Dell Vostro 1400 Review

[pufftissue]

I think that the battery life being at 6.5 hours must be with the notebook idling completely.

I was just in a coffee shop surfing with it at 35-40% brightness, and I think that it would go about 4 hours.

I was in powersaver mode.

I hope the notebook suits your needs in the present and the future.

Does your 1400 have the buzzing noise in the headphone jack, like a lot of 1500 users have reported?

You sure you got the right screen? Looks matte to me.

Nice review, and very nice notebook! How is the build quality compared to say, the Asus A8 or the HP dv2500? Its nice that they have improved it over the predecessor, but whats more important is how it stacks up against its competitors.

At first, based on the thread at asusreviews.com, I thought that you had gotten an M1330 (except that was Goren, I think - I got my mods mixed up ), which is why I asked how you managed to get it for $650...

do a side by side comparison of the screen against your e1404 screen

What was the laptop doing when you got 6.5 hours? What brightness, was wifi on?
