Count me in, I just got my shiny new laptop for christmas!
![]() Dell Inspiron 1545 CPU: 2.1 GHz T4300, 1MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB. Rated 5.3 by Windows 7 RAM: 4 GB DDR2-800, 6-6-6-18 in dual channel. Rated 5.3 GPU: Intel's 4500MHD, rated 4.1 for graphics, 3.4 for gaming graphics. HDD: 320 GB Samsung 5400 RPM, rated 5.7 Screen: 1366x768, 15.6", gloss coating. Battery: 6-cell 44whr li-ion battery, in Power Saver mode its good for about 2-4 hours of web browsing. Pics: ![]() ![]() Overall I'm pretty happy with it, it cost AU$900 with Office 2007 Home & Student, I use it for web browsing, text editing, watching videos, and even some light gaming. The cooling on it is adequate, keeping the CPU below 60C at all times and usually idling at 30-40C. The fan is practically inaudible when idling, but does become fairly loud when it needs to cool down, which it does in short bursts. The keyboard is nice to type on, the touchpad is pretty good to use and the buttons for it are very nice full-throw switches. It has enough ports for the job (3 USB, Ethernet, VGA, mic/headphone), and an expansion card slot, an SD card reader. The webcam is 1.3 megapixel (I think) and has an inbuilt LED for low-light operation, as well as a stereo microphone array. The laptop is fairly light, thinner than my old one, and the screen is quite nice to look at (unless there's glare. glare is evil). Performance is great once its started up, taking about a minute to a minute and a half to go from powering on to being able to launch apps. I might run some benchmarks later... Question: Is there any way to overclock/get more performance from the Intel IGP? I'd like to be able to run TF2 with less lag, or a higher resolution (it currently runs DX8, all low settings, 800x600 at ~20-40 FPS).

i must say,i love the design of new dell laptops i would definitely purchase dell laptops over their desktops.
i would say you could of probably got better laptop for the price you paid but yeah i still would get that dell laptop since it looks amazing. I don't think you can overclock intergrated graphics,and to be honest with you error intel intergrated gpu for laptop is terrible =( I don't think you should try use it for light gaming,maybe to play super old games like diablo 2 or something in that line.

Well I've managed to get TF2 running at playable frame rates, HL2, gmod and Portal all run fine, and EVE Online runs good on medium settings. I also bought the ID Games Pack on Steam, so now I've got stuff like DOOM and Return to Castle Wolfenstien to play (which it managed to run at max settings).
I've still got my main rig for serious gaming though. I reckon I could've gotten a better laptop for the price, but my parents kind of sprang it on me. I'm happy with it though, it was able to run EVE Online for 2 hours on battery (which I found out by accident). And no luck overclocking anything on it, but it'd probably overheat anyway. The cooling system works fine, but only for what its got.

Hey guys in the laptop club, haven't been here much lately but thought I'd lean on you for some help
![]() My Samsung NP-Q45 notebook was running on battery today, the battery had recently been fully charged. Then it died suddenly. It will not switch back on on battery power. It runs fine when plugged in to the wall, both with and without the battery connected, but unplug it and it loses all power. The indicator light on the front glows red to indicate it is plugged in and charging. The icon in windows indicates the battery 74% available and charging. However, this number does not increase, so it seems the battery is not actually charging. The battery has a charge indicator on it, normally you press the button and up to 5 lights come on to show the % charge. Now, I push the button and 3 of the 5 lights flash 3 times and go out. This occurs whether the battery is connected or not. My best guess is the battery is stuffed. Any other possibilities or ideas to try? Thanks.

Cuzza try cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser. They might have oxidized over time.

Is there enough laptop members on TPU that might need LCDs and motherboards?
Nice lappy Don.
