OMG! take more pics! especially of the screen! what resolution did you order?

Can you please please please, measure the screen(the screen(LCD) itself without the bazel plastic) and post the width and height?

 

Yeah We Want Nudez!!

 

I just had a dellgasm

 

It's a 1280x800 antiglare I hate shiny screens

I'm just home for lunch right now will have to wait until later for more

 

Same, now when is my 1520 going to get here?

 

Generic-looking laptop alert!

Sorry, couldn't resist. I've only owned Dells for many years, but dear lord are most of their laptops boring as mud.

 

Screw that

when is my m1330 gonna be here

OH YEAH.. AUGUST 8TH

wow

 

wow nice screens! please more! ditch your job, screw it! lol

and please the size of the screen(LCD width/height)



Congrats on your sweet lappie!!!

 

wonderful, you got the black too, just like me!!! looking forward to more pictures.

i think you just made my mind up to keep my order, no matter how long it takes slow dell to build.

 

Is the bottom made out of plastic or magnesium? I find the easiest way to tell is comparing the sound when hitting it and the plastic palmrest with something metal like a ring. I like the D630 design better, but I also like the design of ThinkPads, so sleek simplicity is more of my style.

 

what the hell is with how far that memory card reader sticks out? sheeeesh...

one thing i wanna know, is the fan really loud at full? like MBP loud?

 

It had come loose during shipping I pushed it back in after taking the pics. It fits flush with the bezel.

I haven't turned it on yet.

 

what the hell are you waiting for?

im waiting....haha

 

Don't know how to characterize what the bottom is made out of...It's thick and just makes a thump noise when you tap it.

The black definitely picks up fingerprints.

Battery came fully charged. This is the 9-cell.

I am turning it on now.

I will post size comparo to an e1505 shortly - bout an inch shorter in width and length but about the same thickness.

 

It is SUPER quiet. I can't hear any sound from it under ambient conditions. With my ear up to it it's barely a whisper.

 

nice, looking forward to reading what you have to say after you play.

i cant wait...well ill have to actually

 

Sorry about the blurry hurriedly taking pictures while I'm eating / getting my stuff together to get back to work lol.

 

Did it come with a media remote?

 

What specs?

 

and did you ordered the remote?

 

Don't care what anyone says I do LIKE the anti-glare screen. Very nice colors.

EDIT What is with the first image in a post not showing up???

 

Didn't know about the remote when I ordered, didn't get it.

 

how long does a 9 cell last on 14 inch?

 

Thats a nice red chair you have there.

 

I kind of want a 1420 now...

 

Nice pics ! I will call your boss and tell him that your sick and want be in this week

 

classic how you say....

and now you want one hehe. it may not have a better Videocard than the 1520, but its smaller, and nicer looking to me.

 

what a beautiful beautiful machine.

 

ditto i like the red chair! (to other readers, most of the generic laptop size/battery questions have been answered on the forum elsewhere LOOK for them). Now that i've gotten a decent look at the black color, Im super curious what its made of. its obviously not sheet plastic =\ ...yea i really have no idea what its made of? the only material i can think of that attract fingerprints is glossy stuff. i guess i'll have to wait to see. I wish the 1420 was just sliiiightly thinner - so fat

 

yay my 1420 shipped today at around 2:30cst!

 

Nice, looks great. Packaged much more nicely than the e1505 I purchased.

 

how do u all feel about the power on the left side like that? kinda wish it was in back, but im sure ill get used to it. maybe even like it more cause it wont dig into my leg when its on my lap. But i guess my MBP has it on the side, hasnt been a biggy.

man i want mine.

 

You saying the black picks up fingerprints scares me...maybe I should switch to the Microsatin Blue...

 

how much do you stare at the back of your laptop when your using it -_- unless you actually "oogle" at your laptop in between closing it and putting in your bag.

 

i must say, i love how the 1420 does not have those HIDEOUS media buttons on the front, instead it just has the headphone ports for easier connections, well played. i hate the media buttons of the 1520

 

im sure the black will be great! they are user replaceable anyways arent they? i mean, ebay will have them in 2 months.

 

The colors are NOT user replaceable...no...

 

Great pictures and thanks for posting. Mine is still in build stage. lol

Have you received your jet black cabernet sleeve? Pictures would be nice
of it as well.

 

received my 1420 today, been playing around with it making sure that everything is in perfect working condition, and let me tell you guys its a beauty, the screen is amazing even though I didn't go for the high resolution one, but the screen that I chose is bright, the fonts and icons are not to big at all, it pretty much fits the screen. No dead or stuck pixels, no graininess or light leakage. The keyboard is a dream to type on, I don't have to press to hard on them and it barely makes any noise. My wireless connection is superfast even on sites with alot of traffic, flash animation and graphics. The webcam is actually pretty cool once you mess around with the settings, it takes really good pictures. The casing doesnt pick up fingerprints at all, and it doesn't feel like it will be easy to scratch it up, the surface is like a rubbery material, and it is very easy to clean. One thing I am worried about though is the palm rest area, it looks as if it will start to fade after a while of good use like the old inspirons did. I included some pictures of my 1420 since its midnight blue and phobos512 ordered the black.

 

Sweet Bosco congrats!

What specs is your 1420? does it make any noise while under load?

Also if it's not too much of a hassle for you, can you please tell me what is the screen(LCD only) size? width/height?

Oh and btw, can you please open some page that we can all view? like say even this thread on your laptop and take a picture of it?

 

The blue is cool. Great pictures.

Did you have to adjust your router to get wireless connection?

 

Power and USB ports on the side was for me an ABSOLUTE requirement. After having spent many hours with my fiancée's e1505 and huge power plug sticking out the back digging into my leg on our couch (yes, we have 2 red couches, one big three cushion and then a 2 cushion love seat - Ashley brand, and discontinued - sorry folks) I wasn't going to deal with a power port on the back.

The finger prints on the black aren't too distinct but yeah, it will pick them up. I'm not sure what the other colors "feel" like but to me this has the kind of soft touch finish that I would expect from what people have said about the other colors (it feels very similar to the back of a Motorola KRZR if you've played with one of those ever).

I'm back at work now...

 

i'm curious about the lid/latching system. i realize that it doesn't have a latch, but is it similar to the one on the macs, ie. magnetic?

 

I have the Intel 4965 Wireless-N card on a Linksys WRT54GLv5 running some off the wall custom firmware that I cannot recall right now...I ran IE, said there was no network, clicked the connect now button, typed in my WPA2-PSK key, and I was off and running. Took all of 10 seconds.

(What's weird is I thought I had my SSID set to not broadcast...going to have to check that tonight)

I selected the "No Software" option wherever possible. I had a popup for Google Desktop when I started which I said disagree to and it automatically uninstalled. I also have McAfee Security Center trial which will go away when I get home. I left it downloading Windows Updates.
