Unpacking pics of Studio 15!!

Well well well, here I am enjoying my new baby...I'll write later some thoughts about it!

Have a nice day!

 

looks nice, i really like the colour!

 

That's a nice rig. One thing you are really going to like is the touchpad.
It has just the right amount of texture, so you finger doesn't stick on it.
I checked out the new Hp dv5t and it has a polished, chrome-like touch-
pad. It looks very cool, but the smooth surface is terrible.

Yeah, a couple of friends have HP's, and it really is uncomfortable with this polished surface, this one is rugged, smooth, great!
BTW, the WLED screen is really bright!! I had to turn it a lil bit down, because it was too white, but great....
The fingerprint reader works like a charm, I logon Windows everytime, I don't have to double-swipe my finger....

 

Nice.

Nothing like opening the box on your new laptop!

 

Agreed, the new touchpad on the HP's is not a good one. When I was messing around with it at bestbuy, my fingers wouldn't slide too easily accross the touchpad of the new HP's and it would almost stick to it.

 

I really liked the touchpad on my Vostro, so it is, that I'm still browsing around from it.... Tomorrow I'll give it to the buyer ...
I'll miss it too, hey BTW, I installed the Vista x64, it's humming really good, that's why I'm on the Vostro, the Studio is installing everything, it's really stable and fast. When I turned it on, it had 32-bit Vista, and it was like slow, and unstable... I'll give a rep, when I'm done installing everything...
Thanks for the comments!

 

If you get the time can you post pics of your laptop while it is on? The desktop?

 

Will do chief!

 

Thanks a lot. Beautiful, high-def pics. I'm happy I re-ordered and chose orange this time. Looks like a great laptop.


You like it so far?

 

Fun little thing I noticed on mine... The whole contour of the screen is a rubbery material. Probably makes it easier for them to install the different colour accents they have and also in wont scratch as easily as hard plastic on that area.

 

oh wow you got the vostro 1500 too! how'd you like it compared to the Studio?

 

Hey; I just noticed that you grabbed the fully updated processor as well. I was just wondering if you could run some tests on it; maybe tell us what the battery life is like. IDK if you're a gamer, but if you are, I"d like to hear some info on this model's gaming abilities.

 

Ah! You shoulda tested the lighted keyboard on the vostro!

 

Ok, here are some thoughts about everything.
- I'm kind of annoyed because the flexed keyboard anytime I write something it goes down...
- The color is great, and the rubbery material is really great, it stays clean.
- I was programming yesterday in Java, and I was also in bed, so I "tested" the battery life, fully charged, It'll give you something like 2:50 working in Power Saving.
- I'll run some tests like SuperPI, and HD Tune, I'm also running a 64-bit Version of Vista.

What do you guys think about Home Premium, should I install the Business Version better? I have both licenses, and I want to know which one is better, I had Vista Business x64 on the Vostro, and it ran like a charm!
Any other questions please, I'm please to answer them, and please excuse my errors, I'm no native English-speaker!

PS: Could you help me to adjust the keyboard, so that it doesn't flex like this? I'll try to post a video later....

 

I think the keyboard flex depends on the manufacturer. The keyboard on my 1520 tends to flex a little - but there isn't a manufacturer sticker. Both 1420s I have had came with NMB keyboards and there is zero flex on them and they are of much better build quality.

 

Nice pictures..thanks for sharing...and love, love that color

Congrat's on your S15

I really like that color its sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Well another pics...
I'll do the tests in the morning, I'm a bit tired now...

This is with brightness at the lowest setting:


Beautiful keyboard:

Awh I want a backlit keyboard

 

I'd pull mine off, and look if I can "tighten" it, but I'm not that sure about it... I opened the back and I looked and looked, but didn't want to go any further!
I was afraid to break something...
BTW I had the Vostro 1500, and I must say I really like to have changed to the S15, it's not that heavy, not as bulky, and I love the orange color, the fingerprint reader, and the backlit keyboard, I'm now in bed and the keyboard just rocks!

 

So I ran some tests...

 

Those are odd results; the Studio 15 review ran by NotebookReview (with the base model) had better SuperPi results. Hmm.

 

That Tangerine color looks so nice...making me wish I got that instead of black!

 

I did today some adjustments on the keyboard, I pulled it out and noticed there's a rubber pad (like those under the laptop), to hold a bit the flexing, I put another one and a guitar pick next to these thingys. Some get-around, but the keyboard doesn't flex that much.
Any thoughts? Do you guys think it's a bad idea to leave a guitar pick under the keyboard?
Thanks for any replies...

 

That's a sweet color. Hope you and it have a long, happy life together.

 

thanks!
