Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

this thread is generating a lot of traffic though.. it is in their best interest (sponsers) to keep it open.

 

Yes... second that, thanks for the forum!

 

true, anyway hows everyones orders doing
so far dont we have:
1 fake delivery,
3 in the post
millions in build
and a couple stuck in pre-production for 2 weeks!

 

yeah i think that about sums it up...unfortunatly

 

Very true, ace forum though.. what would we have done without it! - I`ll still be on here checking up when mine arrives

 

just an FYI on thread stats:

we are about to overtake the sticky on number of views lol.

 

Can the mods or staff make it so that more post show up on a page ? reloading the page I get 3 new pages of post. Grrrr

 

oh no doubt.... i'm sure everyone will have a question or two about something. Convert it over to a Q&A FAQ thread.

 

yep we are still waiting... this thread must enter Guinness World Records for the longest thread in the world

 

Go to your Control Panel, you can set the number of posts per page.

 

you can change it to 50 i think in your control panel.

 

Nowhere near the Random thread, 27,355 posts, 228,894 views

I'm surprised that thread hasn't made the forums come crashing down...

 

hehe, whenever i want to visit this thread again i go to google lol, i cant find where its located on the site, is it ion the dell section?

 

I wouldn't be surprised.

 

You could set it to show more than the default amount of posts per page, ie. 10 posts per page for default.

Simply go to your User CP: http://forum.notebookreview.com/usercp.php

Then click on Edit Options, scroll down to Number of Posts to Show Per Page and set it to your pleasure. I set mine to 30 page per post.

 

You know that you can subscribe to the thread in thread tools that will give you a direct link to it in you CP.

 

that's cool NBR did a good job i think the hosting server is dell as m1330 and it's s1330

 

Well, while we wait.... check out this sweet 13.3 laptop backpack I scored from STM.

EASILY the best laptop case I have ever bought.

Yeah, usually the thread gets split at about 50 pages...

 

Found a new review, yet to read it (watch out for the read full review link)

wow this bag is used for troops and fighting with m1330 ya good

 

Arghhh... order status remains the same. I'm going to stop checking until Friday. Once Friday strolls around, I'll decide whether or not to cancel.

 

at least you can check your status somehow...i still cant get through on the hotline

 

Wondering about the finger scanner:
Can it be used to log into windows or is it purely a password manager for the internet. If so woulod it work with applications like e-mail and the internet passwords, usernames etc?
Anyone got any info on that or do we have to wait and see?

 

It can be used to log into Windows... and your computer (basically the BIOS has a fingerprint password mech).

... or so I hear.

 

you can use it for any password....just dont slice off whatever finger you used in a freak accident and you should be fine

 

This review is almost a month old.

 

i would of gotten the finger reader if it could be used to protect the bios..because then if someone DID steal it..they couldnt just reload vista

 

me either - my order status is not available. I talked to my rep and he siad it was still there and gave me a sooner ESD than the one on Friday.

 

I got the fingerprint reader because I thought it would be cool to have, plus may make Windows and Password accessing easier than trying to remember them all.

 

how much earlier was it?

 

well the day i ordered (7/15), the ESD was 8/15, but by the time my student discount had gone through (15 min) the ESD was 8/31. The next day it was 9/6. Since Tuesday (8/17) it has been 9/20. Today the rep said 9/6, again.

 

Cheers, solved my question

 

i ordered mine a day after yours, and i went through my school too....my esd has been sept. 5th....i hope mine comes in mid august

 

oh dear, it was a new entry when i googled xps m1330 thats all!

 

Yeah me too! Orientation is 8/22.

 

ooo a fish eh? haha well..im assuming..you could have transfered...but its all good...where you going?

 

No fish - orientation for law school.

 

what about resetting the BIOS i like this feature cuz it protects your document on windows and protect the hard drive not the bios passprint.

 

Here is a good read from a Dell rep back on the 20th of this month.

http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/07/20/21613.aspx

 

Would it be possible then, to make it protect the bios?

 

If you want to circumvent a "protection" will eventually succeed.
I ordered with fingerprint reader, just... i dunno.
It was 30euro or so and looked like fun, so to hell with it

Probably i find a good use for it (for example i ALWAYS mess up the different stages for password entry with my bank etc).

 

i think but not sure

 

ooo haha nice

 

Cloudhopper: Any luck with your free printer you were blagging? lol

 

Thanks for the link. I am glad they are "working through details in real time" and not fake time.

 

Every few days I check Direct2Dell and type in M1330 to see if there is any progress.

 

Dell blog is a waist of everybodys time

 

I disagree. Why would they post information on the web that can be used against them at any time?

 

I wonder if the universe will implode upon 3000 posts...

..hmmm
