now i regret for not opting the red color. it does look really cool :0

i guess by default stock it should be silver....



astria:

i cannot afford to wait longer,they might delay it as stated in the website, any changes to the order will cause delay up to 48 hours




spunx:

by the way, how is the anti glare screen performance? is it good? never tried one before...found something on youtube... hopefully it is not the same as the v3700

how does it go with gaming? i mean the gaming experience itself and does it effect much on screen viewing?

i ordered mine on 23 march, and i checked the order status on dell website , it says mine is in stage 4. shipped from factory


what does your order status indicates?

mine since saturday showed ship from factory status, estimated delivery is on 7 april.....yours?

update: just receive sms from dell , mine will be delivered tomorrow

not really,it depend on the person and the type of bagpack that you use, i bought a everki beacon too...it feels okay, not that difficult to move around. it does make you like ninja turtle(carring a shell on the back) kinda cool


by the way
my vostro 3700 kinda have this high pitch hissing sound.not really obvious but its there...does anyone share the same thing?

ya...thanks to your review , i got that cool bagpack. im not sure where the sound comes from but its from the right side of the lappy...

pretty satisfied with the gaming graphics( for me) run modern warfare2 at 60 fps with 2x anti aliasing.



reading documents are very pleasing....

fingerprint sensor works great...easy to detect without hassle

one thing im not sure is configuring the shock resistance hdisk....when checked at device manager, it doesnt mention anti-shock or something...go to control panel, check on sensors also says no sensor detected on system...

ya...its there...somehow i missed it before...thanks.... by the way, do you experience the hissing sound?

hi guys,


in power option , the is this thing called dell battery meter where you can disable battery charging...kinda cool

but it would be better if we can automate this,create a start uo script or somethin/ shortcut to launch...

anybody know how?

you r welcomed



yeah, i manage to create a start-up script, but after think back, i thought that a shortcut to that application will be more appropriate......since sometimes you will require the lappy to charge battery (so automating process all the time to disable charging will cause another hassle when you want to charge)....the shortcut to the application should be somewhere around

C:\Program Files\Dell\QuickSet\battery.exe

the screen is not that bad, i would say good enough and comfy. viewing angle a bit weak. screen size 1600x900.....temperature wise normally i got between 45-48 degrees...gpu at 50 celcious.playing games can go up till 68

ive been playing modern warfare 2, resident evil 5 and using pscx2 as ps2 emulator to run final fantasy ...yup, mine i5 proc

most of the game i use auto setting... so all games run mostly at high quality, one thing that been lower down is resolution, you cant have 1600x900 resolution at high quality/med...



of course the windows 7 is original (home basic 32 bit) check under your battery slot and you will see the sticker with serial there... a good practice is if you going to do some major changers/ in this case change windows, its better if you "clone" your system first.... if somethin goes wrong you can always revert to original state

mine seems to be fine too..except for the high pitch sound that comes once in awhile, complain it to dell online chat, attended by international support, want to change mine to a new one, i say wait first, because ,its not that obvious,follow -up with me 3 days consistently by phone call...good support...

kucing fight
what is the maximum temperature that you get after stressing the system?

Zaita,
i did update the nvidia driver too last week, and my system is fine. try to connect to external monitor and see whether its the driver fault , or the screen itself. have you contacted dell?

try running the hardware test from the diagnostic disk....or you can do it by pressing fn +esc right after reboot

you can use this

i wonder what would be the appropriate price to let my vostro 3700 go....planning to get the new xps
