Yo dude if you dont mind i have a few questions for you.
When received the laptop, what tests should I do to ensure that everything is working fine? (my 1520 has webcam and bluettooth as well)
Next i plan to use ONLY XP not dual OS. So how do I do so. I have sufficient experience for desktops but none for laptops.
To change the OS, what do i do first? What are the drivers that I need?
This is my plan;
Format whole laptop.
Install XP.
Install drivers for:
RAID(necessary since SATA HDD right?)
Chipset
LAN card
Audio
Graphic Card
USB ports
How about the modem, bluetooth, webcam and the card reader? Media Connect?
*
Modem is included on the pack.Do you really still using dial-up ?

The bluetooth is in the pack with chipset.

Webcam driver
http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloa...0&fileid=214672

card reader is on the pack too.R141246.

Mind I ask , did you actually try the driver??? dry.gif

As for Window Media Connect , do you still need it where Dell already provide Media Direct 3.3.

There is no 100% driver release on Dell Insprion 1X20.Those driver are the effort from users digging one by one and test every working driver.If you really desperate on getting 100% XP driver , you can kindly call dell to provide xp disc or driver download link.

They'll release the driver soon.There's also a way to get the driver.If I am not mistaken , Vostro that provide XP option for thier OS is actually using some same driver as Insprion.Maybe someone that order a Vostro 1500 model able to provide those driver.

Nope , I haven't got my laptop yet.Erm.. actually I haven't tested it yet , not sure whether it's complete or not as I see through the driver , it already pack with some of the most important driver.If you find something missing after you install , just reply and I will check out.
What do you mean 'use the media direct ' ? It's preinstall already and so with the recovery partition except you formated it.You need partition and install the Media Direct first before install window xp.The recovery ....did you back up ? It's just a recovery in case you have problem with your vista.

having sound problem ? did you try other songs ? I am not sure with it , but if the sound still jerk maybe you can call out dell tech to find it out.

Hi,

has anyone configure the laptop with ORI office 2007?

E-VALUE CODE : Q520722N already come with Office for Home & Student 2007 (value RM455)

Home & Student 2007 = Word/Excel/PowerPoint/OneNote

FREE Outside OEM cd price RM410 NOT APPLICABLE FOR FUTURE UPGRADE.

Basic OEM = Word/Excel/Outlook

ADD RM52 Outside OEM cd price RM570

small business OEM = Word/Excel/Powerpoint/Outlook with Business Contact Manager/Publisher

ADD RM331 Outside OEM cd price RM780

Pro OEM = Word/Excel /Powerpoint/ Outlook with Business Contact Manager/Publisher/Access

ADD RM594 Outside OEM cd price RM1050


since they throw in the Home & Student 2007 , all the pack look cheaper than market price. Unfortunately not many
people appreaciate the value of SOFTware compare to HARDware even though we will directly use/feel/see the
SOFTware.

already select and pay for Office PRO , then cancel it because there is alternative which is FOC but now a bit regret
because at this price this is a chance to legallise my SOFTware. If we can look at the software like 5 years investment maybe it is ok. Headache.

Any comment? have someone arrive at this decision point?

Hi again,

have anyone notice that the BELKIN sling bag and messenger bag already in the option to configure. Top up RM74.

Unfortunately unlike the Dell USA website they only offer 1 color to choose for each type.

I'm using Home & Student 2007 as it's still within my budget. If it's out of my budget, no choice but to go with the alternative one, the ori one doesn't come cheap.
