Dell Inspiron 6000 Review (pics, specs)

[Metamorphical]

I think the XPS M170 is the only Dell that doesn't come with the characteristic 'white bumpers' of the inspiron line. Yeah, I agree with you. It's not the prettiest dog in the show. The ram cover design has never bothered me. I think the vents on it probably help cool the machine. Mine gets warm but never to hot. I carry mine to work/school everyday. I don't think it's particularly heavy for a 15.4". But it does do its part when your carrying a bag full of books and other goodies to help break your back.

You can get Dell quicksnap covers. But they will only cover the silver/gray glittery part. Not the bumpers.

your right about the ram ventilation, but there are little legs to the left and right that allow it to slide because they are lower than the rubber feet.

where can i get the quicksnap covers? do they replace or go on top of the regular gray?

Ask and ye shall receive

They just snap over the top of your regular cover.

I have looked all over the web I originally got my inspiron 6000 with the 1.6Ghz pentium m ati x300 128mb graphics card but I would really like to up the processor does anyone know what socket it is? I've heard it's a socket 478 but on wikipedia It said something about pentium m's that were 479's I've been on newegg and they only have 478's. I think it's odd that they would use a dead/dying socket on (not the best) but a fairly nice processor. I'm thinking about just getting a service manual if I can't find it out anywhere else. Hopefully you guys can help me out here
