It might be the edges of the laptop screen+air bubbles.
+1 for the initiative!

Its not possible, which is why I got myself the fine Beacon which is for 18". Can fit everything I need. But its damn heavy. haha. Feels like going camping whenever I bring it out.

Alright guys, I just requested for a move for this thread at the help desk!

W00t! Yeah, finally moved the thread. Thanks a bunch to the mod involved!

2-3 years of laptop life span is alright I guess. Within that span of time you'd have enough for a new one. Its always good to take good care of your things to appreciate its value.
All the more reason if you have intentions of selling it off, let it be in good condition!

High pitch hissing sound? Do you have any idea what part of the lappy might cause that sound? Is it your CD drive?

Yeah! Congrats to those how've just gotten their Vostro 3700! I can't seem to upload any thumbnail pictures for the thread at the moment due to the upload issue in LYN. As for the FreeFall Data Protection, you can locate it under your 'All Control Panel Items' But it only allows you to either enable or disable it.

Well nope, unless I stick in a CD in the DVD Drive. You say the source comes from the right part of your laptop right?

Yup! Definitely get headphones/external speaker for your laptop for better sound experience. The Vostro 3700 speaker isn't really that good for me. Planning to get one of those external sound cards for a better sound source! For now just using my comfy headphones, the bass setting is kinda funny for Vostro too.

Wow! Great tip to extend battery usage, especially when you plug it in a lot, so you wouldn't have to take it off each time you're plugging it.
Thanks a lot for the info man!
I too dunno simple scripting. *tehee* it would be really great though.

Yup, the method given is the proper way to do it.
Partitioning isn't so hard, just google for a guide and follow the steps thoroughly and you'll do fine.
Which is how I found out how to partition/combine a hard drive.

*WOW!* Awesome results! Wish I knew how to do that. haha.
Don't have the time to sneak over the over clocking section and infiltrate. *pfft*

Woah, thats quite bad. Since you've reformatted/reinstalled the concerning drivers I suggest you contact the Dell Customer support. I updated my Video card a few weeks back and thankfully it didn't end up like this. :|

Argh, and only NOW they make the backlit keyboard option available! :'(

For those who worry about the screen resolution: I think it exceeds my expectations, watching movies is great with it, especially in HD quality.

Gaming wise its sufficient for its price. Want better, cough up cash for something suited for gaming. I've gamed for about two hours or so at max and the heat was bearable. Past experiences I've had cases where overheating would reboot the laptop. So far I've faced none. ^^

I've come to accept the speakers as well because I tweaked the bass where the default was set on no bass. I haven't been using a laptop for awhile so I was always used to desktop speakers with sub-woofers, but compared to other laptops with high volume its quite outstanding.

Its been about a month or so and I'm still hyped about my laptop.

About mobility, I don't mind its size because with the performance its packed with is worth bringing around when needed.

Color wise, from what I saw in earlier videos of Dell Vostro 3700, bronze is quite sleek. It looks simple, professional yet stylish, but I'm loving my red Dell Vostro 3700.

Really glad to see a number of satisfied Vostro 3700 users! Welcome to the club!

Have you guys tried out the voice command option? I think its really cool. I recommend trying it out if you've got extra time! Boss your computer around by talking to it. Hehehe.

The bluetooth issue was a bit tricky for me too. Well, you have to be really patient and persistent with identifying your bluetooth with the device you intend on pairing with. Turn on the bluetooth for your Vostro first then search for available bluetooth devices and activate the intended bluetooth device. Its quite tricky because sometimes it doesn't detect smoothly, you'll have to make sure the settings of your bluetooth for the Vostro is accessible, retry till you get.

So here's the steps I did:

1.Went to control panel (made the list into detailed list instead of the simple and general version so I could pick it out)

2.I made sure the setting for my Vostro bluetooth was visible and pairable.

3.Activated the Vostro bluetooth.

4.Search for active bluetooth devices.

5.Turn on the intended bluetooth device.

6.Select the device when detected in your Vostro system.

7.Save it.

Hope this helps.

Heads up, for those who wanna use wireless gaming bluetooth mice, you'll most probably will have to buy a seperate bluetooth dongle. Which is what I had to do for my Orochi, thankfully I got it for ten bucks.

Might be a driver issue, have you tried reloading the graphic card driver? How'd it happen anyways?

Patience and persistence. I just patiently waited while bugging them with e-mails/phone calls and silly questions. As customers we have the right to be subtle in pestering them about our order process . Took them about ten to 14 days to arrive at my door steps, where I was expecting around 20-30 days delivery time.

I noticed that the product process tracking thingy isn't really efficient. Mines was still on second/third phase when I received my laptop. And I doubt changing the color to red would affect your order process. Mine is red too, yet I received it within two weeks after ordering.

Hope this'll clear some of your anxiousness.

Have you tried adjusting the bass function boost? I first found it soft until I adjusted that and now the volume is quite acceptable now.

Wow, a cooler fan thats affordable and matches the sizing! Awesome, gotta look for one soon.

Gonna start gaming SC2 with it since I barely game with my lovely Vostro.

@cckthechun

A dead pixel huh? Damn, you should try consulting Dell customer service. Again, how do you check for it?

How can a screen get a dead pixel? Well I hope yours isn't that horrible..

Has anyone in this thread gotten their Vostro 3700 with back lit keyboards yet? I couldn't find the options on the dell website, even with the i7 customizing.
