4GB is max...someone here ordered his with 4GB.

Oh great! That about takes care of everything I could want in it then...now to sell off my monster so i can get one

When you get around to it..can you take a screen shot of you gaming with something?

Oh... then can anyone here verify whether The Sims 2 is playable on this machine? I mean like optimumly [my current one sucks, no graphic card, celeron m, 256 ram, everything from yesteryear] Cuz I really liked the game and wish to buy a laptop [I travelled alot] just to play the game...

To my badluck, while visiting Dubai in April 2007, I purchased a brand new packed DELL XPS 1210 at a high premium price! but in about a year's time, my NoteBook has absolutely stopped functioning.

The problems are:
- Battery is completely dead (It does not charge and the computer has been running on AC power since last three months)
- The Screen had developed two lines since 3 months of purchase of NoteBook
- Now the Screen is totally blanked out (BLACK) and NoteBook was being only running on an external LCD.
- However since two (2) weeks, even this has stopped working
- And I have got blue screen with message “HARDWARE MEMORY ERROR”, contact manufacturer.

I am unable to access my very valueable office and private data. This DELL NOTEBOOK has become completely OUT OF ORDER in about a year’s time. I only wonder, is this the quality of a world renowned machine?

I had my note book inspected by the distributor Shahnawaz (Dell Distributor and Service Center in Pakistan) , who informed that the motherboard is faulty, screen is faulty and battery is dead!! I have purchased this expensive Notebook on 10th April 2007 and in approx one year the note book is finished, not useable? All my investment in the DELL brand has gone wasted?

What should I do now, throw the expensive notebook in trash can and buy a new DELL Notebook?

Can somebody comment or help me out?

is it under warranty?

I only have BF2 installed so far:

^ syn, it would be very expensive to upgrade to 4 gb becuse you would have to buy 2 2gb dims. Thats probaly over 500 $ right there. Have you tested any other games? This laptop is very very very very very very very very very very very NICE!!!!!!

govtcheez thanks! Im really really liking this little baby. It seems to be a really nice well balanced little lappy..

Boom..nooooo didn't mean 4 gigs now..I ment couple years down the line when 2 gigs is what 512 is today lol

Anyone know how Wi-fi works? I have it but I don't have wireless..and my lappy will blow my car battery so i never bothered with taking it in the car..to hot and heavy..but this m1210 i could take to the beach on 4 hours battery..listen to the waves and get some work done..

Anyway how does wi-fi work when your not home..do you need like a t-moble account..does it just pick up on someone with wireless in the area and piggy back off them? I saw Verizon charges over 50 a month for moble wireless access..way to much.. T-moble charges 20 a month which is reasonably..providing if im close enough to pick it up.. Not an issue at home..was just trying to figure out how it works if im like at the beach..

whoops. was answering a question on the first page and didnt realize trhere was a second page :P

What is the native resolution of the screen? Dell's site says XGA, but in the review it mentioned WXGA.

Thanks for the great review. I just wish the lappy had a DVI port too. Hopefully on the next revision they may put an HDMI port on it too, that would be awesome.

Can't wait to see what Dell does with this model when Merom comes out.

^ Its WXGA.

Very nice review, I would plonk some of my own cash down on one of these if I had it to spare.... I think that the 7400go beats the MR9700 I have in my notebook which is a 15.4" model, amazing to see in an 'ultraportable'

Stu

How did BF2 run??

quite well at medium settings. I was pretty shocked, but I think the 2GB of memory definitely helps.

u hleped me a tad bit with my aw note book ty its ok check mine out

lol cant find my digital camera but this is it i found some pics

Well govtcheez, its been a few weeks now. How are you liking the M1210 now that you've had time to use it for a while? Still no heat issues after prolonged use?
