Do you plan on writing a review of the e1505?

 

i dont know..i might
Here is a picture of the laptop and my custom built AMD desktop:


About the bloatware, From what im seeing in add/remove there are only about 8-10 things you need to uninstall like AOL

6 CELL BATTERY GETS ATLEAST 5 HOURS LIFE!

 

from what I heard, 6 cel battery only lasts about 3.5 hrs on E1505. My 9 Cel battery could barely last over 4 hrs (many claim it lasts 4.5 hrs).

 

When i first turn on my laptop, it had 97% battery with 4 hours and 45 mintues left. Here are 2 new pictures:
Going under the kinfe:

operation complete:

 

The M$ battery gauge is not completely accurate...I get between 4 and 4.5 hours out of my 9 cell...If in fact you get 5 hours out of a six cell...I would be amazed.

Nice laptop, btw..I have a 1505 myself.

 

I still need to post mine lol.. Cept mine will include PSP and DS along with it hehe..

I did get the quicksnap cover on mine tho. The Med Blue.. Looks really nice. =) Gives some color to the laptop which it REALLY needs.

 

Does the quicksnap cover the white bumpers?

 

No the quicksnap is JUST for the top of the LCD monitor, however.. its looks really nice and provides a extra shell to protect the top of your lcd screen with.

 

Have fun dude.

I am living in NYC too and I hate those UPS guys, they usually wait like till 7 pm to deliver. DHL is the best, they deliver at around 11 am.

How did you get the CDs with the notebook? Did you select Re-Installation CD option when you were the E1505? Or ordered later? My E1705 didn't come with any CDs.

lng

 

I ordered them when i order my laptop

 

I've been restarting, shutting down, turning on my laptop and installing programs and i still have a 1 hour and 30 mintues left

 

Congrats on your purcahse!

I have a new toy on the way as well

 

I got mine on the 15th.. still not done with it..

I have alot of tweaks, setups, apps to install, games to install, patch etc.. I mean I am quick and all.. but setting up a battle station isnt that quick.. or painless... =(

Stayed up many nights to 3am working everything and checking everything.. least once its done however.. it will be self sufficiant and wont need any more work for quite sometime unless a program I use needs a real update.

 

It goes quicker for me, becuase while my laptop was on it's way..I grouped all my install files and programs i need onto a folder on my desktop hard drive. Then when my lapto came, i just map my network drive

 

I hope you did a reformat


Please, say you did...

 

I was going to..but after it did not had crazy bloatware installed..just a few programs i had to uninstall

 

Well, there is still registry keys on your system

If you do a reformat, you will notice a huge speed increase

 

Probably a placebo affect. How much damage can a few registry keys do on a 2ghz computer with a Gig of ram?

To the poster:
The E1505 looks kinda big to me. Do you see yousrelf lugging it around or should I go with an E1405 for more portability?

 

Trust me, there is a big different.

 

I have a SYNERGY from SwissGear by Wenger Computer Backpack to carry the computer in

And on sunday i am going to format the hard drive and to get rid of media direct since i dont need it

 

Im doing it right now!!....And i noticed that on the xp format screen thing there was like 4 partiations!.and in windows my 60gb drive was only showing 45gb. Now with a freshly formated drive, it should show 55-60gb

 

I can't believe you took a picture of the UPS truck...

 

LOL...good point

I will too of my M1710, so i cant blame him

 

I left my laptop on while for 5 hours since i forgot about the xp reinstall and it is NOT HOT and just barely WARM

 

hehe.. nice pic of the ups truck!
i ordered mine on may 22 and estimated delivery is June 2nd..
any chance of getting it earlier?!?!?!
can't wait.. i got the T2500,1Gb RAM, X1400, 100GB HD and a mediterranean blue quicksnap.
it'll be shipped directly to my work!
i should have it all configured by end of business day!

 

crap.. it's still in production..

 

Hey shof515, is your E1505 one with a matte screen, cause it doensn't seem to reflect the keyboard very much. Also, , whcicever type of screen it is, can you pl. tell me about the screen quality, am torn between a glossy and matte scren for the e1505.

 

We use Dell desktop PCs in my office at work and they have TFT monitors with matte screens, my screen faces a window and I don't have any problems with glare, so I stayed with matte on my 6400/E1505, also I didn't want to add any more to the cost of my order. I'm happy with matte and it performs fine for my needs.

 

Thanks. Even I use a matte LCD but I wondered if teh contrast would be less in a notebook since it will not always be plugged in to the mains. If the matte screen on the e1505 provides the same quality as the full sized LCD, i may be tempted to go for it. Matte then seems bright enough for me, even for DVD's or gaming.

 

If your in a highly "sunlit" area, next to window or outdoors etc. Then Matte would be more ideal.

If your like me who rather play in darker rooms, sunlight out. Nighttime useage, The glossy wins fully. My screen does look richer then a matte.

 

OMG@ You stalking the UPS truck!!

I did that myself once. LOL It was when I ordered my I-mate SP5 smartphone.

 

if you reformat will you get rid of everything on the computer except XP?
when should we reformat?

 

I usually use the computer for 1-2 days to make sure it works well.. then do a format and clean install.
