Dell Latitude PP01L Repairs

[RetroGamerVX]

Somehow, missed this video, wow, that's one ill looking dell :o(

Yes, after years of use, somebody would think that my laptops had never been used as I use a usb keyboard and trackball, never really touch the laptop :o)

Came out looking good :o) Never owned a dell laptop, always had hps, but do like them :o) Is it the XPs that was the performance one? If you could get your hands on one of them, that would be interesting to see :o)

Uh, the title of this video is "Dell Inspiron PP01L". Just thought i'd point that out. In the video, that laptop is a Latitude PP01L.

I love having the trackpoint, they're fantastic on thinkpads, but they suck on dells, they tend to drift all over the place after heavy usage.

[kbhasikevin]

Thumbs up if you love trackpoints!

[kbhasikevin]

I want a external trackpoint!!!!!!! My old broken AST had that but I want one on my touchsmart tx2! And the aforementioned one for my acer desktop!

[Toshiba9068]

Why did you call it an Inspiron instead of a Latitude?

[ncrdisabled]

I loved the trac point I missed it after NCR took my thinkpad back and replaced it with a DELL laptop. I used it all the time it was a real shame I could not buy it I heard they were all sold in a bulk auction . It a shame when companies do that.

@ncrdisabled

well good laptops arent exactly easy to find in the Wasteland. Youre lucky the New California Republic at least had a Dell to give you

[ncrdisabled]

@AlfredRusselWallace I am sorry I should have given a little more info I was working for NCR National Cash Register at the time when ATT bought it and called it ATT-GIS and a few years later was sold back to NCR . I was given a laptop from the first day I went to work for them in the late 80s I was given a dell laptop the a Panasonic touphbook

and was told all the dells were sold in a bulk auction . I am now disabled from that company after I was working on a ATM and hit by a van .

"Another Dell" lol. Is there a particular reason why you keep running into them? :-)

[HBeagley]

I love the trackpoint! Rather use them instead of a Touchpad. Find them easier to use especially if your computing on the road and got limited space like on a Bus.

[camerongray1515]

I agree with people not knowing about trackpoints. My ThinkPad L512 has one and I have lost count of the number of people that ask what it is when I'm sitting using my laptop!

[Dell0304]

Oh and I HATE that cursor problem! I had it on my second & third Dell laptops. So annoying. I would have cut the cable if I knew how to take apart the keyboard.

[Dell0304]

What do u mean "sorry guys?" I want all the Dell I can get! LOL

[mikeycomputer]

Oh, I had a run-in with a similar model a while back. It kept locking up for no apparent reason. Turns out the RAM card in it went bad. Easy fix.

[raymangold22]

I really liked my thinkpad's trackpoint. Once you get used to it, it's infinitely better than a touchpad, and the next best thing to a mouse in my opinion.

Yeah people who never seen them before go crazy. There was a fellow who ended up staring at the red trackpoint on my thinkpad for a good minute after I came back...

[gmcnewlook]

i had a toshiba with a trackpoint, i hated that thing, i had an external mouse with it, and i still prefer external mice with my laptops to this day even with with trackpads now common

I have a C600! Mine I got for $80 from a computer repair shop. It is barely used. Is that A Good deal or what!?

[andruha11234]

@skypedog221 i wouldn't say that is a good deal.. i got a Samsung n310 netbook from craigslist for like 80 bucks and it has 802.11n, 160gb hdd, 1.66 atom cpu, 10.1 screen.. etc... much better than a 12 year old laptop.

[talldude123]

Sorry for posting again, but $150 for a 40GB IDE hard drive? WOW! I remember those days! Now, a 40GB SSD would cost less!

[talldude123]

Oh, and it turns out yours is the C600, Brandon.

[ipeters61]

@talldude123 It has an XP COA. Too new to be a C600. I had a C600 with a Windows 98SE COA. Maybe a C610 (P3) or C640 (P4)?

[talldude123]

I wouldn't mind an old laptop like that one for playing old video games. The newer laptops don't do that as well.

[a5e26]

i had a desktop computer and it was decent i sold it to my uncle and i don't even miss it haha

[JawhnL5]

Another Dell...

[TheRocker894]

I like it when you due Dells though....
