The awe-inspiring dell Inspiron series R started showing up well since its release on 15-Dec-2010 with its 14” (14 R), 15” (15R) and specifically with Dell Inspiron N7110 AC adapter which have taken hearts by its marvelous looks and outstanding performance. Dell definitely knew what they wanted for competing in the era of technology, they have sent a brave soldier, the N7110. The dell Inspiron is a landmark of class, higher than the others. Its inspiring architecture and the reliability makes it a perfect replacement for the desktop pc. Dell has stood up yet again with its Inspiron N7110 to challenge the competitors with a greater zeal. Dell N7110 has proven its name, “Inspiron”.

Dell Inspiron N7110 processor relies on Intel Core i5-2510M quad-core processor (clock speed at 2.3GHz) which is full-powered, standard-voltage processor, and based on Sandy Bridge technology. Its system is supported with 6GB of RAM. Nvidia GeForce GT 525M graphics chip with Optimus technology (which support to automatically switch into integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics chip if not used for energy saving) is resulting good performance in 3D gaming and other application. On PCMark Vantage testing, Dell Inspiron N7110 scores at 6,036. Since it supplied with big 9-cell Dell T114C battery, it can run up to 7 hours 51 minutes based on MobileMark 2007 tests. Those long battery life time can be considered top class.

Battery life lasted a whopping 7 hours 51 minutes on our MobileMark 2007 test, thanks to its 9-cell 90Wh battery. The automatic graphics switching technology from Nvidia , known as Optimus, also helped boost its battery life. The Optimus technology switches between the less power consuming integrated graphics for light productivity tasks and switches to the discrete GPU when needed for taxing graphics-intensive tasks, like gaming. In comparison, the Dell XPS 15 (Sandy Bridge), equipped with a 92Wh Dell Inspiron N7110 battery, lasted 6:58, and the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt) lasted a mere 4:40.

The Inspiron N7110's top model is standardly equipped with a 500 GB HDD. The installed Western Digital WDC WD5000BEVT-750RT0 doesn't belong to the fastest representatives with a speed of 5400 rpm. The sequential read and write rates are rather average with 67.75, respectively 63.43 MB/s. Good HDDs easily achieve more than 80 MB/s. State of the art SSDs can even achieve more than 300 MB/s. By the way: Amateurs shouldn't try to change the HDD. The removable (screwed) cover only allows accessing the RAM (two slots).

Displayul de 17.3 inch este excelent pentru jocuri cat si pentru filme. Dar sa nu ne oprim aici, trebuie sa spunem ca combinat cu rezolutia de 1600 x 900 pixeli ofera un spatiu de lucru mare – care iti aduce un plus de productivitate in mediul office. Dimensiunea pixelului este buna, este un display glossy asadar culorile se vad foarte bine, sunt vii, constrastul e ridicat iar unghiul de vizibilitate pe laterale este facut in asa fel incat sa se poata vedea pana la 160 grade.

The basic Inspiron N7110 sports a black muted design (this option won't cost you any extra), but with Dell's innovative new SWITCH by Design Studio lids (exclusive to the Dell Inspiron R Series), you can change up your lid design for $34.99 more. There are numerous lid options, including Peacock Blue, Fire Red, or Lotus Pink (my personal favorite). To switch your lids, you just press a button on the backside of the lid that allows it to pop off. The Dell Inspiron N7110 charger is made of plastic, but the interior and exterior has a brushed look to it, giving it a more dynamic design.

For the storage media, Dell Inspiron N7110 relies on 500 GB (5,400rpm) HDD, although those storege is spacious enough to keeps your digital files, but other laptop is this category, offers larger space. While for optical drive, it equipped with Dual-Layer DVD+/-RW (not a blue ray). Ports given are: two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0, eSATA/ USB 2.0 combo, 3-in-1 card reader (SD, MMC, MS), VGA port, HDMI port and WiDi 2.0. Dell Inspiron N7110 wireless connection features: Ethernet, and Wi-Fi. It also has a 1.0-megapixel HD webcam.

Performance in our 3D gaming tests was good. It scored 52.6 frames per second (fps) on Crysis (DirectX 10) and 36.8fps on Lost Planet 2 (DirectX 9) (both on Medium quality settings). At higher settings the Inspiron N7110 produced slower frame rates on Crysis (14.7fps) and Lost Planet (16.4fps). Its Nvidia GeForce GT 525M graphics chipset will certainly give you some 3D performance, provided you adjust your in-game settings accordingly.

The Inspiron N7110 is a typical multimedia laptop that doesn't allow itself to make many mistakes. At the same time, it doesn't really excel in any relation. Workmanship, keyboard, connectivity, performance and emissions are on about the normal standard. As most other manufacturers, Dell unfortunately uses a run of the mill display that will only suffice less demanding users. However, the smooth and pleasantly large touchpad has to be mentioned positively. Most laptops can only dream of that. The Dell T114C battery life also surpasses numerous opponents. The Inspiron N7110 can be used in many ways.

It is necessary for a high-end product Dell XPS L401X to feature versatile. XPS L401X uses a backlit keyboard and the user can turn on and off the backlight by hand. There are two options of backlight intensity.

Dell XPS L401X notebook weighs 3.435kg together with its battery and Dell XPS L401x AC adapter. As we all know, Dell XPS series notebook features relatively heavy, but acceptable as a gaming notebook, as a result, Dell XPS L401X notebook is not so convenient to carry for outdoor use.

XPS laptops are designed to be the loudest, clearest and cleanest laptops on the planet with built-in high-fidelity JBL speakers and Waves MaxxAudio technology. Together they produce rich, full sound that delivers booming bass and razor-sharp clarity to your favorite movies, music and games. Treat your ears to peak audio performance with the XPSs 6W JBL speakers. Then, layer in the Waves algorithms designed to deliver better dynamic range, frequency response and imaging with maximum transparency, clarity and natural sound.

The backlit keys aren't of the raised chiclet variety that we typically prefer, but the click action on the XPS L401x's keyboard was surprisingly snappy, rather than mushy like we expected it to be. We're still not fans of typing on notebook keys in general, however this is as good of a mobile keyboard as we've typed on. We were slightly bummed at not being able to change the color of the backlight.

Simply connect your laptop to your 3D-enabled TV and effortlessly project your favorite Blu-ray5 3D movies and 3D photo slideshows for a real-life theater experience. Then, bring your best games6 to life. Using the power of your HP PR08 battery and your 3D TV, you can step into an eye-popping 3D gaming experience right in your living room. All you need to harness the 3D power of your XPS L401x is a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) cable, optional Blu-ray Disc™ drive, approved 3D-enabled TV and 3D media1.

This system is surrounded by two USB 2.0 ports, a USB / eSATA combo jack as well as HDMI, DisplayPort and ethernet sockets .There is also a headphone and headphone / mic port, but you'll definitely prefer listening to music through the speakers as they are mind blowing. It has got a DVD drive and a SD card slot live on the right edge. You can add a Blu-ray drive to the configuration too.

My WiFi enables people to share Internet access function. The reason why this Dell XPS L401X support MyWifi, mainly because the laptop has equipped with built-in Intel wireless card, which most of mainstream Intel wireless cards support MyWifi technology.

There were some good aspects to the design, though. For instance, idle Dell XPS L401x battery life improved 16% and Internet battery life went up 35%. (We noted in the L501x review that our Internet test did quite poorly, and it appears the L401x doesn’t suffer the same fate.) H.264 playback remains nearly the same at just under three hours. For gaming, the 768p resolution is also a better fit for the GT 420M GPU—1080p is simply too much for anything but low detail settings on most games without a faster GPU. The final benefit of course is the size and weight. Personally, 14” laptops are one of my favorite form factors in terms of combining a smaller size with a comfortable keyboard, reasonable display size, and HP PR08 battery life/portability. If the XPS L401x had offered a 1440x900 quality LCD upgrade, it would have been nearly “perfect” for mainstream use.

When Dell told us of its plans to revive its tried and true XPS laptop line we were pretty darn excited. Without a doubt, the Dell XPS L401X packs some extremely attractive features: the system's JBL speakers are some of the best ever put into a laptop, its Core i5 processor combined with NVIDIA GeForce GT400M provides seriously solid gaming and performance muscle, and its HD webcam captures crisp video and pictures.

The Intel Core i7 740QM processor is one of the high-end processor with advanced 45nm manufacturing process, the default clocked at 1.73GHz that can improved to 2.93GHz by (Turbo Boost) dynamic acceleration technology. Meantime, and be able to adjust 6MB three-level shared cache according to the actual load dynamic, and support Hyper-Threading technology with the maximum thermal design power of 90W Dell XPS L401x adapter.

Dell XPS L401x price in USA : Dell XPS L401x laptop price starts from $629. Dell XPS 14 is expected to be available in United States soon.

What a fun. What a spend of your power and attempt.HP Pavilion dm1-4010us Laptop PC On process, I will not be purchasing ANYTHING that HP pre set up.

The machines will be starting ship in Japan on netx few days with price tag at 39,900 Yen and its also available in several country with HP Pavilion Dm1-4000 QD992UA that has starting price at $480.

The silver-painted hinges have enough tension to hold the screen in place, but the plastics surrounding the hinges “float” around the actual metal hinges themselves. The lid features a plain matte black paint job which keeps the outward appearance clean and professional. Opening up the screen, This was probably done so that the hinges won’t sustain a sharp impact if the laptop is dropped with the screen in the open position. However, the flexing plastics around the hinges don’t inspire the same confidence in build quality as the rest of the laptop.

This thin, lightweight machine combines some great features in an attractive package. One of the biggest problems facing laptop users today is the overheating of their machine. The HP Pavilion dm1-4010us comes complete with HP CoolSense technology. This feature will automatically regulate the temperature of your laptop while you’re using it away from a desk. The heat will be directed away from your lap, meaning that you can use the machine in comfort for longer.

HP Pavilion dm1-4010us takes onboard several hardware such as VISION E2 technology from AMD with AMD dual-core E-450 accelerated processor, the video graphics adopt AMD Radeon HD 6320 Discrete-Class Graphic that provides up to 1973MB total graphic memory. The memory RAM integrated is 4GB DDR3.

On the hardware side, there are very few changes: the previous model featured the AMD Fusion APU E-350, the new dm1-4010us will come in two flavors, one with the AMD E-300 (slower) and the other will run the AMD E-450 (faster). Models with Intel Core 2nd generation processors will launch later. AMD models also include the AMD Radeon HD integrated GPU.

The dm1's discrete-class AMD Radeon HD 6320 GPU returned a decent score of 2,650 on 3DMark06. While that's 230 points below the ultraportable average, it trounced the IdeaPad S205's ATI Mobility Radeon 6310 GPU (2,269) and the Aspire One's ATI Radeon HD 6250 GPU (1,630). The older dm1z scored 2,217. Those looking for a little gaming action on the go will find the dm1 fairly capable. When we ran a few quests in World of Warcraft with effects set to Good and at 1366 x 768p, the notebook notched a frame rate of 34 fps--nine points shy of the 43 fps average but still playable. The last-gen dm1 mustered 24 fps. On maximum settings, though, the new HP Pavilion DM1-4010us adapter only achieved 13 fps.

The 11.6-inch LED-backlit screen on the HP Pavilion dm1z is like most glossy screens we've seen on 11-inch notebooks and netbook alternatives. The 1366 x 768 resolution is fine for browsing the web, editing photos, or even watching 720p HD movies. Color and contrast are average thanks to the glossy surface and LED backlighting. We recorded a real-world contrast ratio of 216:1 in our lab and a maximum screen brightness of 226 nits; bright enough for indoor use under almost any artificial lights and bright enough for outdoor use (as long as the unfiltered sun isn't shining directly on your screen and creating reflections). If you tilt the screen forward or back, the colors start to look dim or very washed out. Horizontal viewing angles were better; staying visible until roughly 60 degrees.

Dell XPS L502X Overview

The Dell XPS L502X is the 15 inch model of Dell’s new line of “powerhouse” , multimedia laptops. Dell has really worked hard on the overall performance of this laptop and has targeted it to multimedia and gaming enthusiasts.

Dell recently updated its XPS L502X line to include the new Intel 2nd Generation Core i processors. This refresh makes the systems faster with an economical starting price of just $799. Depending on your level of gaming, an upgrade to a FullHD display and more advanced video card may be worth considering. In summary, the Dell XPS L502X is a great 15-inch notebook due to its portability, excellent audio quality, and overall value.

Although Dell also promotes the XPS line for its design, this notebook looks more serviceable than chic. It’s bulky, weighing in at 6.2 pounds, with one of the largest Dell XPS L502x AC adapter bricks I’ve ever seen. Along with the so-so Dell XPS L502x battery life, this makes the Dell XPS 15 L502X a poor candidate for frequent flyers. Its silvery aluminum chassis, including a slab-like lid with black accents, looks fairly generic, and its underside gets quite warm after extended use. The keyboard, while roomy and responsive, has no backlighting, and the touchpad seemed a bit slow to respond. The 1366 by 768 display, which is fine for video, could be a bit sharper and crisper when showing a screenful of text; Dell offers a couple of 1920 by 1080 display alternatives. You can get this same hardware in a sleeker, lighter, and more durable shell if you’re willing to pay a couple hundred dollars more for the Dell XPS 15 L502X.

The XPS L502X (Sandy Bridge)’s feature set is vast and arguably the most impressive in its class. It comes with 3 USB ports (two of which are USB 3.0, the other an eSATA/USB 2.0 combo port), DisplayPort, HDMI, and an HD Webcam. The Webcam, which allows you to shoot video in 720p, was the first for a laptop until the Apple 15-inch (Thunderbolt) included one of its own. Unlike the Apple 15-inch, this one is Skype-certified, which means you can video chat in high definition through Skype (You can only use the MacBook Pros Webcam in standard definition for video chatting on Skype; the HD resolution only works with its own Facetime client software). A Blu-ray drive , which is included in my review configuration, is ideal for watching Blu-ray movies in a full 1080p. You can also find a Blu-ray drive in the HP dv7-4283cl. Not only is the 750GB hard drive spacious, but at 7,200rpm, it also spins as fast as the one found in the Asus N53SV-A1 and HP dv7-4283cl. Alternatively, you can swap it out for a 256GB solid-state drive (SSD), albeit for an obscene amount of money.

Our configuration came with a quad-core 2.0 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU 2630QM, costing $ 175 over the CPU core. This is one of the new Intel processors Sandy Bridge in 2011. In our benchmarks, the performance was excellent and much better than last year’s dual-core i5 – not surprising since it was a generation processor and an option to the lower end of the processor. But even against other laptops in 2011 with Sandy Bridge Intel next-gen, he more than held its own to make a significant jump in speed compared to last year’s Intel CPU. We drove several windows CPU-intensive tasks and experienced almost no slowdown, even slots blowing hot air from time to time.

XPS L502X is good enough for the stereo. Speakers and subwoofer ensure a low-mounted JBL sound incredibly powerful, precise. We were too heavy bass song is like listening RB, Forget-me-not, funk, and classics like Kool and the Gang Summer Madness, or classical music, such as Richard Strauss, Also Sprach Zarathustra, the sound was clear and true, even at the loudest maximum. In fact, listening to these songs, you hear a clear separation of instruments, plucking the bass line, do not forget me, Summer Madness Dell R795X battery.

The software package includes Dell uses a handful of applications that may or may not be useful, including PhotoStage image organizer, Cosi Family Calendar, Roxio Creator Starter (for burning DVDs and CDs), and Skype, and the now ubiquitous Microsoft Office 2010 Starter Edition (with advertising versions of Word and Excel).

It seems that, at least for now, you can't duplicate your desktop to a TV/projector using the HDMI output and the Fn+F1 options - can only extend. You can duplicate using the displayport output though, and so using a DP to HDMI Dell XPS L502x adapter. This may be fixed now, using beta drivers from Nvidia.

All this is due to its use of RGB LED backlights, rather than the white LEDs that most screens use. White LEDs are actually made up of a blue LED with yellow phosphor to make it appear white, but this leaves huge holes in the red and green parts of the spectrum. RGB LEDs make a purer white and render greens and reds far more accurately.

The latop is pretty bulky and heavy too , in my case its due to the 9 cell battery. But i think those who select a 6 cell will be slightly lighter.
The vents for the GPU/CPU is placed on the left side of the laptop , compare it to the old XPS , which are behind the screen and sometimes a fully opened screen can partly block the vents , also there was big fan on the bottom , making the exhaust of hot air pretty complicated. But New XPS overcomes these problems in grand style. The vent is on the left side and there is only one 3.0 USB port , so unless you stick a big wireless device or receiver that sort on the left side ,the exhaust are pretty much open and big to push out chunk of hot air.

The reason I get into the above is two-fold: first, it illustrates a design flaw and the difficulty of upgrading the hard drive/SSD. The other item to note is that the entire top cover is made of somewhat flimsy plastic, which feels more like Inspiron quality than XPS quality. The frame on the XPS line may be solid, but the actual shell around the frame is plastic and definitely not as sturdy as Dell’s Latitude line. I’d really prefer to see the XPS line go slightly more upscale—bump the price up $50 to $100 and give us a consumer chassis that feels like it will last. Or there’s the new Alienware M11x/M14x that might fill that niche, but aesthetics are still a matter of opinion and plenty of people dislike the bling that’s present on Alienware’s offerings.

Although Dell also promotes the XPS L502X line for its design, this notebook looks more serviceable than chic. It's bulky, weighing in at 6.2 pounds, with one of the largest AC adapter bricks I've ever seen. Along with the so-so Dell XPS L502x battery life, this makes the XPS 15 L502X a poor candidate for frequent flyers.

You can get this same hardware in a sleeker, lighter, and more durable shell if you're willing to pay a couple hundred dollars more for the XPS 15z.

The new Dell XPS has the same set of ports we saw in the XPS L502X back in November, and that's OK, since those ports already were pretty up-to-date. Though the XPS lacks an ExpressCard slot, it comes with two USB 3.0 ports, an optional TV tuner (included on our config), and HDMI 1.4 with Nvidia 3DTV Play, allowing playback of 3D games or Blu-ray content onto a 3D HDTV via an HMDI cable. You'll need a 3D TV to even take advantage of this feature, of course, and we doubt many people will.

At $1,488, the Dell XPS L502X with Intel's second-generation Core i7 processor offers blistering performance, strong graphics, and stellar video and audio playback. If you don't plan on moving your notebook much, the larger Dell XPS 17 offers a 3D 17-inch display, the same great audio, and similar specs for the slightly lower cost of $1,474. And if you're looking for a more portable machine with longer Dell R795X battery life--and are willing to spend more--get the $1,799 15-inch MacBook Pro. Overall, though, those looking for a powerful 15-inch multimedia machine at a reasonable price should put the XPS 15 at or near the top of their shopping list.
