i own it.. but i come with 3 yrs warranty.. do u facing the mircosoft office click to run 2010 protected Q:

Oh, mine's with 2 years limited hardware warranty.
I can't tell you anything yet, haven't even received it lol. Just placed my order yesterday. Hopefully getting it within less than a week.

Still, any tips/problems with yours?

Inspiron 14R reporting in! came with i5 480M and 5650 1GB and 4GB ram.

problem is the microsoft office click to run 2010 protected Q drive appear beside C drive... access is denied.. i called dell, they stated if come with starter 2010 is like that.. dun try uninstall it.. it will still at there.. i worried messed up whole registry.. all smooth and silky.. after used 1 mth.. my temp slightly around 50+ from 40+

Oh, so you cannot access MS Office 2010? Dell didn't help you solve the problem meh?
Nice to hear it's running well, anyway, it's 40 ~ 50+ for idle, right? What about gaming? How hot will it get?

i can access ms office.. just can't access the Q drive.. and it appear make me feel uneasy.. everything smooth just the things appeared make me frustrated..
Q drive is 0 but it like a hidden files.. can del but can't del cleanly.. so i din touch.. dell support said is common.. cos starter is like that w/o license key..

Playing Assassin's Creed with maximum graphic settings, 88'C in a room with temperature of 26'C. Idle at 50.
That's just the 5650, though.

The i5 processors are always at low temperatures. Never exceeded 70'C. Idle at about 30 ~ 35.

Any of u guys using the 13R? How does it fair? Thinking to get that or the acer 3820TG still ex dell user so leaning towards Dell but the Acer price is surely attractive.

i can access.. but the Q drive appear only.. access is denied.. u get what i mean? 74 while on game gua..

I have the same issue, lol.
Q drive appears after opening Office but cannot be accessed. I don't think it's a big problem, though.
What I hate about Office Starter is that it doesn't come with Powerpoint

If got Word+PPT+Excel then it would be enough for my Uni work. Now idk whether I should keep it and use Openoffice for PPT or uninstall 2010 and install 2007 because I have the genuine Office 2007.

74's pretty good. Mine goes up to 85.
Max settings on Assassin's Creed.

Hi guys. 3-year old Inspiron 1420 user (bought late 2008) reporting in. Sadly my Inspiron's screen died recently and I'm out of warranty. Anyone here can give a good estimate of how much Dell may charge to replace the screen?

i just browsed Dell webbie, it seems like there is Inspiron 14 and also 14R. Any idea what are the difference on both models? Is it ok for me to take Inspiron 14, any issues on that model ?

Anyone upgraded their battery?

The standard battery on my N5010 can last 2+ hours only.

Was wondering if upgrade makes big difference.

Basically just design, 14R the newer model...
What spec for the Inspiron 14 and price ?

T512013MY-Dell™ Inspiron™ 14
Intel® Core™ i3-380M Processor (2.53Ghz, 4Threads, 3M cache)
14.0" HD WLED True-Life (1366x768)
2GB (1 X 2GB) 1 DIMM DDR3 1333Mhz
500GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5430 - 512MB

RM1899

Do you need it for gaming ?

nope, i dont game that much nowadays. Maybe sometimes for some online games and also watching movies and also some movie editing.

That should be enough...

There's also Lenovo G470 with i3 2310M within that budget...
