Better Pictures of Dell XPS M1730

Ok…. i’ve taken better pics of the laptop so hopefully it comes out nicely… my phone is getting bad.. need to replace it soon.. I WAN MY HTC!!!! TYTN II!!!! XD i can only dream now.. T.T okok.. back to the XPS..

For starters.. i shall start with the top part of the laptop…. i got the bone white version which has white led lights at the back… its not that clear due to the camera so please bare with me… hehe~~

Opening it… i tried taking the screen with the keyboard.. but the screen did not come out clearly.. some how the camera darkens when i point it at the screen… sigh~~~

Blured rite… ok.. coming to the keyboard…

A macro shot at the keyboard… look at the beautiful backlights.. XD

 

Ok…. around they keyboard.. the power button with the media centre button.. Its dell software.. looks kindda cool.. XD

Ok… this is getting lame… but here is Dell’s kind warning words..

 

I like this part about the laptop.. this LCD screen is extremely useful.. it has a stop watch as well as a timer. It also displays what song or movie you are listening or watching, the processor and ram usage, date and time as well as game information when you play.. it will show you how much bullets and life you have.. cool eh.. XD

Ok.. lastly.. i tried to take a good shot of the monitor…. so hope the effort was not futile and you are able to see it.. XD

Thats it for the pictures of the computer… but i noticed one thing while taking the pictures for this computer.. i got a mouse to go together with this computer and i did not know they compliment each other so perfectly…. the way they look.. and both of them seem to be made out of carbon fiber because both of them have the same design…. so if anyone out there owns an XPS M1730… i’ll recommend the Logitech G7 mouse to go with it because it looked like a match made in heaven.. XD

Thats all.. -Endz-

Free hugs

Recently my friend showed me this on youtube which is kindda cool.. hope you enjoy watching this.. 

 Oh yeah.. the music for this video clip is great.. addicted to it.. haha! its by Sick Puppies – All The Same.. The lyrics is below.. ^^

—-Start—

I don’t mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don’t like illusions I can’t see
Them clearlyI don’t care no I wouldn’t dare
To fix the twist in you
You’ve shown me eventually
What you’ll do

I don’t mind…
I don’t care…
As long as you’re here

Go ahead tell me you’ll leave again
You’ll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It’s all the same
And I’ll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It’s all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden

And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am

I don’t mind…
I don’t care…
As long as you’re here

Go ahead tell me you’ll leave again
You’ll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It’s all the same
And I’ll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It’s always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It’s all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It’s all the same

Go ahead say it you’re leaving
You’ll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It’s all the same
And I’ll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It’s all the same

Review – XPS M1730

Recently, thanks to my sis, she bought me a great laptop… XPS M1730.. Dual Nvidia 8700 GT 256RM each, C2D 2.2, 2gb ram, 17″ HD lcd screen… great computer and was totally impressed with it at first glance.. when i unboxed it…. i took some pics of the laptop.. below are the pics…

The first view of it outside.. it looked cool.. looks like having a carbon fiber casing but its actually plastic i think..haha!

This was when it was running the dell setup asking to enter the computer name, user name and stuff.. the proess took quite some time fo complete..

The keyboard had backlights which is good for me because i like using the computer with the lights off.. even though i done look a the keyboard much but it still helps because sometimes i can forget the position of the keys… especially when i’m too sleepy.. ^^

The laptop was loading up vista and you can see the wallpaper that dell provided together.. looks cool.. ^^

The only major thing i dont like about this laptop is the huge power adapter.. damn.. my feet is around size 8 – 9 and its almost as long as my feet.. crazy~~! can kill people with it.. >_>

 Testing the laptop, the first game i tried with max settings is Company of Heroes. It lagged~~~!!! DAMN! according to someone.. it seems that the first version had some problems with SLI and the second version of COH which is Opposing Fronts is much better.. Anyways.. waiting to get it from anyone who has it.. my comp only could support it when the resolution was set to 1600×1200 with medium graphics… when i set to 1929×1200 with max settings.. it started to lag.. >_< think cannot support that high resolution.. But 1600×1200 suits fine for me.. still good.. better than my current comp.. i tested 3Dbenchmark03 and it scored 268xx points… my old comp only manage to score around 7xxx plus.. so much difference.. maybe i might try upgrading the processor to a 2.8 next time when the price drops.. ^^ Anyways.. tried rainbow six with max settings and it lagged also.. sigh… but later i noticed that there was a program running in the background which was windows media player 11.. that could have caused the lag.. also due to the fact i’m running on vista.. another bummer.. sigh.. wanna change back to xp soon.. hope that i’m able to get the drivers from dell..

This laptop also has one of the best sound system i’ve heard from a laptop.. the clarity is great… it is also loud! i went to the kitchen and i left the music on and closed the door.. i could hear it clearly from the kitchen… when my friend was doing a video recording of the laptop with his hp… it recorded the music that was playing perfectly.. the clarity is superb~! Anyways.. thats the end of it.. -Endz-

Late updates – Bye Bye Gong Gong

Wow.. its been like 1 months plus.. coming to 2 months since i last blogged.. Been so busy the past 2 months till i had no time to blog.. now feeling a lil bit free.. i shall post a few post after a long time.. Anyways… the past month… my bro came back from australia with his wife, my sis came back from australia with her boyfriend, went to Singapore which is my first time being out of the country, Christmas Celebration, Grand dad passed away and i got a new laptop thanks to my Sis.. Thanks Carol!! ^^ as for my FYP…. its still stuck… cant do much.. but prolly after i’ve finished blogging.. i’ll prolly try to start on it.. 30 plus days left to finish it… sigh~~~

Starting on with my late grand dad… he passed away on a Saturday.. at first my parents told me i dont have to come back for the funeral.. but i still wanted to go back.. it would not be right for me not to go back and i don’t wanna regret it in the future not being able to come back to see him off the last time.. So.. after church on sunday… i drove back and i was totally exhausted because i was not able to sleep the night before.. contemplating whole night to go or not to go back.. reached back in the later afternoon around 4 and then i thought of seeing him straight.. but i ended up sleeping… its extremely hot in Sitiawan due to the fact that they cut down lots of trees and also because its near the sea… i could sweat indoors with the air conditioning on… anyways… ended up going for the night service which was all in hock chew.. din understand anything till my mom helped translate some parts of the sermon… when i went to look at him in the coffin.. he looked soo peaceful.. he was suffering the last 3 months due to a stroke… he was semi-consious but aware at times.. when i saw him bed ridden last time.. came in and shooke his hand and rubbed his head.. he managed to open his eyes.. and there are times when i could see tears in his eyes which i assume it is tears of joy.. anyways… i’m glad that he is not suffering anymore and hes up there with God..

 

This pic was taken quite some time back when he was still able to walk a lil.. i took him for a car ride after this picture.. Sigh.. the memories.. T.T -End-
