Notebookreview.com got a lot of people complaint about the LCD screen on
Vostro 1500 and Inspiron 1520. Does this happens in singapore DELL?
I went down to their kiosk in suntec, the LCD on 1520 is horrible!!!
It's just not bright enough and white color on screen look like yellow to me!
I cancelled my order after few days.

What a waste! Many happy dell user here. Agreed on u tat the screen not bright enough, tat the only minus pts but aren't most lappy like tat?

Dell is at CP this weeked!

I took pics. Scare yall long zhong chiong in and slam me with NPNTs.

Got some extra stuff if you buy at this roadshow, extra ram (additional 1Gb) extra AV subscription to 3yrs or something. But I dun see any additional warranty.

[Sendoh82]

eh i called dell hotline. they say got recall for xps notebooks battery. u all know is what model?

nb recently my charger like getting very hot.

 

[tszkitc]

Dun think so.
You can simply compare the 1420 LCD with 1520 LCD,
and you know what I mean!!!
My last notebook is 700m, the screen is excellent!
By the way, I love Dell Notebooks but
this time is just TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!

So no concern

My bad, i owned 1520, but never see 1420 actual view b4. So between the 2, which screen brighter?

Maybe my astimagism too high, it just not bright enough for my eyes.

i've got to be honest here



first im sorry for being honest

My view still stands


If you've got money to spare, please splurge on a mid-high tier laptop
meaning
-2 GB RAM or more
-dedicated gfx card (if cash is tight in somewhat way, at least lowest dedicated)
-3 year coverage warranty ( Accidents DO happen, its just the matter of when.
so when it happens dont cry foul for Dell support team)


More money, get better stuff. don't worry about the word "Latest".... such term in technology doesn't really exist, esp true in sg.

The other issues, would be weight and screen ratio. That you must have a clear view, as mention take a nice walk down city hall at the Dell shop.

If money IS an issue, then just get the cheapest. Thats there is to it




Now side problem in this Dell thread,

I hope certain people would wise up. Its not about asking this or that. =(not against PandaCat)= But rather how non constructive commments slowly come in this thread.
E.g This XXXXX is cheaper......that XXXX model cannot make it. blah blah blah.....

Please if you do not own a dell, dont comment
IF you hate it after the purchase, you just didn't look into details when deciding on the laptop.

Like wise, we Dell user group are quite confined to just within here. We might suggest buying dell due to the fact we ARE happy AND satissfied with our purchase


Mostly, Diav or Addict or some wiser ones would love to answer any daily problems one might encouter. But this again, is just for troubleshooting, not for comparsion charts

 

[cyberian]

Well said BradenHeat. I'm a happy DELL user, twice. My first is DELL 630, now M1330.... and I'm still smiling

 

[galeron]

Yeah agreed...Dell XPS m1210 user here, no problems at all.

Even Linux runs perfectly. What more can I ask for?
