My Dell Vostro 1510

24th July was a day I eagerly waited for. My laptop was said to be arriving on that day. Anyway, the delivery date was already a great disappointment for me. I went to KL for 11 days hoping to receive it there as the free delivery covered only west malaysia. I was anticipating to receive it as the 'estimated delivery date' was said to be around 12 days. When I was in KL, I knew that Amy who bought the laptop just a day before me would get hers on 14th July, and she really got it. I was so disappointed with the Customer service. They said the delay in delivery was caused by the shortage of a part. But they didn't inform me! So I told them about it and complained. I sent them emails almost everyday. Luckily there was a very nice customer care specialist who solved all the problems for me. Then they allowed to send it to my house for free. They better do. They just should not make me wait again. I was desperate.






That's how my laptop looks. Just my type of laptop. The look is very satisfactory.

What I like about this laptop:
1. I bought it at a very worthy price. RM4XXX. The price is good for its specs: 2.5GHz core 2 duo processor, 3GB ram (free upgrade), built in camera and microphone, biometry sensor, 15.4" widescreen (1440X900), genuine Vista business, free belkin bag
2. I love the glossy outer case, it just looks so elegant and cool. I will not mind wiping it everyday to keep it gloss~
3. It's not very big.
4. WIFI detection is good.
5. Long battery life.
6. the touch-media-buttons. They are cool and with blue lights.
7. Good side vents. My laptop does not turn hot at all.
8. Slot loading optical drive. Just so cool.
9. It is incredibly quiet when it is running.
10. four USB ports
11. So far no problem has been found except the followings.

What I don't like:
1. something I changed for twice- the keyboard. It is quite noisy. The first one has a squeaky spacebar. Second one has a loud backspace. Third one? slightly better than the previous two, but still, at least it's bearable. Just don't feel like bothering about it anymore. The reviews online mentioned about the keyboard for being flimsy. I think it is not flimsy but noisy.
2. the speakers. They are on both sides of the keyboard. The problem is when I was watching movie and the actor shouted, it sounds like the diaphragm was about to burst. Anyway, bearable.

It will be my companion in my room when i go overseas. I hope it will 'behave' properly all the time wherever I go. Love it~
