Jan 6, 2009Other then HDX what else did you consider and why?
Other then the HD screen and 5.1 sound what other features sold you on the HDX? What was unique about this unit that sold you on the HDX?
Did you get Blu-Ray?
I was considering the HDX16t, now looking at the ASUS N50Vn-B1b. It is not a 16" screen and is more of a traditional laptop, however it appears to have superior components for a far better price after today's HP price increases.
I spent a lot of time making my decision, I really hate to change direction at this point, but can't justify the new pricing and supporting HP poor marketing decisions.

Sep 21, 2009I was looking for a luxury ultraportable and considered the Mac Air, Sony Z, Dell Adamo, Asus VX3 Lamborghini, and HP Voodoo Envy 133. I know, Voodoo's future is uncertain.
But I just bought a new Voodoo Envy 133 anyway because the price was right, and I couldn't justify the extra cost of the others.
The best commercial review I found was this:

Any real world user reviews?
I'll be able to add mine when my Envy 133 arrives this week. And as soon as Windows 7 arrives, that will be installed also!
HP/Compaq :: OFFICIAL:dv6 Owners Lounge
May 30, 2009I was wondering who else out there has a dv6, which model and what you think of it!
I've had my dv6 for a day now, specs in my sig. I've not had a lot of brand new laptops, actually only one before this and few powerful ones, but so far I am very impressed.
I have a couple of things in my device manager that are unknown devices since i installed RC, I have installed the card reader, it's not bluetooth or a tv tuner, does anyone have any idea what it could be? Everything I can think of is installed and working.
I love the design, the white lights, touchpad button and the other buttons, I love the keyboard and touchpad and the lit up HP logo on the top of the lid. The only thing I don't like so far is the headphone/mic jacks are on the front. Otherwise top marks to HP! I can't believe how solid it feels
HP/Compaq :: Envy Owners: Raid Using HD 7200rpm
Dec 21, 2009I know that Envy 15 has the ability to use RAID using the Dual SSD option:
From HP website:
Versatile storage options include the ability to add two solid-state drives in a RAID-0 configuration to improve the overall speed of the ENVY 15 while providing excellent disk performance.
Now my question:
It's possible to use RAID 0 using two HD 7200rpm?
The default one comes with 500GB Seagate then I'll buy another one of this + the hd caddy and cable to install it.

Feb 14, 2009I made this thread for the future release of HP's new diagonally one inch HD 320x180 screen notebook. Being smaller than an IPod Nano, HP will have accomplished nothing. Well, it would be a high tech paper weight. what do you all think about the various sizes of the newer HP notebooks? Are they all really necessary?

Apr 16, 2009The LCD is bright and clear when viewed head-on, but the slightest change in vertical angle causes the brightness and colors to vary like mad, making the system unbearable to use on my lap.
I tried to figure out who made this particular LCD, but the intel graphics driver makes it hard to get the EDID info.
The only thing that sort of worked was MonInfo:

And that only worked by getting the raw data string from the EDID structure, which indicates the LCD is part number "NU412.

View 8 Replies View RelatedDell :: Studio XPS 13 Owners: How Well Does WoW And L4D Run For You
Oct 12, 2009I'm about to pull the trigger on either the 13 or the 16. It's really come down to how well the above to games run for you (those are the two that have me hooked at the moment, so i'll be familiar with how I'm used to it performing compared to your settings).
I'm currently on an Asus G2S-A1 thats overheating like crazy. Time to upgrade. It's specs: 2.2Ghz core 2, 4gb ram, 5400rpm hdd, 8600m-gt 256.
Will the XPS13 with a 2.66ghz, 4gb ram, 7200rpm hdd, and the N10-M 512mb gpu perform equal or better then what I'm currently on? I ask because I'm having trouble finding a comparable benchmark.
This wont be my primary gaming rig, it will be portable entertainment. BUT it does need to be able to run on par with what i have or better to entertain me Should I be happy with the 13 or do you think the 16 would be better. The only reason I'd go with teh 16 is for the Radeon 4670 1gb if the 13 has problems with wow and L4D.
If you play WoW or L4D on the 13 (or even the 16) I would GREATLY appreciate the peace of mind i would get from hearing back what your FPS are and what detail/quality settings you're getting them at.
Dell :: Owners, Have You Undervolted?
Jun 22, 2009I'm considering undervolting my Studio XPS 13 that is arriving tomorrow due to the well-known heat issues of that laptop.

Dec 14, 2007i have a overheating issue with my note and i am kind of desperate about it...
I am trying to eliminate the problem right now.. And i am thinking about the fans.
Now i wanna know if the situation is the same with you m1710 owners.
When i (using fangui) put both fans on full speed i am mostly hearing the one on the left (the one close to the cpu), and the second fan is actually pretty quiet...
Is this true with your notes too ?
Or are they making the same amount of noise?
My impression is that the right fan is a lower power fan or something, maybe that's my problem ?
Sony :: Vaio AW Owners
Mar 6, 2009I have currently owned a total of 3 Vaio noteooks. All except one "CR" were made in Japan. I am wondering if the owners of the pre-built AW's could look under their laptops and tell me where they were built.
The CR that I have was build in China. I has had several booting issues among other things. I have noticed that the higher end Vaio books are made in the land of the rising sun
Sony :: Z-series Owners
Jan 27, 2009Questions:
1. What kind of performance issues have any of you seen in the two different Z-series notebooks, specifically with light gaming? I know the Z540 is a 128MB card and the Z590 is a 256MB 9300GS. I was curious if there was any real downside to the 128MB card?
2. Have any of you heard any rumors about when the new CTO Z-series will be available?
The reason I ask both is that I am looking at a newly released Z-series on Best Buy's website:
[url]
Basically looks like a Z540 CTO with good options. My overall goals with the machine are writing code, basic web stuff and of course, WoW.
WoW is my biggest concern with the 128MB card because I have had a 9300GS before and it was pretty poor in the implementation and playing WoW. I was curious if anyone had impressions on the way the 128MB card handles WoW now on the Z-series and if the machine above would work or if I would need to wait for the "newer" Z's to come out and get the larger RAM card.
Acer :: 8920g Owners
Oct 9, 2008I have recently purchased an acer 8930. To be honest the display is pretty rubbish. Alot of backlight streaks.
I have tried to alter the display settings in the nvidia control panel but it won't let me do this. I can slide the bars up and down the % line but nothing on the display changes.
I phoned acer support but they weren't aware of this problem and the guy thought that acer have locked this option.
I was wondering if this is
A. A fault with my laptop
B. Acer doesn't allow this
C. Can do it on the 8920g but not the 8930

Dell :: Question For T7600G Owners
Jul 14, 2007do any software programs (notebook hardware control comes to mind) recognize your additional multiplers? Say if you boot up from bios with it set to 2.33ghz, does nhc automatically recognize the additional multipliers allowing control to 3ghz+ etc?
The reason I'm wondering is that if it does, it may be the case that even without bios support the t7600G may be able to be overclocked on 1705s (I don't believe anyone has modded the 1710 bios to work in the 1705s, right?) ... although the utility may be small because t7600gs are only available through dell right...just some pondering
Dell :: M1710 Owners .. Which CPU Have You Upgraded To
Jan 14, 2008I have an M1710 with a T2600 @ 2.16GHz and looking to possibly upgrade.
My questions are:
1. What have you upgraded to & how much did it cost?
2. Is there list of possible CPU upgrades for the M1710?
3. Where does my processor lie in that list?
4. Is there room for A LOT of speed improvement? Marginal?
5. Is it easy & is there a "how to" somewhere?
Dell :: SXPS 13 Owners: Before I Get The Laptop...
Sep 4, 2009Is the heat overly blown out of proportion with just the 9400m(no SLI)? Is it significantly more than a m1330 with a X3100?
What is the average battery life you get with no gaming(surfing, YouTube, music, word)?
Is the vent going to pose a problem if used on a bed or non-flat surface?
Have the Latency issues been fixed with the audio completely? I've read mixed reports.
I'm thinking about this because Dell offered me a system exchange for my m1330(T7500,LED,Intel X3100,250GB) and said I would be given a SXPS 13 since m1330 is no longer being shipped.
Dell :: XPS M1330 LED Screen Owners.
Jun 3, 2009I got a XPS m1330 with an LED screen. On low brightness, I can see dark spots across the bottom of the screen.
They are usually visible on a white background, like in "My Computer" window. So, I had my screen replaced and today the tech came out and put in a new LED. I am still having the same issue, so I am wondering if they are all like this.
