Hi,

I'm about to get a unit for Vostro 3700 laptop, but I have some question about it...

When ordering, was it better to call the sale agent, so that maybe you'll get to 'bargain'? well... i just want to have that back-lit keyboard without i7... which i don't think it'll be possible...

I'm getting this laptop with 4GB of RAM, but I've done a little search online and it seems that even Win 7 Pro only support up to 3GB of RAM...

My question is, was it worth to get a 64-bit Win 7 Pro instead of 32-bit? If i were to get it in 32-bit Win 7 Pro with (2x2GB RAM), will the system actually still run in dual channel mode?

[Edited]
- If I were to call the sales agent for purchase, which contact number should I use? was it: 1800-88-8202
- If I were to made my purchase through sales agent by phone, do they have service even during at night? Since I'll be working during the day... (sorry, i know this sounds stupid... please don't kill me for this...)
- What's the difference of complete cover and 3 Yr Next Business Day On-site Service?


Thank You

I would suggest you call to order. You may opt for 3 years complete cover warranty for just RM119 (or RM116, can't remember the exact figure). That is provided you get the 3 years on-site warranty, if not you can't get the complete cover thingy.

any owner of vostro 3700 facing problem like "crash" caused by a file or whatever is it, the name is called "minidump". already happen to me twice...

Quite worrying....

mine so far no problem

btw guys, what cooler should i buy for this lappy? cooler master, zalman or silverstone?

these guys are getting me frustrated. i paid on thursday and the most ive gotten so far is an arrow pointing on the first box saying "order received".

i requested for call back which they did and bla bla said they will call again from sales team...noone called.

those who ordered online. what exactly are the procedures that you've gone through until it arrived at your doorstep?

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.

dude, have some patience, i waited for 2 weeks

the day before i received my lappie, i checked my order it say shipping from factory, i was quite angry....i mean 2 weeks still in factory, next day gdex truck outside my house then happy
check my status still say shipping from factory, which made me though i ordered 2, double check next day status is delivered

just be patience

Is that Vostro 3700 automaticly down clock the CPU, and RAM when normal use ?

i sorry if i am lazy to go through the 23 pages, but does the this laptop come with an optional 1920x1080 resolution LCD?

nothing to be angry la..u already know most of us here needed at least 1week to get it.. so u buy knowing it needed THAT long.

i myself waited for 3weeks . what say u?

yes, and also the vga. powermizer

perhaps u should take some effort to read tru. NO doesnt come with higher reso

i been waiting 1 week = =
but still in Order Status...
i stay in KL
i think i have to wait more than a month...

might not be fastest but look at the price and size !! it's definately best bargain around...nice laptop...

u pay via wat payment? credit card? i think u call to Dell Customer Service Centre and ask better. 1 week already and still in Order Status, kinda weird. i also stay at KL but i get my notebook within 1 week.

good bargain, so i presume a lot of order. Maybe they out of stock or something. Call DELL to see what happen. last time my friend waited 1 month and get free mouse + 9 cell batt

ok well its better to order through a dell customer sales rep. at least you have direct contact and can bug them in real time.

update: they called me today and said that the v3700 series has to be imported from the U.S. and has to clear customs etc so thats why need to take so long O.O

Dear all sifus,

Some question from newbie

I'm just figuring out the customization for Vostro 3700 with the following specs:

Operating System: Genuine Windows® 7 Professional 64bit (English)
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-720QM (1.6GHz base, up to 2.8GHz, 4C/8T, 6MB/L3)
Memory: 4GB (2X2G) DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM, 2 DIMM
Video Card: Vostro 3700 Nvidia® Geforce™ GT 330M, 1GB Graphics for Quad Core Processor
Hard Drive: 500GB Hard Drive, 7200 RPM

I'm planning to use it for Graphics Design (Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator), Video Editing (Adobe Premiere & After Effects), and Flash/Web Design, is it ok? Or i need to change (upgrade/downgrade) any specs above?

looks good for Graphics/Web Design + VEditing. high ram and an i7. +1 from me.

i hv my vostro 3700 status in shipping out from factory since saturday night....already 3 day but still same status....haiz

Patience my friend, well the status sometime are not accurate, got some cases where on shipping in status but the next day it arrived

mine at Order Received since 20th May and today check it change to 25th May and still Order Received
