Hi, Any Dell 630m user here ??

I just help my brother to order Dell 630m during new year offer, the notebook will send to my house somewhere around next week, is there any special thing I have to check before I actually aknowledge receipt ??

btw, below is the spec

Pentium 1.73 ghz
1gb ram (512mb x2)
wifi a/b/g
DVD Burner 8x
80g hard disk( I think is just the normal one)
Display with true life
1 year warranty
with bluetooth module
9 cell battery

RM4,090.00

me i630 user, get my unit at last year Mid nov. Price RM3930.. spec mostly like u, except the RAM ( 768mb) , with 3 years complete cover warranty...

have u add in the TV out cable? is FOC item.. u should add it..

3 year warranty is VERY important!!! Good thing you had it....

wow, similar to my spec some more only RM3930.. very worth it ..

btw, what u check the notebook when they deliver to you ?

I agree with you but my brother insist for better spec instead of 3 years warranty, so finally go for the better spec lor

just chk... the invoice... u received..compare the content..inside the box...

Remember to check that the specs in the Lappie is the same as you ordered processor,dvd-rw,batt-Cell,ram....etc....oh ya and don't forget to check for DEAD PIXELS....

got the notebook just now .. even the screen is with true life option but the color is even worst than the iBook I am using... and it is bigger than what I expect ..

but while playing DVD, it seem abit slow .. and the screen really not good .. maybe because of lack of external display card ..

I just bought it, add 1GB Ram, take the 3years warranty and also 3 years complete cover (better pay extra now than regret later), trulife screen. other spec is standard.

seems working fine and fast compare it with my friend notebook , i do a lot simulation testing for trajectory and projectile. it does the process more faster with it 533mhz.

According to the DELL engineers approximatly 10% of their assembly line notebooks will contain a few defects...Just be prepared for it....Some might work fine while others like mine came with defects right out of the factory. This is where the warranty comes in handy....

i'm thinking of buying the 630m with these specs:

Intel Pentium processor at 740, 1.73 GHz processor
Win XP
14.1 wide screen CGA TFT display
3 YEARS complete cover
80 GB hard drive
512 MB ddram
internal 8x dvd + / - RW Combination Drive with dual layer write
512 MB memory key
deluxe nylon carry case
6 cell lithium ion batt
optical mouse

dell quotes $4286.

can i have ur feedback whether this is a good price for what i'm getting?

thanks.

i think it's ok, you know Dell one week this price the next week different price, but it's hovers in the same price range,

I, bought mine RM 4420.00 (include transportation fees) bought it using telephone, i don't get cash rebate( lowsy direct access credit card cant used online purchased), Mine 1GB Ram, and truelife screen. no mouse. the rest is the same with yours.

in my imho don't compare the price promotion, best you can do is compare the current price that dell offer with other notebooks from other company like acer, ibm etc.

see which one is cheaper, Unless your a die hard dell user (which i dont think they are any).

lamir_loco,

sounds like u got a good deal on your comp. i have also opted for true life screen. might as well since it's only an additional rm50.

anyone, i have customised my dell order fully. here are the full specs. but i haven't pressed the confirm order button yet. what do u think of these specs for $4365?

if u decided to buy, i think you should add 1gb RAM (2x 512), since no graphic card can be added.

ermmm will the bluetooth module shut down by itself? MY friend's case was that when she formatted the lappy....no bluetooth device can be detected ...how to reactive it ...anyone?

she is using dell 630m

i'm not sure about bluetooth that provided by Dell, if i'm not mistaken press FN F2, same with the WIFI, again i'm not to sure since i use usb bluetooth dongle.

Do correct me if i'm wrong.

go DELL website... download the latest Driver.. reinstall 630m.. u will get back the bluetooth..

activate it in the bios. hit F2?(i think) at setup and browse through the screens and activate the module

hi... am a dell 630m user here myself. Has anyone encounter "no video/lcd" problem before? i mean, nothing shows up on lcd (black screen) but when plugin external monitor, it's showing fine on the ext. monitor....then after awhile, the lcd shows by itself again. And also, the Fn F8 (CRT/LCD), how come when i press it while ext. monitor not connected, my LCD turned black? and press it again won't get my LCD showing unless i reboot? thanks for feedbacks/infos!

my friend got problem with lcd backlight, the screen becomes dark, he called tech support. they change the screen. now ok. better that you do the same
