How you guys checked on the LCD manufacturer? Stated somewhere? In the driver file under Device Manager?

I don't think so. Besides, I don't think this model support PCMCIA.

I also upgraded the Wireless controller to support Wireless N too.

Hope that doesn't create any compatibility issue since it does support other modes.

I don't think that Wireless N is Wimax.

I think Wireless is enhancing currently WLAN A/B/G with MIMO capability (antenna coverage/directivity).

Where got such thing! As long as you have all the compatible drivers, it should be working. Hardware should be independent of software as long as it's using the same architecture, IA-32 or IA-64.

Even if it's a fully compatible driver from Dell, you can always get the OEM drivers from the OEM manufacturers (provided that you could dig these out).

What I could comment is that Inspiron 1420/1520/1720 is optimized (or fully compatible) for Vista. Hardware should be backward compatible with previous version/edition of OS (with driver support).

hao, what you're trying to describe is like a MAC whereby a serial number (in this case will be the product key) has been programmed hardware's PROM.

Only Vista Business edition and greater has IIS.

The one that support Wireless 802.11n.

dahfa, you created the above "song"?

Inspiron 1420/1520/1720 doesn't comply with Santa Rosa mobile platform right?

I don't think that it'll be available on 1420//1520/1720. Perhaps in their next model release.

That sounded a little weird. Have you confirmed that your burning procedures are correct? What software are you using? Have you tried on DVDR yet?

Maybe he meant extra discount that he could sequeeze from SA.

Really got such thing?

Heavy? Physical weight?

1520: Starting weight of 2.90 kg for the Inspiron 1520 is with a 15.4" WXGA LCD, integrated graphics, CD-RW/DVD and a 6-cell battery. Weights vary depending on configurations and manufacturing variability.

1420: Starting weight of 2.45 kg for the Inspiron 1420 is with a 14.1" WXGA LCD, integrated graphic, DVD+/-RW, and 6-cell Li-Ion battery. Weights vary depending on configurations and manufacturing variability.

1720: Starting weight of 3.45 kg with a 17" WXGA+ LCD, 6-cell battery, integrated graphics and a CD-RW / DVD drive. Weight varies depending on configurations and manufacturing variability.

Got it for roughly two weeks and still no time to give a deep exploration. Mainly used for normal routines - surf Internet, listen to mp3, watch TV series and etc.

You need your unique customer code or order number in order to check your order status online.

The best way is to get back to the SA that processed your order. Call or email him/her.
