Does the production pace pretty much pick up once it gets to Kitting? For those of you who have ordered laptops from Dell before, how soon after Kitting could you expect to have your order shipped?

 

Well, since were doing orders

Oh, I just want it to get to kitting so I know it's being built. I know nothing about speed

 

u should of got the 7200 rpm hd! thats gonna suck for you

 

I'd rather have space over speed for the price. Plus I'll upgrade later if it does indeed suck.

Also, the 100gig 5400 still has an 8meg buffer, so it should be alright

 

its not gonna suck, its gonna be SLOWer! your going to kick yourself!

 

Slower at loading only. Not an issue in my eyes, plus I'll get better battery life, which I'll need.

Like I said, if I do end up hating it (can't see that as my other laptop has a 5400 and aside from the processor, that one is fine), I'll get one off NewEgg.

 

yes i'm past kitting, now i'm in the building phase!

 

When did you order?

 

i ordered on 6/2/06

 

Oh, ok, I ordered on 6/5, guess I have a few till kitting

 

I ordered on the morning of May 31 (Wednesday). It got into Production and was in first 3 stages of production (Kitting, Build, Testing) for about 2 days. The Kitting took about a day, the Build was really fast, and then it stuck on Testing for about a day. It was in boxing by Saturday morning, and it just changed to shipped this morning (Wednesday, June 7). I would say the first 3 steps take about 2-3 days, and Boxing takes about 3 days. Could depend on the parts because I didn't order the AV package.

 

yeah, no A/V for me either, which looks like a popular feature.

 

Does the 1210 have gigabit ethernet? I can't find anything on Dell's worthless site that has the specs.

 

it should, most new systems have gb ethernet

 

Go to service, look up the owners manual, and check the Tech Specs on everything. I have it on my desktop at home, but I am at work or else I'd just give it a glance for ya.

JUST UPDATED
WOO-HOO!!!!

 

Nope...sorry, but no gigabit on the 1210 or any of the Inspirons for that matter. I think in may be offered on a few of the Latitude & Precision series though.

 

well I got mine. its sexy

 

Getting mine today Can't wait till works over!

 

How is the build quality compared to your dv5000t?

 

WOW im impressed, 3dmark score 4395!!!!!!!!!!!

calc pi 2M @1min 39sec

 

what 3dmark? 3dmark2005 0r 2006 ?

 

The 1710 DOES have Gigabit ethernet, though. I wasn't sure if you were grouping the XPS series in with the Inspirons.

 

3dmark05 it looks like

 

is the 12" screen too small for you? Is 12" too small for everyday use of the laptop?

 

I have to say, posting from a 1210, that the screen is perfect for me.

Good brightness, no bleed, crisp edges, I love this screen!

 

can anyone with the m1210 post some pictures (maybe running a program/playing a game. the outside, etc etc)

 

I'll try to get a photo set for you tonight. Off work at 5, so sometime after that!

 

hi guys,
i have to decide between the sony sz2 and the dell m1210...
how is the dell one in terms of weight ? would u say easily portable ?
the dell seems cheaper value than the sony...

my only problem is the bulkiness and problem is that i cannot actually see one of them in my hands before i buy....hope u can advise me..
thanks

 

its 3dmark03....

go with the dell over the sony. I have owned the following:
Sony TX, Dell 700m, HP DV5000t and now this.. Its the best hands down

 

wow I ordered mine on the 15th and they shipped it out today (19th) guess I lucked out. is this unusually early?

 

Only took mine a few days to ship too. Ordered on the 5th, got to my door on the 13th. And that was with the free shipping.
