It's been 6 weeks and this XPS M1210 kicks.  I mean, there is no hardware issue.  I hope that other XPS M1210 users are also enjoying this small with big attitude notebook.  I am enjoying it.  I frequently use multimedia card reader, bluetooth, camera and microphone.  XPS M1210 got those even though it is small (but powerful due to its processor).  I am enjoying the MediaDirect a lot.  Easy as 1-

Most of us are aware that the Dell computer is pre-installed with Dell PC Restore. The PC Restore is located in the hidden partition. If we want to go back to factory setting, we simply hit the Ctrl+F11. That is cool because we need not spend many hours to reinstall everything from scratch. Some Dell computer users do not like the PC Restore partition because they have their own reasons:A waste

See the screenshots below for list of programs installed in a new Dell XPS M1210. I noticed that I don't have trialware on it which is cool. All I have are those OEM ware that came with the hardware. Example: There is Logitech Quick Cam software because the notebook has built-in Logitech webcam and microphone. There is Roxio and Sonic software because it is bundled with the optical drive - DVD+/-

The XPS M1210 I received from Dell on July 24th has visible stain or discoloration. It appear in 2 areas. This notebook will be returned to Dell due to sound card issue but I noticed yesterday the visible stain in 2 areas (encircled area in the image below): That stain is caused by the rubbers in the monitor! How come? you might ask... it's because the built-in camera can become warm at times

Check https://www.dellbatteryprogram.com - that is another website by Dell. It's about the battery of Dell notebooks that provide important notice. As we all know, a battery can caused fire or flames or can explode. Even mobile phone's battery is using lithium batteries so it's a good idea to check that site to see if your battery is affected. Dell will of course send a replacement. While

I received today the new XPS M1210 as free replacement. The first XPS M1210 (received July 24th) has speaker and sound problem. Too soft sound, no sound in left speaker and the playback is scratchy at times and/or not playing back at all most of the time... what I've recorded. As soon as I received the new replacement notebook, I did the following:Create a backup using the simple guide in “Dell

Since I plan to keep M1210 as 1 of my companion, I thought to get it a partner and that is a 5.1 channel surround speaker. I found one today and it is ATECS. I don't know about ATECS and I'm not sure yet how it will play. Here's the set-up: That's a remote control of the speaker where it says I can swap from the 5.1 channel surround speakers to notebook speakers. I can't make it work yet

The XPS M1210's wireless card is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 abg. I installed the new version for it today. It's version 10.1.1.164 (software) and 10.1.1.7 (driver). This wifi works properly with my Linksys wireless compact router (the small one). I can print in my network printer from XPS M1210. The Dell Quickset and any other Dell software does not interfere or conflicts with the "printer

Search the Dell forums for keywords “Reformat” and you’ll find a lot of advice to “reformat a new Dell computer”. They have valid reasons to decide to reformat and one of it is to have a system that does not have bloatware which makes Windows boot-time slow. Manually uninstalling the unwanted applications and cleaning up the registry for remnants should do it but some advanced users prefer to

I will be receiving a new XPS M1210 from Dell as free replacement of my 11-day old XPS M1210 notebook. Dell Tech Support and Customer Rep confirmed the hardware issue on the sound card that I reported to them. I will be receiving it 8 days from now as per Dell's customer representative. I do not need to pay anything - no shipping fee, no tax. Returning the notebook (the 11-day old) is free too.

As I promised, writing again on whether I am a happy owner of Dell XPS M1210 / Inspiron 740M.It's been 10 days now since I received the notebook and I must say that I'm happy to have Dell XPS M1210. I'm one of the lucky to receive a AUO LCD display. It doesn't have light leakage and dead pixel. The keyboard has no flex. The Intel PRO wireless 3945 and my Linksys wireless compact router are

I want to talk about Sound and Speaker of XPS M1210 and I plan to record how XPS M1210 play a sound, a video or any media file but I feel embarass to record and publish one this time as there is no great sound coming out from it.When I received the M1210, there is audio in Windows but there is little sound if I play a movie or audio using the optical drive. There is no problem with the DVD, VCD,

In case you want to know how to we should manage and maintain the battery in laptop, we should read about it -- The Lithium Ion Battery. I advise to read the article not only it's worth to read but because it will help to prevent exploding notebook due to Lithium Ion Battery.It says:Summary of excerpts on using LiIons from Batteries in a Portable World:There is no memory and no scheduled cycling

I thought to write this and that on XPS M1210/Inspiron 740M. Starting first with its LCD display.Too bad there is no option for buyers too purchase XPS M1210 with non-truelife. The TrueLife in M1210 didn't bother me but I'm pretty sure that a non-truelife is better for some users who prefer no reflections. The LCD display that I received don't have dead pixel, no light leakage. It is made by AUO

OK I got a new notebook. Dell advertise the notebook as "Small with Big Attitude" and I have to agree! The Dell XPS M1210 is a small notebook -- 12.1" LCD display only but it is packed with features and functions that one can find in a much wider and bigger notebook. I decided to pull the trigger on July 17th. Dell shipped the notebook using DHL ground service on July 20 then the notebook arrived
