Running without Admin privileges, it can monitor CPU, RAM and GPU temp... Only HDD monitoring needs Admin privies, so yeah I'd say use I8kfanGUI...

I'm running 50 processes on idle, right after boot... Even with additional stuff like Avedesk, AutoHotKey and Samurize running...

Added on June 26, 2007, 11:06 pmIt's the heat... Not easy to mount a 8400M GT in a thin silver door wedge without turning it into a SCALDING HOT thin silver door wedge... I reckon there's just not enough air circulation space within the M1330 to handle it...

Tried configuring an Inspiron 1520 too, a typical 2GHz C2D, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD, 8600GT (Dell DOES listen to stuff people post on IdeaStorm after all), 3 Yrs CC rig goes to around RM6.5k++, converted...

holy fast, already got review from notebookreview.com

http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?...eview=XPS+M1330

Crap that's fast...

lol its not they getting it thru like we as the consumer did. Its like the m9750 that i gave, somehow they will give those magz and sites first to review their stuff.

It's out guys... Starting at RM5199 for lowest spec... Get it while it's hot (or wait till it's cheap!)...

As for me, 2 USBs are a killer, even with everything else... M1210 or bust for me!

This page is now reporting RM4,599 as a promotional price, excluding delivery.

Seems that Dell is in the middle of fixing up the site to properly reflect the XPS M1330's pricing and whatnot.

I think that's the one without the LED backlight or something. That should explain the lower price

Hmm. The LED-backlit display costs an additional $150 USD at the Dell US site the last I checked. I'm wondering if there will be any real-world advantages to using the LED-backlit display. The video 'review' that's out right now gives very few concrete details about the XPS M1330's actual performance. Battery life has been left out of the picture entirely.

Well, check out the "slim & light" tags... AND the sub megapixel camera... It's the premium screens alright, but I guess pricing's all screwed up...

Added on June 27, 2007, 2:24 amChanged the Thread description... Rejoice, M1210 users, we are officially using a "classic" XPS, the one that started it all (in Malaysia anyway)...

just now configured inspiron 1520 with your mentioned spec, it costs rm4.5K only, what a nice price with good spec

guys,
dont u feel this m1210 12" display too small for usage n watch video?

actually, i'm quite comfortable with the 12.1''..... for movie watching... dont put it too far lah... haha.....

but if u have keyboard u have no choice but to put it far

now everyone is talking about M1330.... maybe can change the title.... to only XPS support....
by the way... just want to ask... what is your m1210 idle cpu temp and max cpu temp?
mine about 60~65degC idle, max 80degC when load using intel thermal analysis tool...

well im okay with it...as long as ur close to it la...further away might not be nice but its still clear


mine idle fan room is about 60 (rarely reach this tho)...air-con room is 55 (also rarely reach) like that...of course im using a DIY speedball i elevate the back a little so airflow better at bottom and typing comfier at an angle


man finally turn off the UAC thing...didnt know at first had tat thing to turn on n off ...tot it was gonna always ask me 4 times whether i wan delete something haha

someone tell me why my pages shaking up n down when i use mozilla to browse....compatibility issue?

m1330's price is just like my m1210 when i ordered!!! Hope my next laptop 3yrs later will be an XPS too

this issue is because of the bookmark toolbar....
it will shake up and down if you have no entry in the bookmark toolbar...
disable the bookmark toolbar or u add something to it...
to disable
View>Toolbars>Bookmark toolbar

What tool do you use for analysis? just now i test, temperature rose to 87degC while in air-cond room (24degC).
I've call dell and they said idle temperature is ok but they not sure about temperature during 100% loading. as they didn't use any tool to test their system. but they said that if i'm not satify they will send an engineer to check. they will open my xps to check the fan but it hard for me to say yes....
what's your opinion? should i call them to check or leave it?

m1330 just gorgeous, but for some reason i feel 1210 hav its own sexiness,lol

I use I8kfanGUI to monitor the temp, but analysis... Hmm... But 87 (IF that's your CPU temperature) is quite abnormal, mine never went beyond 75 even while playing STALKER or Far Cry... And my graphics card temp never exceed 78 or so as well...

Something's wrong, and if Acer lappies are anything to go by, extra heat --> busted motherboard... Get them to exchange your M1210 for a new one, quote the "14-Day Total Satisfaction Policy" that they have, wherein if you are not satisfied BY ANY MEANS with the Dell product you just bought, you can request a FULL REFUND or A REPLACEMENT UNIT within 14 Days OF RECEIVING THE PRINTED INVOICE (usually a few days after unit delivery)... Demand your right!

If you got a lemon, it's very, very unlikely that you'll get 2 in a row...

True, it's just a tad more muscular then the sleek M1330...

Added on June 28, 2007, 12:20 amWell, UAC's there for a reason IMHO (I've been using Ubuntu Linux for quite a bit, so quite used to prompts coming up on the screen for admin actions) and I'd rather not turn it off (for one, most viruses do stuff that need admin access, so UAC should just block them)... I just make sure that the screen doesn't black out when it does come out...
