Hm, got a Dell Inspiron 8600.

 

[scramblur11]

Hi can I check with u guys? Anybody know whether I can check whether the LCD of my 6000 is ultrasharp or ultra-not-so-sharp? I try checking bios but they only my screen as Wide XGA only?

Thanks~!

 

[darrenlee78]

yes i agree with windchijmes, they should have sctrach resistance skin for WHOLE cover

since all DELL laptops are customisable, they can make it an option in the website when u purchase, my 9300 is very vulnerable to scratches... as all DELL i guess.

oh ya... maybe dell can make sleeves also =) not every one want to carry heavy bag.

There are many 3rd party options for sleeves

wat do u mean by sharp?? r u referring to the screen resolution??

6000 should be WXGA..

u might wanna know more abt screen resolution here http://www.qg.fi/screeninformation.html

I'm considering getting the SB Audigy 2 PCMCIA for the notebook. I don't mind paying the money for better sound. Will it fit into the PCMCIA slot of the 700m?

Or do our fellow Dell users have any good ideas to improve the sound quality output? I'm quite fussy about sound... I live in a boring place and music is a major source of entertainment. Already got my friend to bring in my Sennheiser earphones from Singapore

Dell Notebook 700m and 630m

I would like to purchase a replacement notebook and wonder which of the 2 has better battery life. Also anyone has any major hiccup with the Dell 700m?

Appreciate some feedback form this Dell thread.

Cheers

Battery life should be about the same if you upgrade the 700m to a 9 cell battery.
630m is a regular sized laptop(2kg+) while 700m is a portable.(1.7kg)

Considering the 630m can't be configured with a dedicated graphics card and its heavier weight (even with the 8-cell battery of the 700m, it weights only 1.9kg), I'd take the 700m anyday. But if a bigger screen is important, then go for the 630m by all means.

No major hiccups with the 700m so far. Been using it for 4 months

 

[saigonblack]

everything ok onmy 700m, same, using it for 4 months

 

[darrenlee78]

go for 700m

hi ppl, been using Inspiron 5100 for a couple of yrs liao, juz face a problem today...

my USB mouse is connected to my laptop via a PCMCIA 2 USB ports card as my 2 onboard USB ports are occupied by ext. drives. the thing is that the card produce a high pitch sound when my mouse is connected to it, but when i connect my ext. drives to it instead, there is no such sound.

yes, i could have connected my ext. drives to the card and solve the problem, but that would make data transfer unstable and cause my drives to hang often.

any1 encounter such things b4?

For Inspiron 6000, does anyone know the diff in weight between 6-cell and 9-cell batteries?

I'm thinking to buy but not sure which battery is better.
