Me.

I'm still here with my M140.

Was thinking about going Core Duo but really didn't see the need. I'll wait for Merom.

Nova69 · 07-21-2006, 06:35 PM

Still have mine. I'm not a hard-core gamer - If it takes more than 10 min. to learn, I'm not interested. I need to run business apps, make presentations, burn a few DVD's, and surf the net. It's just what I need - small, light, runs cool, geat battery life --- so I'm really happy with it.

Mercilesz · 07-21-2006, 10:12 PM

yup..

2Dell600m's · 07-25-2006, 02:48 PM

Yep, still here.

Hybridsolidr · 07-28-2006, 02:16 AM

I still have mine. I used to have an Inspiron 8200 but that was stolen. I got the M140 because it has much better battery life and is much more portable.

I really didn't need to play games on it anymore.

I'm in. I got mine about 2 mos. ago, and love it. I use it all the time instead of my i9300 because it is so much more portable and I'm not a gamer.
The thing is great: long batt. life (9 cell), nice screen and pretty fast.
I also got a good deal on it although some of the latest e1405 deals have been nice.

Well I posted this in another thread, but didn't receive a single response. Maybe someone here could help out?

I'm trying to change the power properties on my M140 when I have it unplugged from the power cord. I can make the changes, but it refuses to save, so every time I close the lid, and then open it again, or plus the cord back in, I have to change it again. I undervolted my laptop, so the default power management setting is RM Clock. If I try to save under that or create my own management setting, it gives me some sort of error, saying something about 2 revision levels.

So how do I save it and keep it saved even after closing the lid or unplugging/plugging in the cord?

M140 owner right here. I love the M140 laptop and it's much more portable/lightweight then my previous XPS Gen2. While the Gen2 was an outstanding machine, it was also VERY heavy and forget about using it on an airplane LOL.

Only thing I've done with the M140 is upgraded the RAM to 1.5GIG and also added the Bluetooth. So far so good.

plAythiNG · 08-09-2006, 05:24 AM

the m140 IMO is the perfect notebook, when customised to ur needs/wants

crashovrride · 08-13-2006, 06:03 PM

I've still got mine and I plan on keeping it for a while.
