D630 Owners Thread

Est. Delivery Date: 7/23/2007-7/25/2007

woohoo~! two weeks earlier than previous est delivery date!

 

I've had mine for a few weeks now (integrated graphics, not the NVS 135) and Im pretty satisfied with it...as for the screen, I have the Chi Mei screen at WXGA+ and I think its decent...my one complaint though, is that I hear a loud clicking sound coming from the lower left of the laptop periodically...it appears to have some correlation with the fan, for about 6 or 7 out of every 10 times I hear the click, I can hear the fan changing settings (either going to a higher speed or slowing down)...not sure if the click is normal, but aside from that, I love my D630...

 

clicks on the fan? you should call dell up and do an exchange. My other D630's hard drive sounded like a hair toner. Well, up to you. If i were you, i would have returned it the same day upon receiving it.

 

just got mine this afternoon..
its nice.. i was expecting it to be lighter but it's built very well

 

Mine's coming today. Ordered on 16th, est. ship date was 07/27

 

how do you adjust the screen color/contrast?

 

Has anyone done the Turbo Memory (Robson) upgrade themselves? I am just wondering if I need to find the screws that need to hold the card in place or are they already there. How much of a pain is it to install the card? I am gonna get the card from Amazon for like $30 delivered.

 

I read in the lenovo forum that you do need to get screws seperatley

 

Yeah, I read that too, but, ugh, that's Lenovo. Dell might be different.

Edit: I see (from your sig) you ordered a D630 with a WSXGA+ panel. Umm, there is no such thing on the D630's 14" LCD. Do you mean WXGA+?

 

How noisy is the D630?, can you hear the fan when using it?. As a future D630 owner this is the only aspect that worries me.
