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.

that 1.3ghz look like kinda weak..or is it just me laugh.gif

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 had the miss opportunity of buying it too soon & then they offer the RM100/- discount the next day.  I asked them if I could add the coupon but they said cannot as already ordered. vmad.gif

Also still waiting for it to arrive next week. Will post some review once I get it.  smile.gif

u order it already? how much u got it for? i still waiting for any special offers biggrin.gif

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.
*
how about home basic vs home premium? is it worth the RM99 diffrent?

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.

core2duo for rm2.2k? those are 14" or 15" heavy weight with low spec doh.gif

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.
*
yup. the image gallery on dell website is showing it flat fitted with 3cells.

any idea how do i return it any any action i can take? i will do it if someone give me an idea..since im on holiday and too free laugh.gif



QUOTE(Borsch Soup @ Dec 8 2009, 05:45 PM)
Dell has return policy, can always return if not happy.
*
how to do it?


EDIT: i've email their cust service and see what they said. will also give them a call tmr morning laugh.gif
