What are you using your xps 1340 for?

Just kind of curious what people are using their xps 1340's for.
video editing, photo shop? just surfing the web, movies?
Anything specific that you find this laptop good for?
Feel free to share..

 

Errm, general computing needs?

Surfing the web, some image-editing (more GIMP than Photoshop), movies, scripting, etc.

 

1080p HDMI out on my HD tv, playing games with low requirements, web surfing, and continuing my plan to RULE THE WORLD!!!

 

Oh yes, I forgot that one. World domination seems like quite the popular choice these days .

 

To keep myself busy in those boring classes

 

School and on-the-go photo editing. Shot 9000 photos at Petit Le Mans two weekends ago and the 1340 made quick work of sorting/tagging/editing them.

 

Virtualization, hence the need for 8GB of RAM. I run several VMs at once. After that, I watch videos that I rip from Blu-rays on another systems and do some gaming.

 

I go on multiple tube sites to watch short clips

 

looking at ... in the bathroom....

man, i'm married! with a kid! where else can i do this?

 

ROFL thats a funny one

 

what games do you play? I always wanted to know the list of games that would play well on xps 13.... like team fortress 2 plays on high settings

 

Some lighter gaming, school work, and I use it a ton at work, the 13'' makes it easy to carry around with you. Also the occasional tv show / movie, need to say I was worried about getting a dell, but I have been nothing but happy with this laptop

 

Yeah TF2 plays great, I play BF2 and a mod for it Project Reality and fairly high settings and it runs smoothly. MMO's work well on it, WoW, Aion, etc... I've played company of heros on it, and where it is playable, only at lower settings sadly... (this is with the 9400 card)

 

yea thats what i got too the 9400 card (best buy model) thanx for the game titles

 

Strangely, no one mentionned that they used theirs to surf pr0n or something Very creative answers in this thread

 

I love to play fifa on it 2010
And normal things

 

lol thanks god idont

 

I bought my xps from bestbuy too and its written it have no bluetooth so i bought usb one small one about $20

after installing the usb i got some errors and bluetooth turn on and off by itself

so i removed the usb and uninstall its driver

after two days while im looking in start menu i found bluetooth icon still there so iclicked it
and guess what i have bluetooth in my pc and working gr8

Lol

Why they write it have no bluetooth

 

Lol what are you serious? I mean I tried download bluetoth drivers from dell just to see but it never worked. Maybe u just got lucky, you know dell rarely makes mistakes and puts different hardware inside. like xps16 owners who ordered regular low end resolution received 1080p resolution lol....
Can you just check by removing the bottom panel? you'll see how many cards you have there. one is wifi and if you have bluetooth youll see another on also

 

school. i play dota cuz it runs it well but cod4 my main shooter is too choppy. thats it , no photos or video editing or anything. even at 5 pounds it still heavy.

 

without removing it im sure i have it
i send and receive files to my phone , my vista crushed before and i contacted support they install every thing and bluetooth too
and its working just fine

Opss may they mistaken but why not try may be you can find it too

 

Is there a way that you think would work without having to open the bottom panel? Its just I have opened it so many times that my screws are starting to loose thread. do u have the same setup as me? 500gb 7200rpm 2.4ghz 4gb ram 9400mg ?

 

nope i have the old one thats come with 320Gb hd

your one is the newest group

 

just checked isntalled sp1 update from dell for wireless adapters and then the bluetooth program, I dont have it
You lucky Bas***d lol

that lil cloth pocket? dont waste your money on that. However your system should of came with it. I mean I bought mine from BB and it came with it.
So if you dont have it dont worry its useless!
If it was a thin leather case that would of been great

 

yes ilove it my pc come with one but i lost it i use it to put my pc in while not used to keep it clean from dust and such things

 

Use mine pretty exclusively for school. At school I don't use it much, occasional thing just to kill time between classes. I use it to work away from my desktop where I'm far too distracted to type papers most of the time.

It does run Aion and WoW just fine, as long as you don't crank the settings up. (had to try them out on the laptop )

 

I use mine as a main computer. Web surfing, movies, music, some light game play like Team Fortress 2.
