XPS M1210
Finally received my laptop today, its been sitting in the post office for the past 2 days because nobody was home so I get them to delay the delivery. So far, this laptop is nice, especially with the 20″ wide screen monitor next to it! The keyboard is quite nice, its easy to type which is a very good feature, that being said, it has a ’sandy’ feel when i’m typing. (maybe i should cut my finger nails….)
Just a note (I found out the hard way) - to activate the windows AERO feature you need to do the following:
- Right Click on your Desktop
- Select “Personalise”
- Select “Window Color and Appearance”
- Then Select “Windows Aero”
To Actually use it, you need to press Control + Windows Key + Tab.
The Disappointment:
I ordered the 256MB Nvidia Gefore Go Turbo Cache Video Card and I was expecting to get 256MB of Video RAM. In actual fact, you are suppose to get 64MB of RAM and the other 192MB of RAM is shared from your phyiscal RAM you have installed on your laptop. I was definitely not expecting this! i found out the hard way… BUYERS BEWARE!
Check out the packing order and the system information out for yourself, I had to phone Dell up for this one!
Apart from that, everything is going great with the laptop. I won’t have much time to play around with it during the weekend because i’ve got seminars to attend.
