Wise choice
RM800 rebate

why u cancel...good things always need to wait...

After been using it for 6 days, i noticed that the quality of material built is quite bad. You need a lot of caring to keep this laptop quality.
Just now i went to pc shop again to buy 2 x universal keypad protector + 2 pieces of transparent laptop skin just to cover almost whole laptop lolx....

But im still love this laptop as its the cheapest 17.3 inch laptop i ever found so far for this few years (first hand one...)

brb soon

agreed..

I spent total of 1 hours plus just to cover 65% of laptop with the goods i bought just now.

the transparent looks almost similar like this


and this the universal keypad protector

The built quality is bad? In what sense?
Do they bend easily under pressure?

Wah, 2x keyboard protector ar? How much did you get for 1? They are usually quite expensive

True... But some people do have their choice to stop and get another option/opinion. I'll be getting Lenovo Y460 by next week, with i5 540M, 4GB D3, 500GB HDD, Win 7 HP 64bit and 1GB HD5650. Really looking forward to see the benchmark if I tune the profile to performance and with some tweak to change GC to a HD5730...

not very expensive la, some more its for long term one + protect ur laptop quality

the built quality is good, material is 50% good in terms of handling pressure + feel cold if got air con coz its silver one.

But it cant tahan our finger/ hand sweat lol

Yaya 1 month is actually a bit too long to wait.... And why not get something which is on par or even better? hehe! Well in the end the choice is in your hands
Grats 1st on your new lappy, do let us know how it performs~ I'm quite interested in the Y460 too

Did you buy any backpack or sleeve bag for it...
where you buy and how much for it

Yaya, agreed, its for long term~ How much was it?
Will the skin prevent heat from being dissipated?
Vostro shouldn't be too bad in built quality~

"cant tahan our finter/ hand sweat" meaning the material will corrode? OMG.... my old M100 was like that, the whole skin got corroded and became very very ugly
Which is why matte and glossy surface are a little bit better even though the matte doesn't look nice whereas the glossy collects fingerprints eagerly T____T

How much is the keypad protector? Universal mean do not suit to the chicklet design one right? Does 17.3" screen protector existing?

That is why i bought 2 universal keypad protector just for redesiging and cut the shape according to the size of keypad.

Not very expensvie, RM100 enough to cover it already. The beg pack was Rm180 brand High Sierra one.

The 17.3 laptop skin does not exist in my area at least...but 2 pieces of laptop skins plus some hard work should be fine one. Hmm...my arts isnt good so lol

I wont take my own one picture as it was too ugly to show it in the public. may be some laugh from friends is fine for me lol.

to [PF] T.J. : Its true, thats the reason i went straigth to the pc shop just to look for the protectors.

oO, nice DIY by your own, I dun think ppl will laugh at you, so post some pictures to show us and at least let us DIY ourself instead. XD.. BTW, is PC Fair for dell booth selling the Vostro 3700? Planning to get 1 too but seem like alot members complained that have to wait for a month at least.. >.<

From what I've known some retailers don't take Dell business class laptops like Vostro or Latitude series(not sure it's policy or no buyers...) They only have home series laptops like inspiron, mini, studio, SXPS and alienware bcoz of their relatively attractive designs.

WOW, you really put in a lot of effort to take care of your lappy, U deserved my respect
Let them laugh, you will be the one with the last laugh since your lappy would most probably last the longest hehe

Added on April 1, 2010, 11:00 pmI wonder why they don't take Vostro.... they are quite nice in their own way
But wouldn't it be best to buy online so can also have warranty O___O

I only know their design become very sleek when vostro v13 came out, then others follow the design pattern . Do agree with the warranty part and configuration part too, but some potential buyers do really want to feel and touch it rather than looking at pics hehe.

wow... how to tweak? can teach? search google... but found nothing.... HD5650 to HD5730??? OC?

the 17" lappy need abit extra care on it.. like even u have backpack u prolly need another sleeve for extra protection.. benq has a sleeve could fit this.. u guys can check it out.. i was thinking to get transparent skin on the lappy.. but i just like the feel on it now was worried i'd miss the feel ><..

this weekend gonna go get Zalman nc2000 cooler heuheue
