Anyone pick up the new Vostro 1320?

yeah taht's dissapointing, i also have the 1510, and i'll see if i have that problem as well, but i'm pretty sure you won't need hte a band for too much stuff.

 

Hey Iggiepop,

Sorry for the late reply, but at the moment, I am not experiencing any skipping/stuttering with my sound card and I did not disable the A-band. However, please note that I am running Windows XP as opposed to Vista.

But since we are on the topic of wireless device, I am however experiencing lower signal with this laptop. With any other laptop at home (1 dell inspiron 17inch, 1 macbook, 1 netbook); I am getting "Excellent" as opposed to "Good/Very Good" on this laptop. I have yet to play with my wireless settings.

Finally, as a confirmation to my Team Fortress 2 framerates. Leaving the settings to the auto-detect recommended settings (High) and changing the res to 800x600; I am getting 25-60 fps after 1 1/2 hours of gameplay. for people that know the game, I played on pl_goldrush and pl_badwater on 32 people servers.

Cheers,

 

anybody else also planning to put on windows 7 rc onto the vostro 1320? i'm pretty sure it'll run better than vista.

 

Mine is coming with Vista Business and the Windows XP download. I will use XP and then see the reviews on Windows 7 and upgrade to that later. Too bad they are not including a free upgrade to Windows 7 when we buy.

 

got mine 30 mins ago from the purolator guy. , just the very basic config for 450 canadian$ i got 3 GB RAM, GM45/ICH9-M and Core 2 Duo P8600, can;t go wrong with this pure bargains.

the battery is marked 48Wh (5 cell? ) and only 1 speaker

downloading the Windows 7 right now, gonna play with it

 

niceee mgz tell me what it's like, and i should be getting mine soon from the purolater guy too, though i live all the way in vancouver which probably means i'll get it tom. ahha, and it should be 2 speakers and a 6 cell....

 

Nope, unfortunately the 1320 only has one speaker (right on the front of the laptop near the power/battery LED.

It says two speakers on the spec sheet on the website but that's not the case.

 

windows 7 auto-detected everything (graphic card, NIC, wireless, audio, etc) but from the windows update they have some update driver for Windows 7.

5.8/5.8/3.7/4.9/5.3 is my 1st Windows experience index mark and after updated the WDDM 1.1 update from Windows Update my graphics mark decrease to 3.5

can;t scroll with the touchpad anymore in Windows 7 tho :'(

 

oh wow only one speaker...i guess i'll hafta go with the earphones all the time, but i'll load up windows 7 most likely, and hte graphic thing doesnt' really worry me too much, because i don't see too many people buying this notebook in hopes of great graphics/gaming.

 

Wow, I was really excited that the 1320 actually came with 2 speakers. Thats kind of lame; the website clearly states that the computer has 2 speakers. Oh well.
