aamsel: Since it seems that you were the only one to quote some spec figures, let me add to the confusion. Dell's specs for Inspirons stipulate the same brightness 150 cd/m2, viewing angles horizontal +/- 40 and vertical +10/-30...

Thanks for the link, sid21177. The specs for Clevo's M37EW look OK. Still, it remains to be seen how long it will take to reach the US market, and whether Sager will offer it at competitive prices. I hope they will, since competition...

As far as I know, partially stuck pixels may appear due to multiple causes, which are too esoteric to discuss here. Anyway, since this seems to be a good screen otherwise, my advice would be to keep it, since hopefully the two pixels...

sid21177: What you are saying is quite interesting, since it seemed so far that Dell offered the best cost to performance ratio for the WSXGA+/WUXGA Pentium M platform. So could you provide links for the specifications of this...

Frankly, I'm no longer sure what this discussion is about. I can't offer any specific advice to the OP, since I don't have any personal experience with using XPS/9100 for a longer time (i.e., I can't guess how hot it can get when left...

kdynamic: I can't promise you anything, but search the Dell General forum for info on how lucky some users got with ordering their I8600 with WSXGA+ or WUXGA, ATI 9600PT 128MB, Hitachi's 7K60 7200rpm, etc., employing a suitable...

Yes, assuming there are no variations in the motherboards and BIOS versions sold by the various vendors (most likely not, but it is impossible to tell whether Compal sells the same stuff to everybody).

I presume you used the I8FanGUI program to lower your temperatures. Apparently you had a heating issue severe enough to cause problems with the video output to the internal LCD. Anyway, glad to hear that your problem was solved!

somms is correct (as always). Although bad sectors might still occur even with the current technology, they are "hidden" by the HDD firmware (actually remapped from an initially reserved pool) from the OS and hence the user....

I mentioned the trackstick for completeness only. I used a trackstick with one of my notebooks during 1995-1996, and it was quite inconvenient. I don't recall precisely when the scrolling feature was introduced into touchpads, but I know...
