Anybody Got A E1405/640M yet?

I'm wanting to get one of these and wanted to know any feedback/reviews on the unit. Anybody got one in real life yet to give any indication of problems etc with this unit?

 

I don't think so... it was released a week ago so...

 

Mine is supposed to be delivered tommorow, was going to come today but was "rescheduled" by UPS

 

that's fast!

can't wait

 

Can someone explain the advantage of the 1405 over the 1505?

 

Smaller... longer battery life

 

Mine is due for arrival tomorrow... I will post some pics and a personal review when it gets here

 

How did you guys get yours so fast? I ordered my wife's on May 2, mid-afternoon Eastern. As of right now, it is still in the boxing phase, and has been there for a couple of days now.

 

That's because it's being shipped from Malaysia. "Boxing" is Dell's code word for "your PC was manufactured about7 or 8 time zones away from you".

 

UPS attempted to deliver mine today, so I guess I would have been the first with one, but I was out of state for a work related conference, they are reattempting delivery tomorrow and I will be here as long as I can to get it LOL... I will be comparing it with its older Insipron 630m (XPS M140) brethren.

 

Funny you should mention the XPS M140 because on the Dell website the E1405 links in the middle of the page reads "See all XPS E1405 Tech Specs." I wonder if this was a typo or if Dell plans to use this model as an XPS M140 replacement also.

thats is intersting, however i dont think that with an integrated gpu that they will make it a xps line notebook

 

Fantastic. Looks like we may have some reviews by tomorrow! I can't wait!

 

Mine's still in production today

Hurry up !

 

Since when did that matter? The XPS M140 had the integrated Intel GMA 900 (I think as the ONLY choice). I always thought that given the "high-endness" of the XPS line, that the M140 didn't really qualify. It really was more like a 14" version of the i6000. Nothing in it was truly "bleeding edge" or top-of-the-line, unlike it's 17" brethren.

 

That is why Dell the successor of the XPS M140 (the Inspiron E1405) where it belongs, in the "Entertainment" line of their notebook lineup LOL.

 

Come on!
Let´s get some pics and first hand thoughts!
/Erik, who can´t decide if he wants a 640m or a D620..

 

Anybody got theirs yet?!!! HURRY UP DELL!

 

still waiting for mine as we speak.

 

Got my E1405 at 1:40pm 5/10/06, couldn't stay on it too long, it has an AUO1272 screen, it's glossy with some sparkle.

 

Yipee!!! REVIEW AND PICS, REVIEW AND PICS, REVIEW AND PICS!!!

 

I'll have mine before the end of the day hopefully.

 

Enjoy... and give us your first impressions pls

 

Once I get it I'll make a thread where you can post questions about it and I'll answer them, as opposed to writing a review which would take awhile.

I'll reformat on Friday it will be in it's "out of the box" state for a day or two.

 

To late, it´s going to be a D620 for me

 

Oh yeah, my review and comparison to the 630m will be up by tonight... I only got a chance to be on the E1405 for a few minutes, but the screen is once again a matte screen with gloss smacked on it, it had light leakage, 2 dark spots toward the bottom of the screen (typical Dell it seems), but on the flip side the colors seem very vivid unlike the Samsung.

When I do my comparison tonight I am going to disable the Adobe Gamma I have been using on the Samsung screen so you can get an out of the box look at the 2 screens.

 

Mine was waiting for me when I got home yesterday. Unfortunately, I was tied up all evening and only got to boot it up and take a quick look. It screams compared to my 2-year-old Inspiron 9100!

More to come as I get a chance to really look at it tonight.

 

I am ready to order a e1405, and noticed that some of you have found a shipping discount coupon code. Any one mind shairing where you found it?

I am looking to upgrade from an Inspiron 1100 to use for music, pictures, and internet. I travel every week for work, so size is a big factor. For those who know, how does this system look?

I have mine (see my thread where I'm giving my impressions)

 

For how long was it in production?

Mine is in production since Monday... and I'm supposed to receive it on May 16th... I wonder how they'll manage to take it from Malaysia to USA and then from USA to Canada in just 3 days lol
