Not trying to get into a fight.

However, u fail to see the point. This are all personal views. There are no right or wrong. What u corrected is all ur personal views. I am just airing my view. Again i stress again there is no right or wrong. Just personal view. There is different threshold for everyone.

Therefore i do not understand what give u the rite to change my statement? It is all what i think of the machine. You too have ur own view. I do not correct ur view becos it is ur view. I have to remind u again this is a forum not a school. There is no wrong or rights.

Again i am not picking a fight. I am again just airing my view. I personally do not think i am trying to mislead anyone. The guy just ask me for my views. So i reply him.

Good to see that you're sharing your view with our dear friend here. But what I think is, if you gave the wrong info to people, you might mislead them. Our dear darren bothers to correct them and prevent any misleading cases. I dont see whats wrong with it and I'm not picking a fight.

Hehe... if you can't wait to ogle go down the Suntec Dell booth lor. There're some display sets there.

Anyway, the 64MB shared video RAM is not that bad. I fancy old games so this is not a problem. 700m was not designed to be a gamer's rig, and probably should not be used as such, and no laptop can ever beat a properly-equipped desktop in terms of gaming to begin with. I treat it as a portable Celeron desktop for work; the multimedia and speed are just bonuses.

Got a Dell 6000, ordered it during the PC fair. Good solid PC.

Anybody know how to get the DVD drive region free?

Just check out this review, where a laptop has beaten a decent desktop.

I stand corrected!

But hey, that thing is 3.9kg! I mean, I think I'd like bigger muscles, but not by lifting that!

 

[darrenlee78]

doubles as weights

Weee gotten my 700m today~
But quite saddening, my 700m was supposed to be running at 1.6ghz. But when i was undervolting my lappy, i saw my CPU actual speed thru RM Clock running only at 590-599mhz. Why like that ah? Any experts can show me the light?

Its nearly a beast, less the GeForce Go 6800... haa haa... X300 isn't much of a performer to be frank... unless you're fine with your games at 1024x768...

 

[kenlinliu1419]

I'm not really a game player to be honest..... probably an odd game of Solitaire and that's it. I'm sure my newbie laptop can handle that! ha ha
