    Hey guys... My Inspiron 1520 arrived a week or two ago (early) but I wasn't able to get any pictures until recently. It sucks for a review, but if you're interested in the flamingo pink color: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz14EmjrzPM

    Not trying to advertise my YouTube. It sucks anyway. I just thought some of might want to see it from my noobish point of view. It's PRETTY!

    And y'all helped me decide on it too.

    Take care
    Marie

    Looks like I have a set-up almost exactly like yours minus the HDD and lid color. When you opened it up around 3:15 or so, was it on? I couldn't hear it at all.

    And you sure do like pink.

    Thanks all! I don't know if it was on or not. The picture is brilliant, but I cut out the part where I booted it up for yall. I sounded like a complete dork. But the display is brilliant (specially when I'm playing my games on max settings) and it boots up FAST! I luvs it.

    Do you hear any high pitched noise?
    Or any annoying sound using the earphones?
