Aiseh, I just noticed something disturbing on my XPS... At right bottom part of the screen (the extreme end beside the right hinge), there's a very small but noticable gap in the upper part of the plastic and the lower part of the plastic (the part that has XPS engraved on it)... And along the back part too, right above the battery. There's the same smallish gap from the left hand side of the battery (right after the AC connector) to the right side of the laptop (above the network connector and the screw beside it)... The left side, the side with the AC connector is completely smooth, no gaps... Is there something really wrong with my XPS or is that just Dell quality assurance screwing up again? Sigh... The problem is, I've grown quite attached to this XPS... And other than that slight gap problem, there's nothing else quite wrong on it...  So guys, I have two more days left to return this baby for a replacement, what do you guys think? Stick with it, a few warts and all, or be extremely anal retentive and risk getting a replacement with an whole new potential set of problems to solve? I'll put up pics later to show just what I'm talking about... This post has been edited by Eiraku: Apr 29 2007, 01:14 AM |

I would like to add something here. Take note for all owners of Dell XPS M1210.
For those who wants to reinstall or reformat or downgrade to Windows XP or whatever, before doing anything please make sure you activate your bluetooth in your Windows before proceeding to your new installation. This is because if you fail to do this step, your new installation will fail fo recognize your bluetooth after that. The only solution then will be reinstalling on your Windows Vista and installing the driver and then reactivating it again. Funny how this bluetooth works.  |

i'm just forwarding their question from the old thread to here...
to cherish this thread... QUOTE(NewbieBetta @ Apr 29 2007, 02:32 AM) i think m1210 only come with Go7400..I do wish its Go7600 or even higher..but hell..my 7400 have 80C on idle..soon after my exam im gonna call them for a replacement either on whole xps or the gpu(equal to mobo) aishe..if change mobo it will be the 3rd time of mobo changing..sien ledi..might as well they giv me a whole new unit...since i had changed my processor & ram before.. QUOTE(dingding @ Apr 29 2007, 02:51 AM) I've got my replacement unit. At first glance, i'm happy with it. But soon after checking more of it, I'm thinking of sticking with the old one. The screen panel they now use is a toshiba one, which has inferior quality compared to the old Samsung panel. The contrast is not that good and the effect is significant when viewing low contrast photos..... And apart from that, the hinge of it seems a bit loose, which gives me a 'not-so-good' feeling. The LED for the volume control also seems inferior. It seems unequally lit compared to the old one. And for the hard disk, the old one uses a Hitachi hard disk which has a max internal speed of 540Mbit/s whereas the new unit uses a Toshiba hard disk that has a max internal speed of only 474.7Mbit/s. The old one scorede 4.4 for windows experience index while the new one scored only 4.3. And the graphics card also seem to have a lower performance compared to the old one. In the Windows Experience Index, the old one scored 3.7 for Graphics and 3.4 for Gaming graphics while the new one scored 3.6 for graphics and 3.3 for gaming graphics. The reason for this lower performance is unknown. The driver version for both are the same. Haihz... QUOTE(eyen @ Apr 29 2007, 09:47 AM) How do you check the contrast? Coz I have a toshiba screen too for my replacement.but compared to the AUO and samsung one I had, this one seems to be ok (no major light leakages, no wavy lines). I got a toshiba harddisk too but no complains about it as its a lot quieter than the previous hitachi one which has this hissing sound. my gaming graphics has a score of 3.4 but the aero graphics has only 3.6. previous one has 3.7.no idea why is there a discrepancy. |

What do you guys think I should do? |
