    Spyder 3 Express is around $80 ..

    Any idea why the screens aren't better in-factory calibrated?

    Windows 7 have a utility called calibrate display color, I don't know how well it does because I have never use it. I think it would be hard to calibrate a screen without a hardware (how can the software know what color your screen is showing without seeing it?)

    Do we need to charge the battery for 8 hours before using it for the first time ?

    I don't think so, I didn't see that kind of instruction for a long time now, maybe modern gadgets got over that problem already.

    I have a question. when typing on the V13, I am not able to press hold of the button, for example to delete a word I have to press delete repeatedly, does anyone know how I can change the setting so I can hold the button. :confused:

    The reason the screen flashes when you plug in or remove the AC adapter is because the screens refresh rate changes from 60 when plugged in to 40 when on battery.

    Curious, as great as the Vostro V13 is, why aren't we seeing more reviews and buzz about it? When I was doing my research after CES, there really isn't anything that has the same value for the size, power and durability.
