about true life...erm..i think better dont buy it..
coz it is very glare ler..u actually can make it a mirror..swt.
all i can say rm3555 is a good price..

forget to add i also get myself the carbon fiber kits too...lol damn...rm3555 kinda good~!

by the way i think today wanna install xp ady....i dont see aero better...

solve your bluetooth ady?

just incase u didnt notice..
when you go to your bluetooth device prop
you shud be able to see the driver.
if u unable to see the driver it mean u havent install it.

u can find the driver in your dell cd...try to look at all version.
by default when you boot the cd it wont show the blue tooth driver.
or, u can dl from the 1st page

http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R127314.EXE (xp)


Added on April 25, 2007, 11:30 amwhen using winxp on 6400 issit faster n better compare to vista?
i havent got the time to install my winxp to it.

anyone care to give review?

Added on April 27, 2007, 9:19 amjust found this solution:
http://support.us.dell.com/support/topics/...11DF&l=en&s=dhs

The Dell(tm) Wireless 355 Bluetooth(R) drivers may not load when re-installing Microsoft(R) Windows Vista(tm) or downgrading to Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP.


Table of Contents:
1. The Dell(tm) Wireless 355 Bluetooth(R) drivers may stop installation when re-installing Microsoft(R) Windows Vista(tm) or downgrading to Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP.
2. Turn on the Dell(tm) 355 Wireless Bluetooth(R) module in Microsoft(R) Windows Vista(tm).
3. Additional Information about Wireless Networking

1. The Dell(tm) Wireless 355 Bluetooth(R) drivers may stop installation when re-installing Microsoft(R) Windows Vista(tm) or downgrading to Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP.

The Dell(tm) Wireless 355 Bluetooth(R) drivers may stop installation when re-installing Microsoft(R) Windows Vista(tm) or downgrading to Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP.



This is due to the Dell Wireless Bluetooth adapter being turned off before the re-installation of the Bluetooth software or operating system.



When downgrading to Microsoft Windows XP, it will be necessary to either re-install Microsoft Windows Vista back on the system or transfer the Bluetooth module to another system running Microsoft Windows Vista.



This will allow the Bluetooth adapter to be turned back on using the Bluetooth configuration utility.


vista is so damn stupid os!

1st u customize your setting on the dell website...
then u click next..to send a copy to your self...
once the email arrive u call SA...
u email then the spec...
see how much they can offer u ...
if possible ask for more thing/discount...be greedy!

keep in mind tht sometime they cant offer much lower bcoz the laptop price is ady under the cost price(esp during pc fair/the xmas season/ etc etc).

where u buy your cm notepal? how much?

QUOTE(teikwing @ May 2 2007, 02:49 PM)
yup. agree with u. other brands seems to have better built quality. especially HP. Dell one seems plasticky. but still a quality notebook + great warranty service.  rclxms.gif  thumbup.gif

FYI, 6400 is the cheapest performance notebook u can get it the market for now. with RM3K+ can get C2D, X1400 & 120GB HDD. don't think other brands offer this kinda specs for that price. for that kinda specs, 6400 cost more than RM4K-5K last year, when i bought mine.  cry.gif

used XPS for few days before. the LCD cover just seems more nicer with the black & silver accent. inside (keyboard & palm area) is just like 6400. plasticky too just that the keyboard keys is in silver, not in black like 6400. besides that, it's LCD cover has a nice locking mechanism. when we flip down 6400's LCD cover & 'lock' it, we need to push some sort of key to 'unlock' it right? XPS's one is without the key. when u flip it down, it will just lock by itself. hard to describe. u gotta check it out.  smile.gif btw XPS is so so light.  tongue.gif

Cooling pad u can try CM notepal.  smile.gif

i m think to buy the sticker to cover my 6400 to become black...XD
glossy black. XD

anyone did tht to your 6400..mind to show it ? XD
