thinking of getting the 11z since it is not much bigger than dell mini10  drool.gif

my concern is the SU1400 processor..can it even run stuff like photoshop cs4 smoothly? im not using it for doing any work..just wondering  icon_question.gif

anyone who got it pls give review
*
I don't have the model in question, but I've seen Photoshop being run on a CULV processor before. Describing it as smooth would be somewhat of a stretch.

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.

Because it is weak when compared to plenty of other processors out there. Discounting stuff that are already outdated, or three thirds of the way there.

But what are you comparing it with. You have to see the whole product packaging. Sure you can buy the alienware laptop that will blow most desktop, but what is the point of lugging around something so rediculously big? Even the 14" laptops are being pushed to its limits currently, and CULV have really came and change the packaging of laptops, for example as seen on the acer timeline series.

How can you say discounting outdated stuff or three third (??? 2/3 or 3/4) of the way there. Just a year and half, you need to pay six grand to get a ULV based laptop. Todays, its half that price. 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By discounting outdated stuff I was referring to much older processors such as the legacy Celeron line-up.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.

How do you get this Dell Discount Code? Do you have anymore?
*
Usually you can find out about Dell promotions on their site. Methinks the code you quoted has expired.

is it possible to upgrade to 4gb RAM from 2gb RAM ?
*
I think the 11z only has one DIMM slot, hence upgrading will require you to buy procure a 4GB module that is both expensive and non-existent in Malaysia.

This is a better FAQ to compare Windows 7 versions.

"Maximum physical CPUs supported"

What does this mean? The Starter and Premium can support only 1 whereas the Prof and Ult can support 2
*
Physical means the actual processor, not on die cores. Server boards tend to run multiple CPUs and thus need the Professional or Ultimate/Enterprise versions. Rest assured all consumer grade systems only utilize a single, physical processor.

can someone explain if windows 7 home premium comes only in 64 bit? Cause dell is giving home premium 64 bit???
*
There is a 32 bit version. If you want that, then try calling Dell to customize your model before purchasing.

Anybody got discount code for 11z? Want to buy it

If Dell is having a promotion for the 11z, you are likely to find any such coupon codes on their website.

open to check dead pix only.

reason to sell: i am using m4400 highest spec, this kiddo too slow for me.

pm me.

You shouldn't be posting the bolded part here.

In response to your first part, I find that protruding batteries are oddly convenient. What with it propping up the notebook at a favorable angle and all that. Kinda like keyboard feet.

oh no...you got the celery one?. should have gone for the SU4100. big performance difference tho. however both your configuration and the SU4100 is not suitable for virtualisation.

Sorry I know this is off topic, but you do know what celery is right?

just call them

they said there are no such exchange policy and they said they cant do anything to exchange the battery for me because my purchase i more than 1 week.

they even ask me to buy an extra 3 cells

what next?
*
Within the first two weeks of your purchase, you can return your Dell product for a full refund as stated here. I would call them back and ask about that if I were you.
