SPuNx,

Do you mind unscrewing the bottom and take a big/high res. pic. of the innards (under the cover), I'll like to know the slots available/components arrangement/access. Thanks

Hey
Just stopping by, only Forum I found discussing the Vostro 3700 - hope you don´t mind.

I´m quite happy with mine, but do have the impression that the display is very very contrast sensitive in vertical direction .... viewing only slightly from above kills contrast totally, everything washes out.
Since this is my first big notebook (only had a Samsung NC10 Netbook with great screen so far), I don´t know if I´m too picky here and this is quite normal in this price range.

I would be very glad if you could give me your impressions on this. Greetings

Typical TN panels' very narrow angle for viewing.... though there are some with with wider range

We want PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES ...  biggrin.gif
PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES...... of the internals PLEASE, thank you. Dell's slow in putting the service manual online for 3700 (too new).

just a (small) philips head screw-driver on two screws holding the cover close... it'll not void your warranty....

One thing to note, when looking of back-pack.. diagonal it's 17.6 inch (18+), but with 16:9 ratio, the width (back-pack) is similar to older 16:10 or 5:4 notebooks at 15 inch. It's the height (of the back-pack) that must fit some 41cm for this notebook.
