Dell Laptop User Thread

[darrenlee78]

Any 510m user here? Was thinking of getting a 510m instead of 6000 cos dun like the widescreen, fonts are too small to be seen. Any comments on 510m?

510m is quite good as basic machine for surfing, emails etc

Hi my friend is thinking of getting a dell inspire 6000. Asking on behalf of him.

I'm wondering are the following upgrades worth it?

$103 to upgrade from a 64mb x300 to x300 128mb. intending to use this laptop to do some light hl2 gaming
(i cannot find anybody with a 64mb x300 with google so i can't compare performances at all)
YES, because you can upgrade graphic card after you have bought it so go for the best.


$130 to increase from 60gb 4200rpm to 60gb 7200rpm?
7200 rpm harddisk will drawn ur battery power faster. depends on how much portability u need.

$170 to increase from 2x256mb to 1x512mb? are ddr2 prices going to drop anytime soon? they are very expensive at the moment
2 x 256 is fine

$30 from 6 cell to 9 cell batt? (i'm thinking yes, need a confirmation)
Yes, definitely

thanks in advance......................

Yeps... my latitude's tiny fan doesn't spin until the CPU does some work and actually heats up...


tidus792,

1) $103 to upgrade from a 64mb x300 to x300 128mb. intending to use this laptop to do some light hl2 gaming
(i cannot find anybody with a 64mb x300 with google so i can't compare performances at all)

-64MB should be enuf. As with desktop gaming, the classic 64MB ti4200 performs and even beats a 128MB ti4200...


2) $130 to increase from 60gb 4200rpm to 60gb 7200rpm?

-A faster hdd always improves performance...


3) $170 to increase from 2x256mb to 1x512mb? are ddr2 prices going to drop anytime soon? they are very expensive at the moment

-DDR2 still quite ex, is there big price diff between these 2? Try to leave 1 slot free


4) $30 from 6 cell to 9 cell batt? (i'm thinking yes, need a confirmation)

-Yep! that's the reason for getting a portable in the first place...

bro.. y no sticky yet?

Hey guys does the Latitude D600 have Wireless Lan connection built into the laptop itself?
Coz I wanna connect it to a projector that has a wireless function built in when I insert the PCMCIA card into the projector pc card slot.
