[supercheapguy]

Did anyone know its Monitor Out Port good for dual screen setup? or mirror only?

VGA? or DVI? max resolution? Thanks

[faibs]

wheres the hype??? not here. Buying a celeron Notebook still isnt the best value no matterhow cheap it is. However, you still get 130 bucks off the Pentium M version of the Inspiron 6000
I might be getting that.

its not a celeron, its a celeron m btw.... celeron m is basically a pentium m processor with less cache so its still a very good chip, not every one could afford a top of the line notebook and for this price this is a very good deal

Celeron m does not have the advanced power management too

13KFW?RGNBVPS9 code is giving me the $75 off but it still says $99 for shipping?? Any idea if the $10 shipping is limited to certain models?

The coupons are a separate deal from the $999 Inspiron 6000. For the $999 deal with $10 shipping you have to go through this link:

According to varies web test, a Celeron M compare to Pentium M at same speed, the "speed" performance different is about 10-15% due to smaller cache.
but the "battary" performance is 10-20% worse as it lack of some Power management feature.
However, the price different should be enough for additional batt. which in turn last for longer. (and a <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=167 target=_blank>Dell</a> batt. will die after 150-300 recharge cycle, thus you are getting a double) But it's extra weight to carry around.
edit: and I hate to do shopping after the batt. died

[thedon]

i could be wrong but i don't think battery will vary that much, only difference is the pentium m can go into a deeper sleep but most people don't leave there comp running on idle without any programs running. celeron m is still a very low voltage chip

of course there will be a small reduction in speed but it should not be that noticable considering the price difference

celeron is just a bad name to give to this chip, its still a better chip than most and is probably a better choice than a p4

Does anybody have any opinions here..

[diwana]

my sis wants a laptop...but doesnt want a brick to carry around...is the 6000 considered heavy? (its about 7 pounds)

[Derek]

If you're buying a laptop with a 15.4" screen I think about 7 lbs is right. I personally think it's a bit too heavy to carry around but it depends on how you use it and how often you'll have to carry it. The extra resolution and screen size is nice but the tradeoff is weight.

[Kinki]

If there's a <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=167 target=_blank>Dell</a> kiosk in your area you should go take a look. I find the 6000 quite big, unless your sister wants a desktop replacement w/ portability.

[blues45]

for a good light laptop, run the <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=167 target=_blank>Dell</a> 700m, its nice and runs about the same as the 6000 only 4.1lbs with a 12incher, perfect for school or whatever ur needs r.

its what i got :cheesygri

[blues45]

i've considered trading in my 700m for the 6000 for the sole reason of the 128mb vidcard
i would like to beable to enjoy some nice games when i got time off from school

The discrete video card is only the x300 though. You would need to look at the 9300 at the minimum for a really good notebook video card.

[samgao]

coupon does not work!who can help me?

The coupon does not apply to this config of the 6000.

the toshiba cost 1000

any opinion,,,on which is better

[nabzif]

I just bought my dad the 6000 2 weeks ago. It's awesome. I would highly recommend it. For what you pay and what you get, it's pretty good. I got the 15.4" widescreen with the Pentium M 730. I hardly notice the weight. Battery lasts for about 3:25hr. I would probably buy another for myself if i had some more $$$.

[faibs]

where is that system for 1 grand for??? please let me know!!

[nounou23]

I'm thinking of getting it with the complete care warranty... for an extra 230$ / 3 years...

Did anyone ever had experience with the complete care waranty?
Does it cover batteries..

and also I want to know where the other member got that toshiba laptop for 1000$

[Mr.Universe]

I would also like to know where this Toshiba Laptop for $1000 is.

[Menace]

I'm getting mine this Wednesday. Can't wait. Toshiba is my 1st choice, but <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=167 target=_blank>Dell</a> is more affordable, so I go with my 2nd choice.

According to Derek, it would be over 7lbs if it's 15.4". Can you give the approximate weight of your 6000? I am going to buy one light but confused by 2 different comments.

PS: do you use the 53whr or 80 whr battery?

[bigbug]

In terms of speed, battery life and weight? Thanks.

Which one did you get the 999.99 one? did you take any extra warranty?

[Menace]

No, I took the $1399 - $100 Coupon + $10 Shipping last week. You know what, I would take the extra warranty, I feel sorry I didn't.

Which one did you get the 999.99 one? did you take any extra warranty?

[IceMan77]

Did anyone know its Monitor Out Port good for dual screen setup? or mirror only?

VGA? or DVI? max resolution? Thanks

Not sure on this model, but I'm using the Inspiron 5150 with the ATI card, and I can use it as a dual monitor setup. Did I mention that totally kicks ass!! :lol:

[Menace]

You can say that again :D

Did I mention that totally kicks ass!! :lol:

[faibs]

Iam still wondering where that TOSHIBA system is selling for 999.99 for???

[mystique]

Same here.. a Toshiba system for $1000 would be pretty good.

[canadiandeals]

ew. delll. :cheesygri

[Derek]

I was just actually responding to someone who said the weight was about 7 lbs. I looked it up and the official word is:

Weight: Starting at 6.65 lbs.1 (3.01kg) configured with integrated graphics, 6-cell battery, 30GB hard drive and DVD-ROM

According to Derek, it would be over 7lbs if it's 15.4". Can you give the approximate weight of your 6000? I am going to buy one light but confused by 2 different comments.

<a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=167 target=_blank>Dell</a> finance is nuts, depending on your credit rating, it could average around 21 percent, however it is simple interest. and on your CC you do get some kind of rewards/points hopefully. Tough one but your CC is Compounding interest. Tough choice, but once you get the computer, you wont care less:)

[nounou23]

yeah it was about 21%. end up paying about 600$ more for the PC after 3 years...... but I dont know if you can increase the payments.. they told me it would be about 60$ / month... but I wanted to put more... I should call them again.

im still thinking about this or jsut getting a desktop, for the same price, i can get much much more.

Toshiba and Dell aren't in the same class as Acer and HP. For your info, all the IT Tech at LCE (Loblaws) use Toshiba, Simens IT Tech use Dell laptop.

thanks..... i need this asap since the deal ends tonight



Yeah would be nice, if someone could post their quote # or more info so that others could call and try and get similar! :confused:

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be better deals to come in the future. I bought an I6000 last month for $1619 plus free shipping. It differed from the config posted by faibs with a WUXGA monitor vs WXGA, 7200 RPM HD vs 5400 RPM, 730 1.6GHz/533MHz FSB Pentium-M processor vs 1.4GHz 715A 400MHz FSB, Intel 2915 a/b/g vs Intel 2200 b/g wireless card. On the plus side for his config, he got the DVD burner vs the combo and got a free bag but overall, I think my purchase was a better deal.

[slotscanada]

Appears the deal has come and gone, I checked out their "special" today and to get similar - it is about $200 more!!

Ah well, will keep my eyes peeled for what is to follow....

:o

[slotscanada]

DOES Anyone have a QUOTE # or anything for said system?
The DELL guy I am dealing with "requires" it, since he can't seem to make the same deal - using last weeks old specs.


Thanks! :|

Dell called me last night because I had apply for the credit online and didn't finish it.. they wanted to tell me I was approved and he would give me a good deal.. I was able to get this for 1429.00 with free shipping and 3 years on site complete care

it's actually like the inspiron configuration on their main page but with 100$ off..

I didn't order it yet. any comments?

Should I upgrade the RAM from 512M to 1G outside the Laptop deal? It's $400 in the package but
$100 for the upgrade from 2 DIMM to 1 DIMM and
$167.4 for another 512M DIMM module

Any thought?

You won't see as big as a jump from 256->512MB
so I won't do it personally, unless you really need it (CAD, etc.)
If you need something to meet the upgrade, look for other stuff (batteries, better screen, bigger HD, DL DVD?)

Which deal are you working on? Can't seem to find anything as attractive as last weeks! :cry:

[slotscanada]

UPDATE: Speaking with the Dell guy via phone and e-mail over the past couple days. He is NOT able to match the deal listed above by NOUNOV23 and FAIBS. Claims it is IMPOSSIBLE. Also the $100 off coupon that they apparently used is not valid for this promo, the first excuse was that coupon was NOT out then, I corrected him and advised it has been out for 9 days. Then the story changed to not valid with an expired promo, etc. The ONLY way he is willing to match the deal is with an order # or quote # - if anyone can PLEASE provide would be great!

:cry:

[faibs]

I do not do any gaming. I just look at pictures that i take and occasionally some DVD's. I will never do gaming as I have an XBOX.

Is it worth it to upgrade the Screen and/or the Video card???

Can someone please reply asap as I want to close this deal today.
Thanks
Phil

[nounou23]

Sorry I don't have the Quote number with me right now. It's home and I'm not home for a couple more days.. I printed out the form and I left it there. I have an email but it's on my home PC.

I'll try to contact them if I can get the same agent I had before + the quote #

l
The Intel graphics aren't too bad, they use very little power and they support DirectX 9 which is useful to maximize performance with Longhorn. They aren't too bad for older games:

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1617355,00.asp

As for the screen, I got the WUXGA and it's awesome to have to so much room. The fonts are small but they can be adjusted and text with ClearType is simply stunning. Regardless, the WXGA screen has the worst viewing angle and is the least bright out of the three available models, so I would go with WSXGA+ at least.

Similar to the quote I assume you received. :)

Well, it's either the size of the screen or weight and I chose the latter. :lol:

yup, my quote was for the same amount as yours however, the longer lasting battery was included as well.

i would aswell but the price difference is just too great for me to compromise.

You are better off to wait until they have the next sale.

I have a same deal (free dvd burner & nylon case) without the 3 year waranty, $1299 or $1505 after taxes.

Weird - mine shows in shipped on Thr Mar 24th and for the past 5 days the tracking info with Purolator shows that as the last activity - something about "LINE ACTIVITY in the US" - no further updates.

I called Purolator a couple days ago after the holiday for update, and she basically told me the same info as on the web.

Was hoping to have it by now, ah well, maybe by the end of the week. :confused:

What's your secret? I would definitely (if the choice is present) forego the harddrive upgrade for the DVDRW-/+!

I'm waiting for them to have a more 'appealing' offering; it seems the weekend thing comes and goes with enough frequency to justify a little wait longer.

Not to important, unless you play on using the 6000 strictly for desktop only, or need a legacy port. The I6000 includes 1 Cardbus slot, 4 USB 2 ports, 1 4-pin IEEE 1394 port, 1 VGA out, 1 S-Video out and 1 SD-media reader.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about the D610. I only have the I6000 so I don't think I can help you. However, you might want to check out http://notebookforums.com/ as they have an active Dell forum and I've noticed a couple of D610 user reviews.
