Dell Laptop User Thread

[salivaman]

Hmm 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure about the older batch of M1530 notebooks. I only know that the new batch comes with the remote control. Just like how the older batch of Inspiron 1420's don't come with the remote control, but suddenly the new batch comes, although the specs are exactly the same. Do you still have the Dell box or at least your Courts tax invoice? Can quote me the product code? It's IP00xxxx.

yes i still have the box as well as the invoice. the product code is IP008571. what is dell XPS 24/7 hotline? this is ridiculous i cannot find the phone number any where and dumb hotlines listed on SG Dell website is closed almost all the time.

any more XPS 1330 users here?
wat are the pros and cons?

i'm seriously considering this laptop.

I am also considering M1330 next to ASUS F8SG and F8N but it seems like the ASUS laptops has shorter battery life. However, selecting the best parts amounts up to 2.9k which is quite steep, and somehow the 9cell battery option is not available on the online store? Any other options out there that I have not considered? I am thinking of waiting till the June PC show to get a better offer, or even an online promotion to buy the laptop since I am only planning to use it for my overseas study (and other home uses i.e. gaming, movies etc) around Sept or so.

Ask hardcore XD he the dell spokeman

If you want, can get the M1330 from me at Courts at $2599. aquabeet visited me today. Hahaha. I'll pm you the XPS hotline. Don't have it on hand now. Paiseh. Heh. 9-cell battery on a M1330 would make it look out of shape due to the jutting out at the back. It will also add weight. Amounting to 1.9kg M1330 instead of 1.79kg with 6-cell battery. You can wait until PC Show. Should have better offers. However, for XPS series, don't expect too much offers as they often sell by themselves no matter what price. XPS is in a league of its own.

Good Game. I am cancelling DELL from my laptop shortlist

[falcon91]

relatively new owner of dell xps m1530 here. to answer your qn, no stability issues thus far.

 

[zhicha0]

If you want, can get the M1330 from me at Courts at $2599. aquabeet visited me today. Hahaha. I'll pm you the XPS hotline. Don't have it on hand now. Paiseh. Heh. 9-cell battery on a M1330 would make it look out of shape due to the jutting out at the back. It will also add weight. Amounting to 1.9kg M1330 instead of 1.79kg with 6-cell battery.

considering to get this laptop soon, any good promos to look out for huh...

whats xps hotline?

 

[seePyou]

2199 offer now

hopefully it is not an april fool joke

 

[zhicha0]

oh yah i just saw from dell online, its 2199... how much was it previously.. good buy now? courts leh?

 

[aquabeet]

If you want powerful performance a m1530 it really cool to use it though
and i bought it at 2599+300 warranty so regarding them selling at 2199 mine is diffrent processor and a 3gb ram.which was last time offer at 2999 i think.so it really up to u.

 

[jovian07]

Hi Guys. I am currently using Dell Inspiron 500m. It is still working fine.. so would like to upgrade the RAM only.

Anyone selling? I was told have to buy original from Dell... cannot get those off-the-shelf type.

Anyone can advise on this?

Thanks!!

You can use the following Kingston RAM:

KTD-INSP8200/256 256MB DDR266 Module
KTD-INSP8200/512 512MB DDR266 Module
KTD-INSP8200/1G 1GB DDR266 Module

 

[jovian07]

must be KTD one rite?
cant find in SLS leh... then must order online le...

 

[Diavonex]

As long as they are DDR266.

It's better that you bring it down to the shop and test; only pay when it works.

Make sure they are covered by reputable distributor.

 

[edixian]

any difference wz buying from Courts or Dell online?

Very undecisive if i should buy dell. Dell doesn't come wz bluetooth and also built in card reader as compare to Acer etc.

Which inspirion model is more suitable for me? Mainly for surfing, burning cds and music and video online and also storing photos.
