just want to ask, how good is the build webcam for skype usage? noise level, clarity, and etc....thanks.

nobody getting the vostro? i think it's only slightly more exp, but should have a better build quality rite?

dats y i suggest u to take 1420...u r not taking 8600M GT aite? 1420 gc oso got 8400M GS aite? as a student, maybe u can consider a little bit more on mobility? hope u get wat i meant...hehe...well, its up to u...

What do you mean too narrow? I can see wide to the left and right. Not at the top though, bottom quite reasonable. And I'm not opt for Truelife. Maybe can confirm with Truelife users.

level 3 when operating without battery is really dim for me, level 8 (highest) when on ac power is just nice. Will it really save power if using the lower dim setting?


i'm quite interested to know all of your laptop battery performance. if could please state your laptop model, battery size and usage.

for me, 1420 with 6 cell battery. just be able to last 3 hours normal usage or maybe more. don't exactly take note on that. but on idle can last 6 hours. is it normal?

mine 1420 also can last slightly more than 3 hrs. normal usage with wifi on. i also don hv problem viewing with my Truelife screen. it's sharp & bright. however, build quality is so so only. not so solid at the media player button panel. the panel is pop up a bit. speaker is loud enough. my hdd got tickling sound, is it normal for dell laptop?

i do feel that this model is well build. i don't have the tickling sound i guess. not for normal use. only a lill bit of sound to let i know that it is alive when processing large file. not very noticeable though.

Getting my lappy on 1st Aug ...

Planning to install ubuntu but according to ubuntuforum, there is an issue setting up beryl/compiz for new Inter X3100 driver. Nvidia GT/GS should have no problem

I have a 1520 with 9-cell batt....which usually lasts me 4+ hours with bright settings and little gaming.

I usually set to High Performance power option when plugged in.

any1 notice that the 1420 at 1st they provide 6cells battery and now dell change to 9cells?

Being a heavy gamer or not does not really depend on the GPU. Some people play games all day even though they can only afford a x3100 or something because that's the best for them. IMHO, I'd advise you to cancel your deal or somehow, return it when you get it. You should've skimped on the complete cover, and do 3 years limited and I don't know what processor you've changed to but as long is it's core 2 duo it's fine. Heck, my friend configured a 1520 with 8600M GT and Rm200 to spare from his 4k budget

no vostro user????

Talking bout vostro, I was playing around with the configuration at dell's and the vostro 1500 vs inspiron 1520 is about the same price. (cheaper actually by a few ringgit haha) plus with vostro, it seems you have more options.

is vostro ok?
I heard its the same with previous models...They oni change the dimension.
The price is ok....but when u change the specs....it becomes too expensive.
For example,the 2GB ram.
U add 1GB for RM4**.
Thats abit too much.
And the processors are all c2d5*** and so on.
If u wana change to better one,it will cost more than the market price.
I guess its not value for money afterall.

izit worth the money?

yes
worth for money

ur price should be 3955 right?

Here's what I got:

Dell Inspiron 1520:


Dell Vostro 1500


Yes, vostro is missing some items like the webcam and the little fancy stuff which could be bought from other companies. As for the OS, i choosed the cheapest for vostro cause personally I won't be using the OS that comes together. I wish they would offer 512mb ram haha, that way can save more money.

Now, if only there are 17" vostros available.
