The DELL Inspiron 9400 is an excellent replacement for a desktop.

It's 2GB Dual channel memory, 256MB ATI Redion and 17" screen is ideal for playing games.

Disadvantage: It's heavy 3.5kg

I'll go for the 3 year warranty.

3 yrs warranty is like $300+ which i dunno how to justify the cost for it. adding up all the modifications with the 3 yrs warranty, it gets around $3400

Anyone knows where I can get a laptop sleeve for the XPS m1210 with the 9-cell extended battery?

TIA

its there, u just didnt look hard enuf. haha. its shifted to the right hand side, down the right corridor. U'll see it.

It is still there, and yes... must look around.... I also went and thought they moved. Walk to the spot the used to be, and looked around, and saw it.... it is there..

I went to look at the lappy..... and see XPS 1210 monitor... like the compact size but if screen is 13, would be better... I think....

Now... still undecided.... and saw the M65 and quite like that piece too.............

M 65.... anyone using this????

 

[Diavonex]

The M65 comes with StrikeZone shock absorber and magnesium-alloy casing.

Any ideal how much it cost?

hey thanks dude!!



anyone know whats DELL policy regarding dead pixel????

 

[Sambuca78]

That is called LCD bleeding, alot of times it will go off by itself after long usage, many called it curing stage to mature the LCD backlight...

Hmnn... sorry, i quote a noobie in term of LCD and i just purchase a 640m.

I m quite annoyed by the bright patch on top and the dark patch below (highlighted areas) during normal usage in windows.

Is it normal for the LCD??? Pls advice...


*. Pls ignore the bright pixel, it is from my Dig cam...

My previous Dell Inspiron 9300 suffered from that, but after a month or so it went away by itself...

The LCD still the same leh, already more than 1.5 mths of run in liao...

[cefazolin]

Dell promised to change my 6400 LCD cos of 1 dead pixel. i bought my laptop in july.

It is around $3 300....

Quite a good price...

I configure a 6400 to those spec, will be close. Come with 2 GB Ram, true to life display, and a professional graphic card with dunno how much RAM....... hard disk size... and it would be close to $3 300. Add in XP Pro, and magnesium casing...... no horse run I feel...
