I recently got one of these courtesy of my good friend – so far, IT ROCKS!
very sleek, user friendly and i must say that it’s durable too..
hi sir, where did you buy one? and how much? i really want to buy one.. thanks
Wow. Nice! Thanks for the share Arth!
Hi Ely,
Im still “exploring” the thing though… So far the only concern is that the unit has 2 USB ports – one for an extended SATA and the other for a regular USB/connection. Though it can be solved by buying a USB hub naman. Aside from this, wala na.. everything is exquisite..
Well, keep sharing your experience with it to us! Thanks
Well, unfortunately, my V13 has been stolen last Monday. so sad. Although Im to buy now a new Inspiron since V13′s are very rare.. hehehe
One problem is the integrated webcam, it doesn’t have any driver downloadable from dell.com for windows7. I haven’t tried using 3rd party software. 2nd problem is the battery which is internal, so in case you need to replace your defective battery, you need to unscrew the bottom panel (hassel!). 3rd problem is you need to have external optical drive (CD/DVD/Bluray) to install SW from your optical disks.
hi! where can i get one here in the philippines? i really wanna buy one, please help.. thanks
