Dell :: Too Slow Real Speed When Burning DVD
Aug 26, 2009I have a problem with my Combo device (TSSTcorp) on my Dell Inspiron. When I burn a DVD data disk with Nero it is burned at 1X to 1.2X. It doesn't matter which speed I have set (4X or 8X). So it takes approximately 50 minutes to burn a full DVD and after that the verification takes same time at this speed again.
When I burn a CD the real speed is again slower than the speed I have chosen. And at the end of the burning process I get a message saying that "buffer underrun error has been avoided hundreds of times" or something like this.
Dell :: ESATA Speed Still Busted On 1340
Jun 24, 2009Does anyone have ESATA working fully on this laptop at 3.0gbps? I thought I did but it turned out it would only work for small file transfers. Anything more than a few hundred MB would cause disk I/O errors.
I know that per the old ESATA thread Studio XPS 13, eSATA doesn't work most users worked around this problem by setting the enclosure or disk drive to limit the speed to 1.5gbps.
But I currently have an external mobile disk that doesn't let me jumper the limit (the western digital scorpio black wd3200bekt).
I contacted dell support on this a couple times now but they have no information.
Contrast this to Apple who just had an SATA speed problem with this very same chipset in their macbooks and they fixed it in about a week after the news broke: ...
Dell :: REAL Max RAM Amount For 1705
Apr 9, 2008FAQ indicates 4GB as max amount of RAM. But Dell's own data at [url] says 2GB.
To make things more confusing, some posts on notebookreview listed that exact URL as proof that the 1705 would use 4GB. So the Dell info was probably revised from 4GB to 2GB.
Dell :: What's The Real Situation For Delivery Times?
Nov 9, 2009I am thinking of buying a Dell. However, in the Dell forum, there are really a lot of people who complain about the bad treatment they had regarding very long delays in delivery (or orders that are cancelled and rescheduled at a later date), in addition to incomplete or not reliable customer support.
So, the question is, are just whiners/exceptional cases, or there is indeed a diffuse problem for Dell about keeping the promised delivery times?

Dell :: Still No Update On XPS Refresh Or Studio W/real Gfx Card
Jan 2, 2009Been lurking the boards over the last 9 months and every month (at least used to be) there was a "Just around the corner Dell is refreshing their XPS line" or "releasing a new Studio with better graphics card" post.
Now they either seem to have died entirely (i.e. people realize why there has been no XPS refresh with Montevino) or I'm missing where those posts have gone.
Before I put some $$$ towards an HP, any news?
I like the Studio line but their graphics cards are quite low and the XPS are about as old as an Apple ][e :/
Sony :: Real Internet Slowdowns VPC-Z
May 15, 2010all of a sudden my internet goes EXTREMELY slow on the VPC-Z. Like crawlingly slow. Sometimes it comes back itself, other times I have to turn the wireless switch off and back on again to resolve it.
At the same time my main PC which uses the same router and connection is running fine.
I have tried changing the internet settings to a fixed 192.168.1.9 address and also using DHCP as normal, but neither resolved it.
Dell Inspiron N7110 :: 00C08270 Real Time Clock Error
Dec 12, 2014Whenever I boot up my laptop without the AC adapter plugged in I get a beeping error. 00C08270 Real Time Clock error pops up on the screen before start up. From my research it tells me that it could be the CMOS battery or the motherboard. If it's the CMOS battery I'm willing to replace the battery myself but if it's the motherboard I will probably need to go to the shop for that. What I'm afraid of is the cost. If my problem is the CMOS battery I don't know where to buy the battery replacement myself and if it's the motherboard, is it worth it to pay the cost of replacement and from what I know paying for a new OS too? or should I buy a new laptop instead?

Dell :: XPS 1340 Just Say NO Then YES
Feb 20, 2009I just ordered a XPS 1340 fully loaded P9600/LED/4GB/Nvidia 256/256GB SSD/BT option.
I used my Dell credit card (logon to Dell.com/DPA5PERCENT)(evalue code 6M278-DYPDFP1)to get 5% plus a $150 gift card.
I started with a chat then they called me. After humming and hawing the rep was unable to to a better deal than my saved cart. I said thanks anyway but its out of my budget.

Now that I have it where I can use the machine after about an hour of web surfing it seems like the bottom is pretty hot and near the vent is so hot you could not hold your hand there. I was thinking of calling dell back and talking to them about it. Are other people experiencing a lot of heat with this computer?

Oct 26, 2009I have an XPS 1340 on order, with the g210m graphics card. I have been reading about this computer, and while performance seems good,
I am starting to freak out a little bit about the heat issues people are reporting, even recently and with the new g201m.
I owned a laptop once with heat issues, and I don't want to go back to the bad old days of lockups and crashes related to heat.
I am thinking of canceling my order (or returning it if I can't), and getting the Vaio SR with the HD4570 graphics card.
What do people think of this as an alternative?
I lose the backlit keyboard and small amount of potential graphics performance, but also lose heat issues, fan noise, and potential problems related to the SLI configuration.

View 10 Replies View RelatedDell :: A Few Pre-purchase Q's On The XPS 1340
Mar 31, 2009I think I have decided to purchase a Dell Studio XPS 1340, as I require a new laptop before the end of June and I'm not sure anything better in this class will be available before then.
I will be using it for a bit of everything, including work, portability, hooking it up for presentations, general surfing on the couch and some minor game playing. I have a few questions about purchasing it.
1. CPU. At the moment both the P9500 (2.53GHz) and the P9600 (2.66GHz) cost an extra $388.30. Shouldn't the P9600 cost more than the P9500? Am I missing something here?
2. Screen. I get a lot of glare on my current laptop at work. Does the XPS 1340 have a glossy or matte screen? Does choosing WLED or CCFL have any effect on this?
3. Deals. There is currently a $150 cash off deal which ends tomorrow (Thursday). This seems like a pretty good deal to me.
Should I take this or is there a high likelihood a better deal will be available soon? I will also be using the EPP code as I'm a full-time student.
Are there any other coupons I could use? In addition to being a full-time student, I am also a small business owner (strange combo I know), and have bought Dell desktops for employees in the past. Would I be able to get a better deal going through a small business sales channel .....
Dell :: 1340 Or 1640?
Jun 27, 2009I'm really debating on which laptop to get, since I've heard a fair share of both good/bad reviews from both models.
I'm not really a heavy gamer, just a little Counter-Strike 1.6 and WarCraft III.
I was looking for portability with the 1340, but the aspect of full 1080p on the 1640 keeps pulling me back!
I'm just worried that the 1640 will be too big for me to be considered "portable" and more of a desktop replacement. .
Dell :: Skype, XPS 1340, IDT

So, I was wondering can anyone recommend a Skype version that is pretty friendly with the XPS 1340. or can I use the IDT drivers for the 1640 that I read about working with Skype
