arghh... no merdeka sales for vostro series


sounds promising... but no vostro owner care to give their opinions, is vostro overhyped?

for the chassic, yes there is a diff in btw inspiron & vostro.
the rest I dun see any other diff.
for warranty coverage, vostro also have same warranty like inspiron, and also with better type of warranty such as gold technical phone support meant is based on 24x7. any other thing better than inspiron, pls comment.

These vostro series looks seems not very attracting..i more like the new inspiron now.

as stated the vostro series is actually more for business users with better built quality. The new inspiron which comes with alternative color choices, is aiming for teenagers, ladies and students.

Now i do think vostro 1400, weight at 2.4kg, should be a great choice for regular traveller, at reasonable attractive price, comparing to vostro 1500 at 2.9kg.

I got this one Vostro 1400 with only RM2941, ordered at 28th August and got delivered by this morning!

Added: and yes.. the printer is FREE OF CHARGE!!

no vostro user here? come share ur experience... like the back light issue on inspiron... does it happen on vostro?

i suppose they are the same lar, some are mild and some are severe, and it's subjective to each individual too. btw, expected to receive my vostro on oct 5th, will let u guys know by then.

ah... when did u order urs? waiting time how long? i'm stuck now, thinking to get vostro, but scare got problems... other brands get to see the laptop b4 buy, but they are more expensive than dell...

i got my vostro in 5 working days

no problem with LCD light leakage cause i am using Non Truelife screen

ordered 9/17, just checked the status, it is in transit now, should be arrived on 9/25. i have faith in dell, it's my 2nd unit, can ask for full refund if not satisfy within 14-days.

@princehamsap eh the truelife thing isit non-truelife the screen is matte type while truelife is glossy type? or now all oso glossy type liao? i'm eyeing the ultra sharp 1...

i saw dell website the 1400 under performance tab... it has a huge storage tag, tat 1 is considered weekly promotion or it is packaged this way? i mean will it be still available in time to come? tat model coupled with free 2 gig ram seems a very good bargain...

@sotong, seems can get the lappy quite fast eh....

i suppose it is due to less popular/demand than inspiron and no color option, tat's y they could deliver earlier.

i also waitinf for my vostro 1500 coming...joining all of ur soon...

truelife = glossy type lcd screen
non-truelife - matte type lcd screen

if not mistaken...huhuhu...

when choosing, make sure they stated it truelife or non-truelife....follow by lcd screen resolution i think...

Hey, I am planning to get Vostro on Tuesday or later.

Does anyone want to get it together with me? Then we can both have another RM100 online rebates!

This vostro quite hard to find driver for XP. I format n install XP running much faster compared to Vista.

hey all, finally my vostro 1500 reached my house evening...so happy can join all of you...but my true life screen seem like LCD light leakage...anyway glad to join all of you
