erksssss.....
anyway welcome to the club...
so...what's your notebook status now...

ish...ish...ish...

a VERY small dent on my hdd cover....lol. nothing other than that. thank god for the metal chassis

i had to slip a bit of paper under the keyboard near the arrow keys cause it was sinking in, and when i opened up to upgrade ram i found a space between the keyboard and the optical drive. other than that no complaints

dead for few days..??

Not much to report? Haha, my M1210 still doing fine after about 2 weeks of endless use... BUT, I just noticed that the gap between the black magnesium cover and the grey plastic LCD frame is quite noticable... Design defect? My paranoia?

Well, unless it comes apart (and providing me with a good opportunity to assess how "COMPELTE" Complete-Cover really is), I guess we won't know for sure... Eh?

But, things are getting stable on my side of the M1210 use... Not much gaming on it anymore, OR GUI mods... Maybe it's the exams I'm currently taking... Maybe its just me getting old...

OR, maybe its the 2nd hand Sony Clie PEG-TJ37 PDA that I just brought that's taking my mind of the M1210 (and ANOTHER 2nd hand Clie PEG-SJ22 I got barely a few days before that)...

Talk about exam induced madness...

When a 12incher is STILL too big, what would you do? For me (considering the limited amount of money that I have to even THINK of getting a EeePC), I succumbed to the devils of vintage Palm computing...

And, 3 years on (except for the crap battery life), the PEG-TJ37 holds its own nicely even against most Windows Mobile PDAPhones... Even with its crap 32MBs of storage (thankfully expandable to 4GB through MSProDuo Cards), it STILL feels faster then my friend's HTC Touch... I know I can't phone people with the Clie though, but I expect my PDA to be just that: A PDA...

My Eiten-Tan - SE W810i - can fill up for much of the rest...

Thinking of doing a full article on the evolution of PDAs (at least how I see it)... Maybe later after exams...

Iphone ~~~~~ (fanboy fanboy chanting at the back...) or Asus eePC PPC or wuteva it called.

Haha... IMHO I still think the Iphone's a complete waste of money... For now (with the current lack of WiFi and 3rd party programs anyway)...

The Eee PC's an entirely diff story though, but the currently imported 4GB version isn't really THAT practical (I can carry 4GB in my pocket mind you, swap it at will for another 4GB MSPro plus the fact that Documents To Go 10 STILL has better Word 2007 compatibility then the OpenOffice on the Eee)...

UNLESS you manage to install WinXP on it... Only then can it be considered really practical (if not a bit toasty and cramped - 4GB minus WinXP install = not a lot of space left... But, you can always plug a External HDD into it, right?)...

guys..currently my 1210 is running 2 x 512mb ram,i was thingking to upgrade by adding another 1gb ram into it,so i went to 1310 thread to ask around they said kingston value ram cant be use on dell laptop..er..anyone who upgrade their 1210 using kingston or corsair..I was planning to get a corsair 667 1gb cause in the garaje sales theres a guy selling at low price with 1to1 1yr exchange

a guy upgrade his 1310 using mushkin set

Hi All,

My keyboard button has dropped out. Can anyone guide me to fix it by myself or is there any service centres in KL that i can visit to solve this problem.

Thanks alot everybody! Great thread!

talking about the EeePC...it also came in my mind...but thinking again the memory sizes...not worth...
anyway...still loving this M1210...but the weight really making me want a more lighter 12'inch notebook...

erksss...are you saying that Kingston ram can't be used in M1210 or M1310?...
if not mistaken it was kwws....try to check with him...

erksss...your button dropped out...better call Dell for assistance...
or is there anyone experienced of fixing it back?...if not mistaken there are...but i didn't know it...so any M1210 users mind to help our friend here?...

call dell only..still under warranty rite..they will change a new 1 for you

Thanks guys.. will call them in the morning. Cheers!

they're quite fast.

i complained on friday about my screen (midnight )
then sat morning they reply about doing some software and stuff ( i did it to humor them)
then i replied same evening
monday they replied they send tech over to replace screen in two days
tuesday tech came over and was fast and professional with things. even asked me to call him if anything happened!

they called at 11 ( i was asleep) and so after 10 miss calls...they called my dad. who called me when the guy came over. haha.

i like dell customer service. wanna upgrade warranty lol.
my friend abuses it. haha.

i feel my m1210 is aging already. slowing down in terms of GPU power. cpu wise there still is quite a bit left but im using this machine less on gaming, looking to buy either a psp or a desktop for that.

just upgraded to vista ultimate...seems that LV2G drivers don't work with windows dreamscene...currently using drivers downloaded from windows update

so should i stick to it or can anyone give me suggestions?

@zhinsara
feel the same way too, but hey, it runs CSS without a hick, and thats enough for me.

P.S: man this thread is going to be buried by 1330 and 1530, lol

i just upgraded to one year warranty CC. thank god this laptop never fails me

owh!...congrats!...for how much you paid...

man!...i feel this is another killing machine from Dell ------------> Dell's Latitude XT Tablet PC !!!




12'inch and lighter some more...really an eye-catching...

well i paid a premium price of rm500...well at least it eases my worries a little bit....for one more year.....

anyone extend their warranty b4?

tempted but two years of complete cover is like rm750 >.<

got to beg my parents LOL.

Not here, I went for the whole "9 course dinner" (the three-year CompleteCover) during purchase (cheaper by a few hundred bucks)...

Sorry for disappearing for quite a while, guys... I... went PDA crazy for a while...

On the subject of warranty extensions, I'm currently thinking of extending warranty for my Axim, which, surprisingly, seems to still be possible (according to the SA that I talked to yesterday morning, as I was trying to buy some batteries for the Axe from Dell - cheaper then third party + shipping )...

And yes, my Clie TJ37 has just gotten its backside whooped... it's in my Mom's hands now...

Now I'm really becoming a Dell fanboi... My Axie-Tan keeps on surprising me (managed to make it play some of my Animes without any re-encoding - on a PDA? Yeah, I'm pretty surprised myself... God, they're sharp as heck on the 640x480 3.6' screen - if you can overlook the famous "polarization issue")... Pity Dell didn't think the Axim line was profitable enough and - excuse the pun - axed it...

I'm gonna get me some 16GB compact flash cards and make some Ipod Touches envious (try playing unreencoded DIVX movies, buster!)... Excuse the Apple-o-phobia...

On the M1210 front, currently having a blast playing COD4 multiplayer on Japanese servers (when the skies are clear and the pings are low)... Thank god the COD4 engine is darned scalable, it still looks amazing even with most graphics settings dumbed down... I guess I'm an easy man to please...

yo Eiraku my man,

By the way, good thing that XPS of urs still be able to play current games. My laptop is now back to it's mothership already (super-long "fortunate" story of derred). And oh, did i mentioned it will never ever come back?
