Dell Laptop User Thread

M using an Inspiron 510m...

Just wanna ask...whats the difference between Pentium M and the "normal" Pentium desktop computers use?

Also, is there any way of cooling down my laptop since it heats up very quickly after using for a while?

PM users less power and it design wif less power and heat in mind...

ur laptop which area is hot? if hdd, there is nothing much u can do abt it...

Ok ... thanks for the info ...

Cos I am at Overseas ... and wanted to order 630m ... deducting the 1 gig ram & 3 yrs warranty, the cost abt $1.7k ... I wanted to take e 3 yrs complete warranty, but there only upgrade is 1 yr complete warranty at $95 ...

Now waiting for Dell CSO to call me ... and to check with them ...

It is not possible to upgrade the graphic right ...

Correct.. the graphics cannot be upgraded... anyway i'm not using it for games

Anyone know how to check the Dell order status when you buy it from Sitex?

speedballs are those like one ball split into half use to lift the back of the laptop. cooling... enhance air ventilation

There a dell kiosk over at suntec where u can see the product....think it is on the 1st floor...u can order there on the sopt if u wan also....but u got to take note leh...sometimes the specs displayed beside the laptop is not accurate one.....

Eg. the screen on the laptop is SXGA....but the specs and promo shown beside it is based on the XGA screen....complain to dell last time liao...but dunoe they change yet anot...
