Dell Inspiron 1420 - Some matters?

Hi all,

I have just bought a new performance Inspiron 1420 at Malaysia:
- 2.00 Ghz, 4 Mb L2, 800 MHz T7300 CPU.
- 2 x 1Gb RAM 667 MHz
- 128MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GS
- 160 Gb SATA HDD
- 14.1” WXGA Display with TrueLife

And I have some questions about this one:
1. What's the chipset main board of this model?
2. What's the different between Mainstream and Performance model of Inspiron 1420 (Malaysia)?
3. How can I check the TrueLife feature of the monitor?
4. I saw a slot like as a SD memory or SIM slot near by the battery slot (after I removed the battery). I don't know what it is?
5. I have read some reviews from PCWorld.com about this model. They said that it can run Doom3 and FarCry game with acceptable quality on 256 MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GS. So how's about my model?

Is there anyone who is using the same model to me?
Anyone can answer is welcome.

Thanks so much!

    Hi Luxife,
    1. What's the chipset main board of this model?
    Intel Crestline P965
    2. What's the different between Mainstream and Performance model of Inspiron 1420 (Malaysia)?
    This is categores by Dell it's ownself. If Dell think is selling with a high spec then the others spec so they categorise mainstream and performance
    3. How can I check the TrueLife feature of the monitor?
    Truelife is the screen will reflective. Non truelife screen that the surface of the screen is non reflective
    4. I saw a slot like as a SD memory or SIM slot near by the battery slot (after I removed the battery). I don't know what it is?
    that is a SIM card slot. In Malaysia Market there do not have the service provided. This service is avaiable in Aus support by Vodafon and Singapore coming soon. This is a Sim card that can access to internet as well as phone call too.
    5. I have read some reviews from PCWorld.com about this model. They said that it can run Doom3 and FarCry game with acceptable quality on 256 MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GS. So how's about my model?
    regarding the games. I will not comfirm on this as PCWorld.com is base on their own system configuration as well as there might not having 3rd party s/w to slowing down the system performance. Especially Ms Vista. I got XPS1330 that using Vista play Fifa2008 that lag. But i use Windows XP there is no problem. IT depand the OS issue on this.

    Dear Leecheeyau;

     

    Yes, regarding the Q number 4, is there any way to activate the SIM module as most of cellular provider here in Malaysia already offering the mobile internet broadband.

     

    Thanks.

    Hi nod0ubt,

     

    Currently in Malaysia market, Service Provider current do not have this kind of the service avaiable at this moment. Aus and SG is coming soon that provided by vodafon.

     

    If want to use this service, once we subscribe from vodafon, there will give us a start up kit. there are users account, sim card, user manual, setup software and the WWAN card that need to slot into the notebook in order to use this service.

    HI nod0ubt,

     

    In Malaysia there is don't have at this moment. Due to the service not avaiable in Malaysia. The card is a rare item in Malaysia too. Let's wait for the service avaiable then purchase will be fine.
