I'm not sure if it does or not -- I one of those "format and reload" the second I take it out of the box. FYI, I ordered mine on January 15th, with a ship date of January 24th. I got it on January 19th (the same week),...

Background I purchased a Dell Inspiron 700M two years ago. Aside from the horrid integrated Intel 855 graphics, the machine was solid. It was lightweight, very portable, good battery life, and overall solid. The main reasons for...

OK, initial impressions are good. I received the machine last Friday afternoon, and finally got some time to sit with it for awhile yesterday. First things first, format and re-install. Had to create a floppy disk with the...

You may want to do a search on Microphone/line in problems with the 700M (both on this web site and on the internet). I don't think there is a 700M out there with a working mic/line in port. Dell has apparently refused to do anything...

I use the Kensington Contour Slim... I love the case, it doesn't kill your back. It's not very big (not like normal cases) and has tons of room for accessories, etc. The 700m fits perfect and snug. I had the regular Kensington...

OK, so I took the plunge and undervolted too. Running about 48C at idle and 68C peak. I wish it were supported by Intel (like a speedstep settings or BIOS settings thing). I realize they need to overclock for quality assurance, but...

Hi guys, I don't really have any tips and hints -- the service manual for the 700m does a much better job at explaining how to remove the system board than I could ever do. In any case, I will say it's not as difficult as it...
