I'm using 6-Cell battery. During the time I made the order, 9-cell battery isn't there yet

Currently entering 4 hours mark on surfing net using wifi


p/s: how to put thumbnail for this thread?

Here's my result regarding 6-Cell Battery Life

Watch anime (hellsing 480p mkv file) : 22 Minutes

Surfing internet (Chrome with 4 tab+) using wifi : 3 Hours 31 Minutes


So total up around 3 hours and 51 minutes using battery


What housekeeping ive did:

- Startup program only load anti virus (nod 32), orbit downloader, dell dock, and Ati catalyst
- Uninstalled McAfee and Face Recognition software
- Use Power Saver mode

So that's my experience on the battery life. I'm impressed

Ah, I forgot to add I use Power Saver mode during battery mode

Im using power saver mode during the test, so im not sure what's the brightness level, I just use it without customization

Hehe, im not sure wanna do benchmark or not. My M101z is too cute to be tortured

For mobility, yeah! If i have d budget I'll buy the 9 cell battery as backup battery

Too bad M101z 9 cell battery isn't available to be bought separately

temp at room temperature :


omg, i love M101z lcd

keyboard : daaaaammmmnn nice, 100% comfortable to press and well spaced key. the keyboard click sound is sooooo softtttt!!

Touchpad : well positioned , I can use the touchpad without even need to re-adjust my other hand position on the lappy (I got pretty big hands). the button click is soft and make a soft click sound, i love it. the touchpad surface..im not sure how to comments on it, ideas?

U didn;t see my signature?

I'll try on games during my free time

Don't have really much time to test everything but...

Sadly but yeap...the plam rest and lid are made of glossy material...and they are susceptible to smudge and fingerprints...

I am really considering buying transparent skin for my lid but since its small...hopefully won't be that pricey (no idea where to buy it yet)

other than that, everything about M101z...i love it...kyaaaaaaa (gayish sound) ~

the best part is...plug in the hdmi port from LCD/LED TV and walah, u have ur own everything-player

with -0.05 undervolt, my M101z can last for ~95 minutes of 480p mkv anime, after that still got like ~20% battery life

p/s: I made it by undervolting my M101z by -0.1v, but yet to test it throughfully. According to W7 battery meter, maybe I can reach up to 4 hours ~ 4 hours 48 minutes on idle + light internet surfing

p/s 2: i'm eco-frenly aka green freak

Not sure...but it think so

here's a pic of my m101z

sorry for crappy camera !

through internet at home...buy at dell authorised dealer got discount huh?

For my case, booting from bios -> windows..damn fast. even faster than my Phenom II X4 desktop
game performance, i didnt test it out yet.

lagging? nope...iv yet to feel the lagging ..i mainly use my m101z for surfing, youtube videos (usually 360p/480p due to speedish-tmnut) and typing documents.

I have no problem watching 480p vid anyway

For HD vid (720p/1080p), I didn't try it out yet.

as for virus scan, I've uninstall d LagAfee and installed NOD32, i didn't feel any stutter-ish from that.

and for everyday task for me... (surfing, watch movies and watch movies via LCD TV HDMI, writing documents)...i feel that M101z is d one im looking for all this while

(before Fusion comes lol)

Yeap, I love my M101z.

I think I found the reason why it is kinda heavier than I thought; the build quality is superb I must say. I lift my M101z alot using only at its tip...and no sign of any bending from what I observe

im knew this will come

that's y i decide to take ~RM1.5k netnotebook

Humm nope, don't have any copy of SC2

Hi there,

this is the result after -0.1v undervolt..

The heat ..
- from temperature monitoring software; quite reasonable, my processor temp was around 47~55 depends on process currently it handles. temperature from IBT doesn't count.. (was like 59~61 wit -0.1v). On my lap, a little warm, and pretty comfortable on my laps
- from the exhaust hole; i can't really tell if it have any effect or not

on idle, the fan really really quite. but when some process kicks, the fan sound went up a little, and the harddisk spinning is..noticeable.

hope this help...i try my best to give the unbiased feedback

from ~4hours of light surfing to ~5hours on light surfing

any link for that model?

i'm really enjoying my undervolt

might wanna go lower, battery life ftw
