I have been using the Inspiron 640m for more than 2 weeks and I hardly notice the fan cutting in.

I have been using the Inspiron 700m for more than 2 yrs, hardly notice the fan cutting in too
I dun see any heat dissipation issue with my lappy.

 

[bryant_16]

Do a search on notebook cooler and you'll have a rough idea which notebook to avoid.

hmm... 1.5 to 1.8k can get a decent light model anot? sound hard right..

 

[gensity]

4 gamers, better go for Precision family is it?

 

[Diavonex]

The 640M belongs to the Inspiron family.

 

[Diavonex]

XPS 1210 for gamers

Service wise I would say they are in my good books.

Alot of my friends couldn't believe that Dell did a one to one exchange of my XPS M1210 cause I complained of a buzzing sound which is irritating to me especially late in the night when I'm typing my reports or liasing with my US customers.

And they promptly place a one to one exchange for me and the new unit arrived within 4 working days, after which i've done moving my data over to the new unit they courier the old unit off.

I've never known such support from HP or even IBM... much less to say unknown unheard brands and some brands like Acer, Fujitsu blah blah blah...

To me a laptop is as good not only as the components that is used, but also the service and support.

Last time i did upgrade of PC for a company and they use Dell for both laptop and desktop. Call them got problem, next day morning come 1 to 1 exchange with no question ask. My fren also said he's very happy with their customer support. Dunno why some people complain, maybe they suey or problem lies with them

for gamer the only *reasonable* options are 6400 or 9400, unreasonable one would be the XPS

other model will not cut it

anyone using Windows Vista with integrated graphics card (Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (with up to to 224MB of shared1 system memory)? how is the performance like? smooth?

wondering how much Vista really needs a dedicated graphics card.
