New Dell Vostro V131

What about the Tucano Colour? It's a standard neoprene sleeve case. I've found it at a good price (15£) but maybe it doesn't protect much...

I would use it to carry the laptop inside by backpack (that is just cotton, without any "protection") and in my hard suitcase when I travel.

I was thinking to buy a bag to replace my backpack + sleeve case but then I still need a sleeve case to put the laptop in the suitcase.

 

I think the neoprene sleeve will be fine as long as it's in some sort of bag or case, if nothing else it will protect the notebook from scratches.

 

update:

so i received my v131 today, after of 2 hours of messing it with i am very pleased with the machine.

Pros:
-form factor
-bright screen
-kinda fast with just 7200rpm hdd
-lifting screen with 1 hand *no need to hold down the laptop*
-came with bluetooth and fingerprint. though i dont see it on the components list.

im liking this very very much

 

found my first defect, it looks like Dell has tapered with the left hinge.

left hinge isn't sitting as flush as the right hinge. and it moves slightly as i open the lid (right hinge seems to be solid with no movement*

 

Is it normal that the lower part of the lid scratch a bit on the body of the laptop making two "tick" when you open it?

 

..and also. Has ever happen to you that after watching a dark video for a while and going back from full-screen to normal, the screen contrast and brightness get really high and you have to close the lid and opening it again to fix it?

 

Any chance the CPU is socketed?

 

I have personally not had that problem, but I've only had mine about 3 weeks.

 

Luckily I have not had that problem either.

 

Cpuz says my i3 is socket 988b rPGA.
