i like this laptop but i have one question i would love to get answered. I cannot get my keyboard to have the backlight, is there not one on there or how do you activate it?
@JU4M10 será cosa del de la tienda que lo tendra ya al limite, lo que es el mio lo he tenido dias sin apagar y sin calentarse nada de nada, en verano ahora e llegado a tenerlo a 38º y tampoco se ha calentado nada...no se... un saludo
quick question will i be able to run world of warcraft on this ? and to someone who asked "no cd drive" you dont get note books with cd drive u just buy external ones.... the cd drives what adds weight and bulk.
los botones ke estan x el lado del wifi ocupan el espacio ke deberia llevar la unidad de CD ROM, es una desventaja para tan bonita compu, otra cosa es mini? ahh y le kisieron copiar el diseño del teclado ala vaio
@obnoxiouswing es bastante pequeño si, muy muy fino, bastante ligero... y poco mas, yo la verdad que solo e necesitado una vez la unidad cd.rom...pero conecte una externa que me compre por 15 euros y listo...
Ayer compre esa laptop en SAM'S CLUB y me salio en $6500 considero que fue buen precio es la ventaja de ir seguido ya que me llevado en este mes tres buenas laptops del mismo nivel que esta.Saludos a todos los amantes de la tecnologia.
Under heavy load It is true about the fan noise on the dm3 / amd version, the fan is still not able to be heard over the laptop speakers, however, if it is a concern to anyone, intel chipset version is much more quiet then the amd - BUT im not sure it comes with the radeon video set =( if it did i would have bought the intel version.
the dm3 replaced my desktop, specs on my 3 year desktop; 1gig ram, 80 gig hd, 128megs video, 1.6ghz 32bit AMD single core. i dont buy a new computer everytime something better comes out, but for my needs this laptop replaces my old desktop in every aspect. DM3 specs; 1.6ghz AMD 64bit duelcore, 4gigs ram, 512megs dedicated video, (for some reason the box says 128megs video, but after running a 3d benchmark the specs came back reading 512 physical dedicated graphics memory???) HDMI output is nice!
yeah i got mine for 498$ at wal mart right befor christmas, it was the last one they had also. great price even at retail, of course i wish i could have picked mine up for 350! great buy man!
notebooks or net-books touch pad positioning must be on right corner i don't understand that laptop manufactures y they don't try something new that easily accessible area with wrist pain
the touchpad is a pain. first of all its mirror. so it gets fingerprints like crazy. since its smooth, you don't really get any kind of grit feel, or kind of texture that helps prevent slipping. also, its supposably bad functioning.
got mine a week ago. the touchpad isn't nearly as horrible as some reviews claim it is. while i do agree that it's a little too smooth, you'll get used to it. I bought the most exp config, the 1015tx, and it's well worth every penny.
@darwinners: unfortunately there isn't a 15" model. the dm3 is marketed as a "thin-and-light", so yeah.
@silverboots: in my opinion, the dm3 is more than appropriate for a student, it's IDEAL. :D and i say so cause i'm a student myself lol
Just picked one of these up from Walmart for $498. It's a great looking machine, feels solid and is well designed. Great performance, acceptable weight vs. speed trade-off. Beautiful display. The touchpad is shiny but has plenty of traction. HDMI port is a fantastic nice-to-have feature. Best laptop I've had in a very long time, after owning MacBook, ThinkPads, Dells, Toshibas, and the rest. This is the best price point / performance laptop I've ever owned.
i know i don't want to look at myself in the mirror....im ugly lmao...they did mess it up with that touchpad and it looks kinda cheap and plasticky.....its fast but a more attractive laptop is hp mini 311
This with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and 2.26GHz, for 844.99, is perfect for me. Thats the strongest config for a computer this size, which appeals to me the most, as well as the design which is great.
just got it and it a well balanced computer...looks, quality, specs....here are some cons: it can be a little smaller (like 12" wide), it can weight a little less, The Neo dual core can get hot like the old macbook pro depending what you do. I got it for $528 at walmart so it's worth the price for what you're getting. It's powerful enough to do everything including light gaming.
HP is making better quality laptop but without the macbook price tag....macbook are quality laptop but the price are too high and u pay even more for apple high price accessories.
A lot of companies are starting to lean towards the Apple design.. HP especially. That's what I love about them. They offer products that can offer the same "simple" look, but with the compatibility that Windows offers. I've always had HP laptops.
Then get a thin and light with a cd drive, they exist, they just don't look as good for the money. Or you could put one in your laptop case for the 3% of the time you actually need one, though I realize spending those extra few seconds it would take to connect it would be a strain to some (cripples). I understand, go spend 1.2k on the 13" mbp.
I configured a dm3 at HP's site to the same specs as one you would buy from a store and it came out to over 700 dollars so this is a pretty good deal for a laptop. You get 4gb of ram, 320gb 7200 RPM not 5400 RPM, blue tooth, dual core, great looks and LED screen and longer battery life for 600 us dollars. Only thing missing is the optical drive but that keeps the helps increase battery life and I find myself rarely using a drive. I'll be getting it this December hopefully.
