QUOTE(a_yu_volution @ Jul 10 2010, 04:18 AM) Not sure what are you looking for but it says in there "There is typically nothing not to like about aluminum lids. Lifting the corner with one hand causes only minimal buckling and it withstood our press test fine." IMHO, I must say it feels abit fragile with the lid, like its going to bend, really feels different from the Latitude 6500 which is really sturdy. This is maybe due to the mix of material they use on the Vostro series. Seriously I don't think our Vostro will withstand a fall from lets say office table height. If it fell down with its lid open, the hinge will probably kaput too. Anyone had experience this one before? Sorry edited. I mean the thin plastic that is not fully cover by alluminnium can be bend easily like vostro 3400? This post has been edited by phua1985: Jul 10 2010, 03:04 PM |

Can someone advice what kind of bags can fit the Dell Vostro 3700? Most bags i see online (SwissGear, Targus, etc) have bags for 17". Is there a standard way of determining 17 inch? I'm wondering if those can fit the Vostro's 17.3". Notable SwissGear that supports 17" http://www.swissgear.eu/ecproduct_detail.a...ssCatID=1147002http://www.swissgear.eu/ecproduct_detail.a...ssCatID=1146818Notable Targus that supports 17" http://www.targus.com/uk/product_details.asp?sku=TCB001EU For instance, can the Everki Swift Light Laptop Backpack (17") fits the Vostro 3700? http://www.everki.com/index.php?/Backpacks...s-up-to-17.htmlDo share if you guys are aware of other reasonably recommended bags yah! I've ordered my Vostro 3700 too! |

Im using Targus soft hug designed by dell that comes free with it. Pretty okay for me if you are packing for work related, however if you are planning to bring along headphones, it's not advisable. http://accessories.ap.dell.com/sna/product...1&sku=460-11171Also maybe you can check those backpack offered by Deuter, a friend of mine got the one for RM 300 ++, you can fit up to 18"lappy, and its quite spacey. |

I see. According to the product description, the Targus softhug supports 17" but seems to have no problem with the Vostro 3700. That's good coz i previously purchased the HP Sport Backpack (support up to 17") which i think was going for a steal in Harvey Norman http://www.targus.com/us/product_details.aspx?sku=GN072AARM95... ok la.... |;o) This post has been edited by cala: Jul 11 2010, 05:38 PM |

Basically not much bags can fit in a 17.3 inch laptop now is it? the soft hug offer by dell can fit the 17.3inch laptop just nice? |

@rkgfantasy:
what is the thing you put besides the power plug on the left?
by the way, I've tested this lappy with L4D with all medium setting in a room with room temperature of around 25C and the heat for graphics card GPU was around 67C.
