I am eyeing on 11z too, the spec/size/weight/cell longevity is just right, price is competitive too but I am hoping could get discount in this year end X'mas sales or maybe as early as Deepavali if any?

its 11.6 inch
dimension for 11z as below Width: 11.5" (292mm) Height: 0.92" (23.5mm) front / 1.02" (25.8mm) back (with 3 cell battery) Depth: 8.43" (214mm) below is the dimension for dell 13: Dimensions & Weight Width: " (322mm) Height: " (27mm) front / " (31mm) back Depth: " (218mm) actually just a bit bigger only but performance is lot different and price is rm100 different with the lowest spec of dell 13... (abt 1 inch+ longer, 5mm thicker and 4mm longer).. but u can get core 2 duo, extra port like vga, express card slot, 320gb HDD.. but of cos 11z may win in battery life ..both got pro and cons.. for me the price is just too close and the spec make some huge different.. i willl just hold till got discount first This post has been edited by Hico: Oct 3 2009, 11:47 PM |

Actually, I already own a HP notebook which i lug around to work everyday. What I require is a smaller size one which I can bring a long when i go travelling. Thus main requirement is small size, lightweight & long battery life. and i also just realized recently su4100 is used in dell 14z and 4810tz timeline series..selling price is rm1999 without os and 1gb ram and rm2399 with vista home premium, 2gbram, 320gb and dvd writer.. Other than that, I intend to use it to interface my Clavinova piano to compose some music. Thus I intend to run software like Cakewalk or Cubase on it. I also hope that it can run Visual Studio 2008 Express edition, so that I can do some development work when I am the road. (Actually, I hope it can also run virtual PC, but I think thats probably pushing the limit  ) On special offers, I think price will go lower towards Christmas. However, I am doing some heavy travelling towards Nov - Dec so I might not have the luxury to wait for price drop. This post has been edited by whizzer: Oct 4 2009, 12:36 AM |

amd neo is not much faster than atom except the graphic performance.. and its hot also..u can try see the comment for HP DV2. except u go for amd neo dual core..other few models u list out is only using atom processor.. so i personally feel that 11z is the best choice if you better performance than atom.

lol...the main diff now is the processor. I reckon i might need the dual core coz i hope i can do everything with it ( other than gaming) It should last me for at least 2 yrs( college) since i'm getting a proper laptop during uni ( in any case, i may still use the mini for its portability)

I simply needed something portable to get me through college life (presentation..starbuck-ing...toilet-surfing....etc)...something that i can chug right into my schoolbag. I'll defo get a multipurpose laptop in 2 yrs time. The Dell13 recommended by you would seem more of a laptop with its 13.3' screen. How long can its battery last bytheway? |

why would people think SU4100 is weak? Its just mind boggling. and those even trying to compare it with Atom and NEO is even beyond understanding. The SU4100 is so much more powerful then my bloody sempron 64 desktop at home which i think it bloody fast still.

For one thing, this pseudo-netbook (note that its not classed as a netbook) can go to 4GB RAM compared to Atom based ones which max@2GB. This increased RAM probably will improve yr performance for apps like photoshop. However, I suspect that fullblown Photoshop CS4 might be sluggish but with this "class" of computer, you should only be running photoshop elements. Lesson learnt for those intending to purchase :- Please wait for DELL special offers of discounts. I bought it too soon as they offer the RM100/- discount the next day. I asked them if I could add the coupon but they said cannot as already ordered.  Also still waiting for it to arrive next week. Will post some review once I get it.

That in it self is progress. What then do you expect them to put into a 11.6" laptop that is 1 inch thick? A P8700 cpu with HD4670 gfx? you have to be realistic. And realisticly, it is packaged for mobility, with processing power way sufficient for basic computing work to photoshop to HD content, yet providing a low power consumption product.

I never once said that the Inspiron 11z should pack more of a punch. I was merely stating that the Atom processor alone is rather weak in comparison to other processors that sport higher TDPs, think Merom. Technically, you sacrifice overall performance for battery longevity. Again, I didn't take size of any sort into account.

By discounting outdated stuff I was referring to much older processors such as the legacy Celeron line-up. And the three thirds was a typo. It should have been two. |

I think better to wait for the Asus UL20A. Much faster processor, C2D and also longer batter life. Unit is lighter too with a 12 inch.
Price would definitely be the same or cheaper. Dell is quite sad to quote 6 hours when all netbooks and culv are pushing up to 10 hours. |

Yes, very true. Dell may have the best support service and also very good quality but their batteries are crap. Even their whole mini atom range have crap battery life.
Since a notebook's most important aspect is the battery life, Dell has really failed. I use an Asus 1000HE and I get 8 hours of battery with wifi usage per day. My friends use the Inspiron Mini, 3 hours sudah mati |

according to the website, they say the 6 cell can give 6 hours and 36 minutes.
So, in real terms, it should be around 4 to 5 hours. For such a heavy unit, it should be much longer.

Why upgrade to 4GB when Win 7 runs perfectly at 2GB. There is no speed increase really.

Home Premium is the best for semi-pro home use.
Professional has more of networking stuffs (suitable for corporate use). Ultimate is overkill (all-in-one OS). One more thing: pricing! Home Premium Retail = RM459. OEM = RM369. <-- quite affordable even when u get Retail. |

"Maximum physical CPUs supported"
What does this mean? The Starter and Premium can support only 1 whereas the Prof and Ult can support 2 |

they're not displaying any 11z. whichis kind of weird.
i think they don't want 11z to steal the limelight of their other products. if customer see 11z has lower price than others, 11z might sell more! |

nobody seems to have it. I guess people think its crazy to pay RM2200 for a mere "netbook" with a CULV. People rather buy a full core2duo machine for RM2200.
Its a psychology thing. RM1300, people don't mind and that is why the netbooks at that price are selling well. It is a matter of time before Dell drops the price substantially. |

I manage to get my 11z last week. First thing I did was to install Windows 7 Ultimate on it. Speed wise is ok. I didnt expect much from this machine. I had installed Virtual PC on it. Manage to get my Win2k3 vhd running but performance is too slow. I have not tried Photoshop but performance for other apps are acceptable.
Pros - Bright & clear screen - Almost normal size keyboard. - Most apps runs well - Touch pad gestures saves time once you have master it. - Long battery life (6 hrs) - 3 USB port + 1 HDMI + 1 LAN Cons - Not nearly as light as I wanted it. - Touchpad sometimes misunderstand (e.g. I accidently zoom in quite often) - Six cell battery sticks out. (If you carry yr notebook in a bagpack its ok, however, if you are a notebk sleeve person, this will not do) - Fingerprint magnet.. The battery that sticks out actually make typing easier. Also, I wish they had offer to package 2 x 3 cell battery. This post has been edited by whizzer: Nov 6 2009, 12:26 AM |

UL20 is at shockingly 2699. I'd go for the Dell. But bear in mind ita abt 1.6KG and not that light.

If I was going for the performance, I would not be getting a netbook I had been trying out virtualisation on 11z. The Windows 7 virtualization doesnt work because it really requires a processor that supports virtualization (hyperX?). MS Virtual PC 2007 does work and I had manage to get it to load . However, after testing, its not recommended as well, though it works, it gets jerky. (Could be that I was running a Win2k3 vhd with MOSS sharepoint 2007 loaded )Thus, I would say, this pc is strictly for "low" power usage and travelling purpose. |

Thanks, guys for posting up your reviews and thoughts in this thread. I couldn't find the review on CNet Asia and glad I came across this here in LYN.
I've been looking to upgrade the Acer netbook I have for something more powerful but still light enough for work traveling and personal use. The 11z caught my eyes when I saw it on Dell website but still thinking if I should get this or just get a powerful, long battery netbook like the EEE PC. I only need it for basic word processing, browsing, basic photo and video editing. Should I get this? |

^ eeepc is still netbook, thus performance is similar with your acer netbook.
11z is much more powerful especially the one with su4100. |

Just got my 11z last Friday ... was kinda surprised it only took 5 working days to reach me after confirmation of payment as I've been hearing a lot of delivery delays from Dell.
As whizzer has mentioned, my only complain is the 6 cell battery which sticks out from back and adds weight but gives me extended battery life. Realistically it gives me 6+ hours on a full charge for casual browsing and some skype with video.

It is no wonder why the Dell concept stores don't put the machines on display. I think they are too scared to show this netbook to anybody.
No one with the right frame of mind will buy this netbook after seeing the battery. It is so misleading to see the Dell website of an image of a person holding the netbook with mere two fingers. Trust me, it sticks out like 2 inches on the bottom. Bibby Girl, try to return it or sue Dell Malaysia as the image shown is misleading. This post has been edited by thena123: Dec 8 2009, 06:07 PM |

then sue them. It is misrepresentation. The product does not match the description. Speak to a manager and ask him or her who you can direct the lawyer's letter to.

I'm thinking to grab Dell laptop this month but still waiting for the great week deal since 1st Dec .. this week deal will be end by 17 December but currently not attractive .. I wonder if it's better to buy after 17 Dec? Perhaps Christmas deal? or end year sales? Did the deal I mention exist in previous year ? Anyone have an experience buying Dell laptop a weeks before Christmas or perhaps the end of year sales? Sorry for a lot of question ..
Thanks .. dunno where to ask this .. This post has been edited by Irzani: Dec 11 2009, 06:19 AM |

Review Dell Inspiron 11z Notebook
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-I...ok.23037.0.html Pro + Clearly higher performance than netbooks + HDMI + Small, quiet and light + Low power usage + Good worksmanship + Multi-touch function + Hardware installed in the laptop is typical for its class Contra - Glossy display - Delicate lid - No VGA (important for those users who use older peripheral devices) - Only moderate battery life - Difficult to upgrade the internal components |

AFAIK, i dont think there will be problems with the drivers. My friend do have a Inspiron 14" (not sure whether the model is exactly the same as the RM1499 one), and it can install Windows7 without any problem. Heck, my 14z driver CD does come preinstalled with some Vista Driver instead. |

Dear Inspiron sifus,
I have a Dell Inspiron 1440 here and I can't seem to get the bluetooth to work. The notebook couldn't detect the hardware at all after reformatting. I was wondering whether you guys could let me know where to download the bluetooth driver? I think is Dell 365 Bluetooth Module or something. Thanks in advance for your help This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Jul 22 2010, 04:38 PM |

Both the same performance if the spec is the same, just that 13R don't have optical drive, hence lighter....

14R can have better specs and different design from 14, hence the higher price tag as well....

The only drivers is for Windows 7 64bit which I'm not able to find for Windows 7 32bit. Can anyone enlighten me on this? |

Thinking of getting Inspiron, never used this type of model before.
Anyone had very poor experiences? Thinking of RM1499/1599 models, but don't know if old CPUs are too crappy or not. 2GB RAM enough for Windows 7? My Windows 7 laptops/desktop lags with 4GB RAM. |

Hi guys, I just placed on order for a Dell Inspiron 15R. The one with ATI HD5650.
I think I've made the right choice. For that price, you get a good processor, 4GB 1333Mhz, 500GB 7200RPM and more importantly, HD5650. Anyone that owns this laptop? Please share some tips on how to make it more awesome. Oh btw, my laptop sits on my desk 99% of the time. Only bringing it out when I go travelling which is once a year. I don't think I need to worry too much about warranty, right? It's not like things will start to fail within a year or 2. |

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.

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? |

Need to wait for reviews, for now, GT525M is just a downclocked GT540M, now depends whether Dell downclock that GT525M or not, like what they did with the HD5650...
As for the nVidia card, you need to go to the nVidia control panel and whitelist the game to use nVidia card.. This post has been edited by lee_what2004: Mar 15 2011, 11:15 PM |

By adding RM400, total next business day on-site visit warranty of 4 years is already peaceful mind for me.
Other brands may have some free extended warranty eg acer, but theirs is not next day immediate fix at your own comfort/ place.

I believe all Dell Inspiron laptop comes with a motherboard that has GPU built into it. Means you can't separate the GPU from the motherboard.
I'm a Dell Inspiron 1420 user for 3 and a half year (my 3-year Dell warranty already expired). I would say Dell's warranty service is really awesome, my 3-year Dell warranty comes with international warranty. I fried the GPU on my motherboard twice during the first 2 years of warranty. My first time was when I was in Macau, China, I called Dell Hong Kong and the next day they sent a technician to replace my motherboard for free. Impressive eh? My dell inspiron was bought in Malaysia and I called Dell Hong Kong to fix it for me while I was in Macau for free because I have the InHome or OnSite service warranty. The second time I fried my motherboard was when I was in my hometown in Sabah. They also sent their contractor with the motherboard to replace my defective motherboard. Why my motherboard is dead? Because of the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit, widely known as graphics card). My air vent was full of dust and I was a first time laptop user and I didn't know how to take good care of my laptop. It was just at times when the hot air blown out of the air vent wasn't strong anymore, means all the dust was stuck at the air vent. At the end the laptop was heat up during gaming, my screen came out with funny colors then hanged, I restarted my laptop and that's it, black screen lol. The technician replaced the motherboard for me and I saw how he disassembled the laptop, so at the end I know how to disassemble my laptop with the help of watching some youtube videos (people do post some videos to teach you how to do it). So, my advice is if you don't really know how to take care of a laptop and hope that your laptop is under good after sales service (particularly warranty claim), go for Dell. And my advice is don't push a Dell Inspiron laptop too far, don't expect it to be able to withstand high graphics settings as the GPU is only some low to midrange or midrange GPU. I believe most low to midrange or midrange GPU is actually sharing 1 fan with the GPU, at least I saw this in my own Dell Inspiron 1420. Of course now after 3 and a half year, my laptop is still working, but since my warranty already expired, I need to take good care of it on my own. Cleaning the air vent is easy because you can just take off one of the panel at the bottom to get access to the heatsink connecting to the CPU. But, if you wanna clean the fan in it, then you must really really know how to disassemble your Dell Inspiron laptop. There is no easy way to get access to your laptop's fan, you need to disassemble the whole thing like how I did. And there will be tons of screws to unscrew and you need to remember which screw is belonged to which part. And any cables inside the laptop that you had disconnected, you need to remember to connect them back before assembling them together again. Refer to the pictures below: Disassemble them into pieces just to access the fan in the motherboard lol  Before, dust stuck at the fan. More dust stuck on it means your fan is going to spin slowly, means your laptop will get hot easily  After cleaning it up, looks better  This post has been edited by jimmykvt: Apr 22 2011, 03:02 PM |

LOL..., Seriously, the air vent can be cleaned up easily, it is only the fan that troubles a lot. I definitely need to wait till the warranty is over to clean up my fan just to avoid the void of warranty. Even after the warranty is over, it is still a laptop, it can still be used to surf websites, watch movies etc. So, even though getting a new laptop, this laptop will still be well taken care for good :]
After for 3 and a half year, I tried to apply some thermal paste on it but it doesn't really make a great impact on lowering the temperature. Currently, I'm using Everest Ultimate Edition to monitor my laptop temperature closely as I don't wanna lose this laptop lol. For gaming, the GPU temperature did rise up to 98 degree celcius, it is only being lowered down once I use a table fan to blow directly onto my laptop and it falls back to 90 to 92 degree celcius. I consider to be safe, not to let it surpass 100 degree celcius. First of all, I'm not in an aircon room, so GPU shooting up above 90 degree celcius is not a surprise. Secondly, the fan is connected to 2 heatsinks, one to CPU and one to the GPU (on the motherboard), so the CPU and GPU are sharing the same fan, definitely it is hard to keep temperature low in that way. Unlike gaming laptop which worths RM 4000+, they come with 2 fans which GPU and CPU taking each, so it does bring down the temperature. Most obvious reason is that because the GPU in gaming laptop is much stronger and generates more heat, so the GPU cannot share the same fan with the CPU. But, I believe for most Dell inspiron laptop, the GPU and CPU are sharing one fan, so take my advice, don't push your GPU too hard by playing graphically intensive game. Even if you want to do it, make sure you monitor your GPU temperature closely. Consider gaming laptop like Dell Alienware is kinda expensive and if you have a tight budget of RM 4k to 4.5k and graphics card matters to you a lot, I suggest you to go for Sager NP8130 because I had seen the interior of the laptop, it is well design with 2 fans and having a Nvidia Geforce GTX 460m. Somemore, my new laptop is a Sager for one reason, it is easier to clean the fans in it, no need to disassemble the whole thing like what I did to my Dell Inspiron. Of course if you like Dell and really wanna take good care of your Dell laptop well by cleaning the air vent and fan once in a while, I suggest you take a look at some of the youtube videos on how to disassemble your inspiron laptop. The following video is not made by me but I do refer to it on how to disassemble my laptop. Furthermore, I had seen those technicians disassembling my laptop for me when they were replacing my defective motherboard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj27k2v6Bdw This post has been edited by jimmykvt: Apr 23 2011, 01:20 AM |

QUOTE(ngkhanmein @ Apr 23 2011, 08:26 AM) teach me how to "kiau" keyboard 1 by 1? i wanna clean my keyboard for my dell! thanks bro.. I don't recommend you to take out the keys of your laptop keyboard one by one as laptop keyboard's keys are very fragile.Instead, get a keyboard skin and place it on top of your keyboard, you can type on the keyboard skin as if you are typing on your keyboard. So, the keyboard skin is the one which will get dirty and you can just take it out when it is dirty and wash it and put them back after you have dried it. The keyboard skin comes with different colors and there is also transparent one. I'm not sure whether you can find it in Batu Pahat, but I'm sure you can find one in Sim Lim Square, Singapore and there are many keyboard skins for different model and brand of laptop. The price is around SGD 10 - 15.  This post has been edited by jimmykvt: Apr 23 2011, 09:01 AM |

I saw a lot of Dell's keyboard skin in Sim Lim Square (Singapore) that comes with different models lol, not that hard to look for Dell Inspiron 1420 for my keyboard
Oh, splashing coffee drops on your keyboard? lol If you have Dell Complete Cover warranty and if that warranty is still active, you can splash all lol, jk jk... XD I have never dealt with an Inspiron 15R, but the first 2 minutes of the video clearly shows you how to take off the keyboard :] |

Yea, I believe you can take out the keyboard without unscrewing anything from the bottom. The bottom part which he unscrewed was at the edge of the laptop while the keyboard is in the middle. You can try to take it out like what he did without unscrewing anything from the bottom and of course make sure you don't pull the whole keyboard too hard since there is still a thin ribbon connector connecting the keyboard and motherboard as shown in 1:57 of the video.

Not too sure what's the brand of HDD and RAM. Won't know until I receive it.
My laptop model will be the same as Keenxlimit's except mine comes with an ATI Radeon 6970m while his comes with a GTX 485m. Here is his review: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1827691 Anyway, this is a Dell Inspiron thread, I don't wanna flood here with Sager laptop. Should be discussing Inspiron earlier on lol. Any discussion on Sager, you can visit Sager thread, we got bunch of people there to answer your question :] This post has been edited by jimmykvt: Apr 23 2011, 11:04 AM |

uh, anyone planning to buy a laptop with a view to replace the hdd with ssd much later on should avoid the new inspiron. i just found out that the hard disk is not directly accessible like other laptops where we just take out two screws and then simply pull the hard disk out. for this laptop the hard disk reside within the laptop construction, meaning you have disassemble it to take out the hard disk.....

i'm a user of the new inspiron 15R N5110. so far ok la, but i found that it starts heating up on graphic intensive application like 3d games. other than that it is perfect for my needs (i need to buy the usb-to-rs232 converter though, for work purpose).
if you think 15.6" is too large, you can opt for the 14" line up, but they can only go as far as core i5 though. oh yes, ngkhanmein, i found this video that can be a reference on how to disassemble an inspiron laptop. the video shows different model but i think they have the same built.

Can any of you guys tell us if 15R have bad temperature design? Last thing i want is overheat. Also is 15R same as rest difficult to access HDD? I don't know if the HDD ventilation is good or not, normally what's the min/median/max temp you get on your HDD?

for hdd temp i get 28 the max i get 53 fluctual max but rarely.. mostly i get hdd temp won't exceed 50 while playing games. depend what hdd they offered. mine is seagate momentus.. some is western digital.. some is samsung.. (since seagate gonna buy samsung) actually 15R N5110 heat management is quite good.. so as N5010.. u not need worried.. i just wanna be perfect only.. cons is the built on down part is plastic + the fan noise very irritating
pros is price is reasonable with good spec + samsung led screen + warranty.. don't have major problem.. i not sure N5110 come with nvidia card.. my ati card currently no problem.. the design not that bad.. looks fine.. hdd ventilation is normal like other lappy.. seriously 2010-2011 laptop don't care what brand the heat issue problem is less.. i notice acer will slightly get higher temp due to the tuned the clock.. dell did the under clock like sony.. other brand too (i'm not pretty sure) so just grab which laptop u like + prefer with ur current budget.. good luck amigo~ |

Thanks for the input, 15R now comes with nvidia 525M 1GB, it's around same price as Asus A53SV & N53SV but they come with nvidia 540m & 500 & 640GB HDD instead.
The 15R 500GB ver comes with 7500rpm HDD. Was thinking about N53SV til i hear some hibernation & keyboard complains, but now i hear 15R fan is loud & some saying temp can be quite high. Why can't they make laptops perform like they were with focus on reliability & stability instead? Is the fan always on or depend on the temp? What kind of bearing does it use as fan replacement is really a big challenge & expensive. And usually it's the 1st few components to break down. |

annoying when u playing games.. the speed of fan works normal when u play texas poker.. if normal browsing the fan won't move.. back to basis.. when cpu usage above 10 then the fan will start working.. the higher the usage the higher the fan speed.. hdd only got 5400 & 7200 rpm.. u tweak to 7500 rpm?
Added on May 3, 2011, 3:08 pmbut i don't like the feel when playing poker the fan works.. if play games the sound can cover the fan noise but depend.. if the fan speed is around 5k++ rpm then is very noticeable & damn irritating.. if 3-4K still acceptable if playing games.. meaning running around 60-70%.. 5k++ rpm is like 100% fan speed...

Never heard of Dell Inspiron has MXM, not even Dell XPS has it. Normally only gaming laptops like Alienware, Asus G series and Sager have it.
If you want a gaming laptop with MXM, get at least RM 4k and go for Sager NP8130, that's the cheapest gaming laptop so far. |

Which XPS ? Most likely no, unless you mean XPS M1730, but using different connector..

Even if you can get a good graphics card, it will still be a great challenge to run 3D games with high graphics settings because Inspiron/XPS are running on a single fan and heat sink is shared between GPU and CPU. XPS has 2 fans but the other fan is so small that I doubt it does any significant help in reducing temp.
Surely when you want to upgrade your graphics card, mostly the reason would be for gaming purpose. However, you might wanna consider whether it is worth for the upgrade or not because heat might be a very critical issue. You won't want to be disappointed when your GPU temp is running high with the new GPU, right? This post has been edited by jimmykvt: May 25 2011, 09:18 PM |

dedicated GPU? Dedicated means 专用 in chinese.
When we say dedicated GPU fan, means that the fan is only for the GPU, not shared by the CPU because CPU has its own fan too :] |

Haha, sorry, bro..didn't know you don't know how to read. I misunderstood your previous post.
Buying the GPU alone is of course not worth it, it's too expensive and somemore we don't know whether the laptop is able to cater the heat generated by a more powerful GPU or not. This post has been edited by jimmykvt: May 26 2011, 09:55 AM |

FSB like 100MHz to 133MHz,
CPU speed is gained by multiplier times FSB.. |

dell inspiron n5010 user here. [i5, w7 home 64bit]
the dell webcam software is a MAJOR disappointment, after like 3 months of using it, it cant even detect movements! just keep freezing on its own. but luckily, can video call normally. i opted for the ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 - 1GB bcoz i plan to use adobe cs5 in the future. and it has given me blue screen once, display driver malfunction 3 times.. does anyone have the same problem? also, i notice sometimes the display will goes grainy (flickering grain) too. is this normal? plan to send back to them soon!  |

Hi guys, I was wondering whether there are any new Inspiron 14R users here? The one with Sandy Bridge?
I'm curious whether the laptop itself comes with 1 or 2 RAM slots? Usually there should be 2, but the RAMs given by Dell Malaysia suggested that there's only one Can anyone clarify this? Thanks thanks! Also, which Dell's warranty is international? As in can be transferred to the US? |

So if you opt for the RM2,399 Inspiron 14R rather than the RM2249 one (with 2 years warranty); then extend the warranty to 3 years; you'd be paying RM310 more for 2GB more RAM and an extra 140GB.... What a way to eat our money Potential buyers beware!*The better solution would be to get the RM2249 one, then upgrade the RAM yourself since it has 2 RAM slots lol, that way you save a lot more Just asked Dell agent, it seems that only 3 years Next Business Day warranty is international; also, whether the warranty is valid in a certain country or not depends on whether the particular laptop is sold in that country or not Added on June 16, 2011, 9:44 am QUOTE(ykmy @ Jun 16 2011, 08:16 AM) Need advise, does N5110 i7 GT525M can handle game like SC2, NFS? running smooth? low resolution?
