hi there,im a new xps owner here,just got it today. i ordered yesterday which is friday and im kinda suprised that they process my order so fast and i having it on the next day, its a plus for Dell~

my spec are :
t7200 2ghz
2gb ram
dvd rw
nvidia go 7400
160gb HDD
1.3 mp webcam
3 yrs completecover
got a question here,what driver does this graphic card use??forceware??

already gave them a call, upon confirming the service tag no and ownership, they have asked me to email them a photo of the subject matter.

keeping my fingers crossed!

XPS M1210 looks a lot sexier than that 
I'll get my 2nd part of my review up here soon.. too busy with work. So far, my XPS is perfect!

New XPS user here....

BUT...

A little disappointment over...
1. TOO heavy
2. TOO bulky
3. 1 dead pixel 
4. Keyboard looks cheap leh 

Ordered on 18-May; Received on 22-May. Haven't really tried yet as I returned from work quite late last night.

BTW, my Vista's index only score 2.8....how come??? 

hi guys,im back..with my m1210 with a new fan & heatsink & my 3dmark06 score 83X poinr now..back to normal & my idle temp is 60C & highest 79C..

but the sad part is..my system need to be taken back to the service center & to be force open due to a spoiled screw done by the previous technician..it took 1week  for me to get back my system..& they had broken the palm rest & bottom casing..therefore they changed a new 1 with my old sticker,service tag number...etc being tear off & transfer to the new bottom casing..which is horrible..i'll upload the pic tomorrow..oh man..its heart breaking  to see my baby look so horrible,besides the centrino duo & windows vista capable sticker was taken from my old system..why do dell doesnt replace me a new 1..

i'll complain & try to claim for new sticker..

the webcam or a 2GB memory..which will u guys go for?need reply ASAP,thanx

and any of u guys which is on 1gb did an upgrade by getting an additional 1gb ram from outside?do the dell 1gb run dual channel with your newly bought 1gb ram?

omg..i just check with dell their 1piece of 1gb ram cost rm800..

Do you think they'll give me a laptop that someone had problems with before or one that's fresh from the assembly line?

So worried and scared that they'll give me old parts or something. Or someone's reject.

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)"...  "

Looks 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...     

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...

so dell really phasing out m1210?anymore solid information to confirm this?if its true then it "might" b a good news for some. most of us will be planning on Operation-Destroying-1210-For-1310 mission with all sort of reasoning,lol. i wish i could get a new 1310 too but too sad that i might be heart shaking to "accidently" totaled my 1210...

Azel,

hahaha, the latitude has no shock absorbers as far as i know. the latitude's surface is totally flat, of course it still has the four rubbers, but they're thin. the xps' surface is not quite flat eh..

oh ya, any idea if i still can purchase the 9 cell batt..

today, i called up Dell saying tht i am not happy with my purchase as the webcam is horrendous, the media buttons are too small for me to press and flimsy, the touchpad is cramped up..in fact i noticed the thing was not done well, the chrome area has scratch. ermm..the lid's surface gets all the stains...so i said tht i wanna exchange it for the 1330 and will pay the difference. they said no..if i wanted to, they will charge rm80 for collection, and 20% of the price i paid for my xps as restocking fee...so all in all, i would have lost slightly more than RM 1K and would have to add another 1.2K at least for the 1330 which i sooooo crave for. It's not worth it la..
