Completely normal. Batteries have only a limited lifespan before their capacity begins to deteriorate. Usually it is noticeable after about a year or so with regular use... so I would say you have done well to get 4 years out of it! You...

Please do not revive such old threads. There is limited applicability of this thread now. If you want to talk about the older models, go to the Dell Pentium 1/2/3/4/m board here. Stu

No. Chipset is different between those with onboard and those with dedicated graphics chips. Those with integrated cannot be modified with a dedicated GPU. Stu

No. i8600 is compatible with the 'Banias' and 'Dothan' Pentium-M processors (part of original Centrino platform). They are not compatible with the older Mobile Pentium 4-M processors. That procesor however would work in an...

You can get a DVI-to-HDMI cable (I use one to connect my PC to my HDTV). They are relatively inexpensive and the picture quality is awesome. VGA output is actually analog, whereas the DVI output is digital. That being said, if the VGA...

If you can find one... fairly easy to replace. For example, red one here: http://www.parts-people.com/index.ph...43&prevstart=0 You may have to go through Dell though... Stu

Yes, you should. The terms of the warrenty are that it is replaced with equal or better... so that means if you had a dedicated graphics card you should get one in the replacement (although you would probably get the weakest one... it...

Yep, we know approximately when they are due... just we have not been privvy to much except some leaked pictures, etc... not much about what is under the hood, ports, etc. Stu

Cool. In that case, like I mentioned, it is likely that if a replacement is needed you would get a base model 1520 or 1720... the specs on the i9100 you had don't match up to much more than that. Stu

Is it still within the warrenty? If so, if it is repairable they will attempt that first, don't count on a replacement already. If it is not repairable, you will likely get a base model 1720 or 1520 if they do decide to replace it...
