, my debate is : 1900x1200 LCD vs. 1440x900 LED.
I like the idea of having an LED screen, specifically for lower power consumption, quicker "on-time", and thinner frame. However, I have to sacrifice by getting a lower resolution screen. On the 1530, does the thinness of the LED screen translate into an overall thinner notebook? It's important to note, that the lower power consumption of the LED isn't much of realistic issue for me, because I'm plugged into a socket 99% of the time. I simply like the idea of being more environmentally friendly.

I currently have a 74gig raptor in my desktop, and I'm going to switch to a notebook for college.
I was wondering how the 7200rpm drives on the m1330 and m1530 compare to this.
I got 2 sticks of Patriot PC4200 200-pin SODIMMs from Fry's, popped them in...and got a single blink of the three lock LEDs, followed by it shutting off. Interestingly, mixing the 1 GB and 2 GB gives me only 2 GB recognized if it's in the first bank, and a memory error if it's in the second bank.
In retrospect, I should have looked at Intel's website - the 915PM only supports 2GB of RAM.At least I can take the RAM back for a full refund.
Posting because I couldn't find the answer to this question anywhere.
I have 5 usb ports on my dell studio 17 notebook, but one of them has a extrange connector, apparently is a self-powered usb port or something like that, but I can't connect a regular usb cable on it.

I want to use my desktop to install XP on a notebook drive that I will then put in an Insiron 8000 notebook. It's too long to explain why I don't just use the notebook to do this.
So, is it possible to do with the PC? I assume I have to get a special type of connecting cable, but can it power the external notebook drive and can the data transfer handle a Windows full install and, finally, from where on the PC do I connect it?
