dell inspiron 1464

first laptop of mine

awesome dell 1464

new inspiron 14"

new core i5

on 30th of march

after months of researches

i decided to buy dell via online

also my first product via online

not the best specs though

but i've chosen the best i could at a range

i suppose can get cheaper by rm80 still

too bad the dell online voucher already being before it expired

2399

core i5-430M

3gb ram ddr3

320gb hdd

w7 home premium

intel hd graphic cards

and a top loading bag

arrive on 16th of april

this black machine everything looking fine

since i already used a week

speaker not up to nice quality but quite loud at max

the arm rest area quite glossy so as the lid cover

i try to game it with cs 2.0 and c&c generals

it heats up a bit near the left fan port with the internal-cooler running

gaming may up to average 70%

the cooler runs if the cpu usage is around 30% and above

standby memory usage 0.9-1.1gb

while surfing internet 1.3-1.5gb

when using google earth 4 only it shoots up to 2gb

luckily the max memory is 3gb

intel hd graphic is obviously not a gamer's choice

i didnt opt for ati or nvidia

cause i know laptop seriously cant game too much

i'm not a full time gamer anyway lolx

i buy white avf mouse in pc fair

rm19 optical mouse

the touch pad only for emergency use only

dell's touch pad isn't that smooth compare to others'

the next thing i'm gonna buy would be earphone

presumably sonic gear's

not planning to buy cooler pad

normal usage like surfing online and watching videos won't heat up too much

battery life can up to 3 hours until 5% left to hibernate

with average surfing and lightly used

recharge from 5% to full requires about 2 hours 15 minutes

80% can be reached around 90 minutes

for the moment this laptop is really cool

hope it continue for the next 3 years as well
