wanna ask do you guys have this problem?? I haev 2 xps m1210, same specs,same software installed, etc....

but on one of it, i have 2 users, and the other is main admin...
the one with 2 user account tends to be slower/laggier than the other one, is it suppose to be like this??

(it is laggier when 2 users are active at the same time.....i.e instead of log off, use switch user)

I encounter frequent booting problem with my XPS M1210. Whenever I boot, it stuck on a black screen while half way booting into Windows XP. Already tried reinstalling Windows but the problem persists. All the 3rd party programs in the XPS M1210 also being used in my other different branded laptops too. Dell personnel asked me not to turn on the Windows auto update & system restore, however I don't think all these will solve the problem permanently though since evn reinstalling Windows also can't solve it. Any of you guys facing this?

Well, Dell only provides for the XPS M1210 here in Malaysia... I'll put up info on both the M1710 and the M2010 (which is not quite a laptop, really) as soon as they start selling them here in Malaysia, but the only XPS we have in Malaysia right now is the M1210... sweat.gif

But, if I must, no problems mate... Renaming thread... I can always put up a new thread for the M1710 later... Sorry for the trouble... icon_rolleyes.gif

nah... not a must. just to give my 2-cents.

If u're playing graphic intensive games, i recommend you to get a laptop cooler. It really cools down ur laptop tremendously... well at least for mine(I'm using Coolermaster Coolpad). I think it's quite normal for laptops to heat up while playing 3D games.

I'm gonna get myself a CoolPad or a Notepal later... The CM Notepal looks nice though... icon_rolleyes.gif

I'm not sure, but that sounds like you have a bad boot sector, or the MBR (Master Boot Record = wiki entry HERE ) have been corrupted... As you've said you've reinstalled Windows I'll assume that you've reformatted the HDD? But a bad boot sector/corrupted MBR = HDD problem...

Try to get a new HDD from Dell... It should (should, but sometimes they can make it hard... assert your rights! Call for the manager! Complain loudly!) be easy if you have CompCover... icon_rolleyes.gif

Yes,you should.If not mistaken,heat will reduce the battery life,correct me if I am wrong.

Yep, heat decreases battery life... For me, I like to keep it in though... I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to blackouts - I like to know I have a battery to keep my data safe when everything goes kaput... icon_rolleyes.gif

And besides, I'm using the advanced no write-cache settings for my HDD ---> makes the HDD faster but there's a huge chance for data loss if I lose power suddenly... So I keep my batt in for that purpose... sweat.gif

Hamachi is a software that allows you to play game with ur friend through internet just like if you were in a LAN.

FYI to all XPS M1210 owner, DELL recently released new driver for GeForce Go 7400 and Intel 3945 ABG wireless (dated late April 2007). You can download it from the support website of dell. I have tried both and work perfectly. So far I do not notice the differences. I have as well updated my BIOS update patch, and again so far do not notice the differences.

i called dell and asked them regarding whether i should remove it, and they told me it's not neccessary. They say mobos will cut off the power to it once it's fully charge.
And one thing i'm concerned of is the possibility of dust accumulation at the contact if you remove the battery.
