Well, got my 700M today (actually got it a good week ago, but was shipped home and today I was finally able to come home from college.) Here is going to be my mini review, and I will post some pictures when I get my Sharp TM150 Megapixel phone sometime this week
.
Well here it is:
Dell 700M
1.8 Ghz dothan
512 RAM
40 gb Hitachi E7k60 HD
CDrw/Dvd
8 cell battery
Gap Laptop sleeve (
thanks govtcheez!)
Took out the 30gb HD after inspecting for dead pixels, and replaced it with the e7k60. Formatted and reinstalled Windows XP, all the drivers, some software, customized and imported some stuff, Firefox, Speedswitch etc.
Screen: This is beautiful. No dead pixels. In fact, I haven't heard of a single 700M with dead pixels yet, which is rather odd. But I'm very happy about it. Very crisp, clear. Black is dead black, its amazing really.
Keyboard: A little small, but will get used to it. Typing on it as we speak, and im typing faster than I usually type, most likely because the keys pop right back up.
Speed: This thing is FAST. With a 7200RPM HD in it, it blazes through everyday office tasks and it really can play some games! I've tried call of duty, CS, and BG2 and they all run great. I'm not putting my hopes into it running farcry or nething though!
And thats it for now, until I need to move it around or go back to school.
Coming up, Battery life, Mobility/Portability, SD slot, Wireless, and Pics!
And to confirm to those who have wondered whether it has a normal modular or not, it DOES! So if I ever felt a need to, I can pick up the NeC ND6500.
