Ya I have that problem with NHC too.

I8kfanGUI seems to be having problem reading the status of the fan 2.It just shows it as 922 RPM.

funnay... almost all the posts in this thread discuss the M1210 defects

Glad that I didn't take the same path as you guys. my latitude coming in tomorrow.

Dell offer free upgrade to 2GB for this week

latitude have much more better build in quality,thats why its more expensive..mostly for office use only

It's a worthwhile lappy, really... IF you don't get a lemon...

The problem is, each M1210's hand built per order, so there's sure a little slice of lemony goodness in every M1210... Thank god I have nothing against temperamental tech products... I sorta live by the thrill of tuning stuff and solving problems, so I'm a bit happy my M1210's a bit temperamental... I'd be trying to break it otherwise...

Think of it as a expensive configurable clone lappy with an exceptional warranty, (rather then a cheap branded lappy with a good warranty) that should make people happier...

But the Lat, now that's a good piece of equipment... Lots of companies would go belly up if the Lat breaks down as often as the XPS... Hahaha...

Besides, if the lappy's got no problems, it'll be a pretty boring thread...

Maybe we should call the M1210 "the little lappy that could (most of the time anyway)"... "

Added on May 29, 2007, 2:28 amLooks like redjol was rite... New M1210 coming, ETA June 26th in the US (which is crap as they build most of the XPS lappies here anyway)... Thinner and lighter then our M1210, Santa Rosa (but not Centrino Pro, funny) slot loading dvd-burner, LED backlight LCD, GeForce 8400M...

Ah, always left behind by the currents of progress...

At least if my M1210 decides to go totally kaput before the 3 Yr CC is up, I can look forward to an upgrade...

I use Rivatuner. There's a tutorial for that somewhere in this thread. You also can access it at the frontpage of this thread.

any pic or website to see ?

Well they didn't say new. They just said they were going to replace it. Oh no.

What happens to the unit that I return then? I mean... I'm sure other XPS owners return theirs too. They just fix it up and send it out as new ??

Their XPS Promotion this week comes with webcam and 2GB RAM! GRRR...

Don't think theres any pics of the new xps.

Gizmodo has a post about it.

I wonder how pricey will it be?

wah!...really?...at lowyat 2gb@667 priced rm320?...which shop?
guess...should upgrade for bigger capacity...what brand is it?

erksss...a successor of XPS is it?...any pictures to share?
wah!...wonder if its more attractive than ours one...
aik?...looking forward for an upgrade?...mind to elaborate more...

why the picture seems to be the same as the current XPS?...

ok.... ur replacement system is definitely new ...

ur previous return system will be use as refurbished system , where they taken out the part and use it for warranty purpose ... they definitely wont use it as a new replacement unit for other user or sell it as a new unit ....

if u caught them selling refurbished unit or repaired unit as new system , u can sue them ....

That's good to know. So they will dismantle my laptop and use it to repair/replace other laptop parts? My system works pretty ok... just the wobbly part which I think is easily fixed.

Although my system hung yesterday. It turned off on his own after nobody used it for two hours. Then when I tried to resume it, it didn't work at all... I had to take out the battery and put it back to get it working again... that's two times it hung since I got it last week. The last time, the welcome sound kept on coming on after resuming my laptop.

I think I have replied so many times for the same problem here. Eiraku, i think we need a volunteer to do a tutorial for this one. pigduck, what do u mean by resuming ur laptop? Did u mean ur resume from idling (like moving the mouse or typing on the keyboard)?

I dont know what exactly is it but i think i helped some ppl with same problem before and so far their problems resolved. I would suggest to resolve the wobble problem first, bcoz no point of repairing the idle problem but then u will get a brand new replacement because of the wobble problem. let us know anything later.

Hmm, the idle problem... I'm not suffering from it so I don't really know... If you know of a solution, by all means derred, we need your expertise...

Everyone keep an eye out for pics of the new M1210... Some are bound to get leaked somehow...

any chance that dell will bring the 20" XPS lappie to our shores?

Now Dell XPS M1210 selling santa rosa at 26 june with 8400m

Hope the price is not that expensive.

Well, that's not quite a lappy either... The M2010 will break your legs if your put it on your lap...

No news of it, or the M1710 coming to our shores...

Hmm are there much differences between Core 2 Duo and Santa Rosa in terms of performance? Too bad there's no latitude threads here. I wonder how's the D630 performing.I almost wanted to get D620 instead of this xps last time.

yeah!...been looking for the new XPS M1210 pictures...come and come,leaked the pictures to the public...

erksss...are you looking forward for that model is it?...
it is soooooo BIIIIGGGGG....

wah!...really?...Dell will be selling XPS M1210 with santo rosa on 26th.June?cool...
wonder how would it be...another "monster specs" arriving our shores...

erksss...still prefer XPS as an small-size notebook...

@ pigduck, u can read this thread laptop hanging problem and follow the instructions. See what happen and fortunately it worked out for that guy.

I dont think it has anything to do with XPS, it is just random depending on your OS settings or driver-related problems. Few of m9700s owners' did have the same exact problem but it all happened after they switched to non-official graphic driver. As for you now, i dont think its a driver-related problem. Eiraku, a tutorial for this one would be a good help in the future i think. Alot of ppl get stuck with the same exact idling problem.

I have been busy since last week. I hope this busy-ness will end soon. Let me know if im the lucky pick for the tutorial job.

@everyone else

Somehow the next XPS make me think, what is the best mobile card available for laptop in Malaysia for now? Dont give me the best mobile GPU in the world or i will slap the crap out of u. is there any 7950gtx ? that would be awesome demn.

oh 8400M or 8600M is great, its have some dx10 features to play on for mobile system but obviously the 78xxgtx/79xx gs/gtx have more power than the mid-range 8xxx mobile series. On the downside tho, the 7xxx series lack dx10 features. So i dont consider 8400M is the best mobile card out there (yet), since there is no dx10 games (yet). and even if there is, 78xx and higher cards will do better in terms of graphic processing but just lack in terms of other functionality (lighting,AA,etc ) or dx10 capabilities to be specific.
