Anyone who Ordered Inspiron 1520 in India

I have ordered mine on 28 June, estimated delivary date is 23 July. But the status is still in Ship from factory from 4 july....

just wondering why is taking such a long time in one stage...

Did anyone face the same problem???

 

Because the next dell shipment date is 20th July.. At least that's the date for my XPS system to arrive in Palam Airport.. . I've bugged dell no end about shipping, delivery, et al.

 

Actually it doesn't update the fields one at a time.. so it should ship within a couple of days.. if it hasn't already.. and my 1720 is stuck in bangalore customs since last tuesday

 

Ha...finally mine has cleared blr customs it seems.... And I was intimated that I can expect my system before this friday...

 

k.. where do u live man?

 

finally got my lappy today.....
i have opted for the dell guy to open the box for me ... for 950Rs... but these guy have delivered it today and the dell engineer did not turn up till 7 today.. so i opened the lappy myself... and this post is using my lappy

 

1.5 Ghz wid 8600GT

btw hows the performance

 

wats the problem with 1.5 ghz and 8600 gt?? i have ordered the same for myself and i checked out a review with the same config on this forum. it was working like anything... neways i placed my order on the 13th. supposed to get it by today... but i am not sure on this one.. i believe it will be delayed.

 

congrats
the 1505 was my first choice

 

I too really do not see how the processor clock speed alone will have a tremendous impact when playing games in Hi-Res or for HQ Photo-Editing..... There will be a difference but it will be very very negligible.... That too when you have 1 GB or more RAM it will hardly be noticeable except in Benchmarks.....

 

congrats buddy!!! me from india too and i am also thinking abt a vostro 1500. can u tell me how's the screen and color depth coz i have been reading a lot about the graininess of dell screens and the new inspirons supporting only 262k colors and not 16.7 million. What is the actual depth and viewing angles??

 

yeah and the upgrade to another 1gb ram fell to rs 3300 something... heheh

 

Yep last week beginning it was around 9800 INR bucks and now it is around 3100 bucks..... I was surprised too by this steep fall in the price....

 

It's still higher than aftermarket... Besides, 9800 wasn't sustainable. Not a single person was ordering 2 Gigs, afaik.

 

Do you mean to say that extra 1 GB ram module for 3000 bucks is still costly ?

 

u can buy it in any computer shop for Rs 1500 and install it urself.... but i think that would void the warranty....

 

dude nowhere u wud get 1 gb laptpo ram for 1500 Rs.... Transcend 1 gb module costs 2400 Rs and yeah i think Dell charging 3100 Rs is quite reasonable but u can say its far from being free (The offer that DEll USA is providing )

 

I suppose you are talking about Desktop PC's RAM and not laptop's....

This is the price I saw on Rediff.... And on ebay the lowest price I could get was Rs.3500 and nothing less than that.... I think you might have not checked the prices for 667 Mhz RAM....

 

Of all places rediff.com dont check out IT peripherals price on rediff ...Online retailing in India sucks its not like newegg.com or ebay of US.....Horrendously overpriced stuff out there.....check out the prices on the following sites....These are all reputed dealers

http://www.deltapage.com
http://www.theitdepot.com
http://www.theitwares.com

First two are located in Chennai and last one in mumbai....And they last two ship all over India

 

Ok sorry .. its Rs. 2250 at least in bangalore and if i was to get 1gb with the laptop the guys would buy the 512mb module and give me a 1 gb stick for Rs 1500 or so.

Nehru Place prices: Transcend 1GB- 1900, Corsair- 2050. Corsair low latency- 6300.
All online retailers in india are rip-offs...

 

Which still amounts to almost the same pricing on DELL.... Yeah thinking about it 1 GB RAM Upgrade costing 3100 bucks on DELL is a bit costly.... I enquired abt the prices in Bangalore and Coimbatore and got prices for Laptop RAM modules around Rs. 2300 bucks...

 

Hi Guys

Have you noticed the price difference in Inspiron 1520 in last couple of Days. I was able to build the below system for INR 59438 till yesterday but today the price went upto 64600+ INR.
2GB RAM is still INR 3112 but the Graphics Card price has been hiked and also the HDD
I was waiting for the price to come down so that I can order but looks like it ddint work so I ordered it today. I had a Quotation from 27th July and I talked to CS and they guy agreed to Quotation because it was valid for a month till 26th Aug

C2D 5250
2 GB RAM
15.4 1440 X 900 Trulife
1 Yr Complete Cover
DVD Drive
160 GB 5400 RPM HDD
Ruby Red Color (2 Week Delay)

Thanks

 

yeah, i noticed that. 160 gb hdd upgrade has gone upto approx 3300 , GPU price s trebled. 8600 gt is now for approx 7200 and 8400gs is for 4149. and yeah, no bluetooth with the 1520... except for the ram upgrade, i guess i made the right decision to buy at the right time..

 

yup. I've noticed the same too ...will they increase the prices of vostro too??? Luckily I already have a quote for the vostro1500 which is valid till 1-sep. Still not made up my mind yet. Kinda confused with whether to go for Vostro (66K) or Sony Vaio FZ15G (69K) or the HP dv6516TX (58K).
Any suggestions guys?

 

i am sorry to report an error.. i said in my previous port about the lack of bluetooth on the 1520.. its there where they have described the OS..
