My Vostro 1400 Came

OMFG my vostro 1400 just came lol and i am just very excited and happy just wanted to share the happiness with all of you peoples ^^ and just wondering what to check for so if there are problems i can send it back to dell and give them a reason ^^ TYVM

 

Check the screen, check the keyboard. And...that should be it/

 

I feel your excitement. Mine has shipped and is arriving tomorrow. And now for my dilemma; my wife has a maternity checkup tomorrow morning. So, do I go support her with our upcoming child and miss the delivery I've been waiting so anxiously for (the PC, not the baby. It doesn't come for a couple months), or wait here for DHL? What to do, what to do.

 

ok thanks i just checked it and it is very nice no grains but just a bit of leakage on the bottom which isnt a problem for me....theres no flex in the keyboard which is nice lol....1 problem is the loose battery -__- even though it isnt shaking that much i still don't like it moving around w/e i love my laptop thanks waveblade .......one more thing it takes forever to load things what is wrong???

 

had to return my 1420 ... 2gig ram 120 hd, high resolution true life screen

it was a auo screen .. terrible screen ... it had silver spots ... not very bright
and the white was not white. Also watching movies because of the grain
the pictures was not sharp. Text was fine.

I liked the laptop but could not live with a substandard screen.

 

that doesnt sound so good well did u get another one instead???

 

dell offered to let me keep the laptop and knock 200 bucks off .. or send me
a new one..or have tech support have a look at the screen.

My 5 year old dell lcd was much better than the new one... the coating
on the truelife looks like it has tiny specs of metal. I really wanted to keep
it .. think I'll check the toshiba u300 or hp's.

I asked if I could get a credit for the 1330 but they said it was a month and
a half wait.

 

i just received my vostro 1400 as well, how long is your boot up? mine takes 2mins, and i have been reading that a normal boot up should be 30-40 seconds, btw my hd is 5400 rpm. and one more thing, how much bloatware did yours come with? i have 120gb total, but when i received it it has 97 gb left

 

I feel your pain there, torn between two great things. Id say your best bet is to get the tracking info from dell for DHL and see at what time is is expected to arrive hopefully you can do both.

 

23GB sounds like a lot, there are Threads in the "newbie questions and what not forum" about cleaning up your lap top, getting rid of the bloatware and decreasing boot times.

 

congrats I know how you feel
