double check with sales guy, generally they dont send the bluetooth mouse and when asked they would give some lame excuses.

finally got my dell studio 1555 ....a few questions....is it better for the battery if I keep the lap plugged in at all times? I am using it as a desktop replacement so AC power is available......

2) I connected it to another dell studio 1555 via wifi ..the laptop shows the other laptop but when I double click on it .it asks me to check the spelling of the name of the other laptop ....I even tried using the ip address ....the firewall is off ...

u have to understand one thing about the laptop especially the laptop under 60K r not much capable of playing all the games
with HD 4570 u can some games @ medium level , but not the crysis ,farcry2 @ medium .. horrible grafix

 

[izzikio_rage]

I got the same ....the lap is great .....you'll be able to run crysis and all at medium settings, bioshock at almost full and quite a lot more at near the top levels ....My only advise is to check the soundcard thing...its creative's sound enhancement software ..not a sound card ...by the way the one that is default is pretty good.


guys ..help me connect to another studio 15 in vista...

@ what resolution u run crysis ??

 

[IronManForever]

Guys, I need a laptop. No, not a netbook.

Purpose: Should run Linux (Ubuntu) flawlessly. Field computer. Should be comfortable to work with. Should have a DVD drive.

Price: 20k to 30k. Basically this isnt about speed or hardware or anything. Any budget full size notebook with RAM upgradeable to 4GB (if possible).

Do I have choices?

 

[techno0065]

dell vostro 1310 series are good & also the acer Extensa series goes good for the LINUX

@damngoodman999
It was kinda hard to look up Dell Vostro 1310. A product link? I think these models are expensive? Cuz the ones I got were 1,000$+.

Also which Acer Extensa model is within the range?

@azaad_shri75
I think Acers are less dependable than Dells?

I just need an inexpensive notebook that runs Linux well. Any hardware prerequisites can be neglected.

 

[azaad_shri75]

I said vostro not all dell models,

about the dell studio 1555 ...nope the screen is great ...no colour problems yet, altough the factory settings for the contrast and gamma and all could have been better ....am looking for some software to set these optimally, will let you know more on this soon...

As far as heating is concerned ..no it does not heat up too much as long as the vents are not obstructed so no lying on the bed and using the lappy...Long hours of gaming and all will heat the lap to some extent but then also the palm rests and all do not heat up too much ....also I have a 9 cell battery so it gives a nice front tilt to the laptop creating even more space for air circulation ....

the lap is pretty good ..looks ...keyboard ...features and all....vista is a pain but then dell have now oficially released windows XP dirvers for this model so will move to XP soon....

You can check out other reviews in the reviews section of this forum ....will post a longer review there soon....

I am using the product since the past two weeks. No such screen problems, at least for me. Heard that they are replacing the faulty screens with newly calibrated screens.

The laptop doesn't heat up much. I spend hours playing GTA IV and obtained 43~48 FPS with the latest ATI catalyst 9.5 drivers (modded to work with Dell s1555, by myself ) Even after playing for hours, the product does not get heated up. I am not using any form of notebook coolers..
