gosh....these models are going to be the nicest Inspirons ever!! like to various colours of LCD cover..looks like the Vaio.
 thumbs up for Dell! Inspirons are getting hipper & more vibrant styles. (not forgetting great performance too!)   anyone selling off their 6400 or 640m to get these??  ps : is the materials used still plasticky or some alloy has been used like the current XPS??

QUOTE(ayrez @ Jul 13 2007, 06:46 PM) anyone can tell me that i should take t5250 or t5450 for inspiron 1420? it's just a small speed difference between the both processors. if your budget allows u to spend extra RM315 then just opt for T5450. if not..just stick with T5250. sometimes u won't realise the speed difference. if comparing T5450 and T7100 there will be some difference as the FSB speed difference is 667Mhz and 800Mhz. not going for heavy gaming... for online, surfing, watchin movie...n for my engineerng course also...myab will b some design la... adobe photoshop can work smoothly rit?  if you're doing alot of photoshop..opt for a dedicated graphic card. it plays more important role than a faster processor. opt for 8400M GS instead of Intel X3100. mine with Intel GMA950 and 1GB RAM can run Photoshop quite smoothly given not running too many background processes so 1420 with 2GB RAM & 8400M GS should be very very smooth. with 8400M GS..u can even play latest games with decent settings. an extra point. extra RM175 well spent.

QUOTE(ayrez @ Jul 13 2007, 07:24 PM) so what u meant is i can stick with t5250..with 2G Ram... yup..but that's how i tink about it. it depends ur budget. C2D 1.5Ghz is sufficient for Vista. even Core Duo can run Vista smoothly. when comes to Vista..the issues will always be more RAM & a dedicated GC. and opt for d 8400GS? will the processor affect anything later?for longer term? vista got no prob with 1.5Ghz rit? sry i duno much bout all this... |

QUOTE(ayrez @ Jul 13 2007, 07:35 PM) my budget actually not that high wan..since this is my 1st laptop...will spoil quite fast i suppose..haha what's the spec of v3415? comes with C2D? just take 1420 since for extra 1K u get a decent lappy with 2G RAM, dedicated GC and nice design. plus point..it's from Dell. great warranty services. been choosing between compaq V3415 n dis.. so hope it cost ard 3k la... if the processor doesnt affect the whole laptop much..i ll opt for the GC... so i dont really know wht to do now.. shall i go for v3415 with 2G at rm 2399 or dell s new inspiron 1420 with c2d 1.5Ghz n gc at rm 3223?? got 1k diff... =.="  that's how i tink. a dedicated GC is very important nowadays with alot of applications requires graphics acceleration. even Vista needs a decent GC in order to run smoothly. it's just an future-proof investment u will never regret. trust me. if i would have given a choice last time & has more budget i would opt for a dedicated GC instead of GMA950. kinda actually regret.  |

QUOTE(ayrez @ Jul 13 2007, 11:04 PM) thx for everyone s addvices.. okay. photoshop might not require dedicated GC but just being on the safe-side and future-proof it's wise to invest in a good GC. that's how i tink. peace. @teikwing it comes with amdx2 turion dual core without os..so that s y it s cheaper.. i just came back from the roadshow.. u ll get a 2Gb thumbdrive or RM89 off if u customize ur laptop more than rm250... quite a good promoter they have thr... they said that t5250 is good enough for vista already..dont bother upgrading it if u dont have tat much of budget.. n they recommend me Vista Premium instead of Vista Home Basic..with additional charge of rm115.. so now my laptop goes up to RM 3338..minus RM89...it will b RM 3249... izit worth to take?? Dell is having a roadshow @ Pyramid? didn't noe about that.  that's the price they gave u during the roadshow? or have u tried configure online & see whether there's any price difference? Vista Premium is more eye-candy with Flip3D. |

QUOTE(AngleR35 @ Jul 16 2007, 01:19 AM) I also want to get this laptop.. Is it call to dell there better or booking online ? price after instant cash redemption is the price stated @ newspaper,brochures, online etc. the price shown is after discount (already discounted). let's say they mentioned RM2399 after RM600 instant cash redemption. this means that RM2399 is the price they're selling to u..originally it's RM2999. I am very blur at this cash redemption......how to count the price for it ? Haiz miss the roadshow T.T if you call Dell SA to order u might be able to nego the price slightly or get some freebies. depends on how u talk to them while buying online basically u just get what you've customised and ordered. nothing extra. but online order is more convenient. |

QUOTE(roustabout @ Aug 2 2007, 08:06 AM) In the dell website, the option for Celeron M processor is only available for 1420. Core 2 Duo Processor option is available for 1420,1520 and 1720. isn't Celeron M already an old tech proc same batch with Pentium M & Centrino? thought it has already been phased out. |

QUOTE(tslim2531 @ Aug 2 2007, 07:23 PM) This celeron M540 1.86Ghz is of the new platform, and just released at July. It is also using INTEL 965 chipset as well. No other notebook company is using this latest processor now as far as i observed. As for my brother's 1420 which is also using this processor, there is no problem at all running Vista (but now I've formatted it and loaded it with XP). The spec is also quite good (given free memory upgrade to 1GB DDR2 RAM and Free delivery) and it comes with INTEL X3100 integrated video card. The performance I can say is that it is not slow(used for web browsing, word processing and some light game). Good recommendation, actually prefer the 1420 size compared to my 1520 which weighs far more than 1420. Be careful if you choose the matte black colour, it sticks your finger grease very well and leaves a lot of grease (not fingerprint though) on the surface which is quite troublesome to clean of compared to my alpine white 1520 which have none of these problem at all. QUOTE(kingmax @ Aug 3 2007, 12:24 AM) Pc Fair price ! @tslim2531 : how much price diff for the same specs on diff procs? (Celeron M vs C2D)? means this new platform is better than the old Celeron M? Amazing PC Fair Deals : Get RM500 Instant Cash Redemption + FREE Upgrade to 2GB Memory + FREE Delivery! Dell(tm) Inspiron(tm) 1520 RM 2,899 100 cheaper , and 100 3 years warranty cheaper ...very nice price ! @kingmax : can't wait to go KLCC this Sat. wanna touch the new Inspiron & Vostro lineups. |
