Keyboard Dell Vostro

Should I get the Dell Vostro 1310 or a Lenovo ThinkPad SL400?

I need a student-oriented laptop, sensibly priced. I want 1) long battery life 2) lot of RAM(without supplementing) 3)durability. A nice keyboard+chassis and a good multimedia system would be a great plus, though IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A GAMING LAPTOP.

I've narrowed it down to these two, so which one would you recommend over the other?
Also, the dealership I'm getting it from is offering them at a comparable price.

The thinkpad should last 10 years and they are very durable.
They are known for quality so i'd say go for them.
.
I have to reply to what randy said by telling him thinkpads are higher quality, last longer and more reliable than macbooks and overall have better performance.

Review: Dell Vostro 3700 Notebook PC
Forget the desktop PC: Dell's Vostro 3700 has a 17-inch screen, plenty of features and an affordable price. With the latest Intel Core i7 CPU, it might be the best small business computer you've owned.

Dell Vostro V13 no optical drive!?

Does Dell Vostro V13 have internal optical drive? Because I only viewed "Optional External USB Optical Drive" on the technical specifications.
If it has no internal optical drive, then with its slim design, it is a bug without internal optical drive.
See link: http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/notebooks/vostro-v13/pd.aspx?refid=vostro-v13&s=bsd&cs=04.
Which model of Dell laptop is the best and cheap to buy? I need for home/business use.
Please help me choose one online!

Thanks a bunch!

It has no optical drive that is why it is thin and light. The full featured one and with more powerful processor is the 1520: http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/notebooks/laptop-vostro-1520/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-vostro-1520&s=bsd&cs=04

Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter buying guide

The typical laptop power supply is powered via an AC outlet. Smaller units plug directly into the outlet, making them extremely convenient for people on the go. Because they are designed with travelers in mind, these chargers usually work with both 100 and 220 volt outlets without the need for an adapter. Cheaper chargers require an external converter in the form of a power brick, which sends electricity to the Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter via a power cord.
While heating one of the contacts, remove the solder from this contact using the desoldering pump. Repeat the same steps with all Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter power jack contacts until you remove as much solder as possible.
Grab the Dell AC Adapter power jack and carefully try removing it from the motherboard. Most likely you will not be able to remove the power jack the first time because there will be some solder bridges left between the contacts and traces on the motherboard. Carefully wiggle the Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter power jack without applying any significant force and at the same time heat up all contacts one by one. This will help you to remove the power jack.
The DC power jack is almost removed from the motherboard.
Be careful. Inside the positive hole there is a copper sleeve witch connects the terminal on one side of the motherboard with the traces on the other side. If you are removing the Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter power jack with force, you can pull the sleeve from the hole. You don’t want to do that.
After the Dell AC Adapter power jack is replaced test it before you assemble the laptop. Install the system board in the laptop base, connect the CPU and the cooling fans if you removed it before (it’s not necessary to remove the CPU and fans if you want to replace the jack). Connect an external monitor and turn on the laptop (the Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter power button is located on the system board). If everything is OK, the laptop should start and you’ll get Toshiba logo on the monitor.

Cover Protector Dell

No cover screen for dell inspiron 1545?

I was wondering why dell doesn't supply screen cover for the laptops. I have lots of finger prints on my screen, I tried to wipe it with a bit of water on a cloth but second day is like before...lots of dust. I searched on internet for screen protectors but looks that's nothing for 15.6"

Use endust anti static screen cleaner to keep dust from collecting on thd screen

Dell Media

Why does Dell Media Direct keep starting?

Everytime I open up my Dell 6400 laptop, Dell Media Direct starts even though I haven't pushed the button. I have never even used the program before.
If I press exit on Dell Media Direct it just closes then starts up again straight away, and I can't get to Windows. I have tried taking out the battery, letting the battery run out but nothing works.
Any help would be appreciated!

Remove the hinge cover and reseat it and then check out if it turns on,if the same problem happens you need to call dell technical support.check out if the media direct button is stuck in.But please reseat the hinge cover, the whole rectangular steel part, just on top of the keyboard.You can find a notch at the right hand side, just use a flat head screw driver to lift it and pry it upwards and take it out.then reseat it.if this doesnt help then you may have to install the os or may have to replace the motherboard in rare cases.

hope this helps.

Goodluck.

Dell Lto4 Worm Tape

Proprietary software of encryption makes the existing multifaceted process of data retrieval and archiving more complex and is also expensive. The organizations have to make sure that the custody chain remains unbroken. Therefore the businesses have to prove that the fixed long term data content that include images (point in time), scanned contracts and E-mails remain in their original form throughout the duration of time they are stored. The serious threats to the saved data can be exposure of critical enterprise records, loss or theft of private information. These breaches of data security can more costly for the organizations than the regulatory penalties like the loss of consumer’s confidence that can lead to big loss for the company.

Dell LTO4 tape technology is designed specifically to avoid these kinds of scenarios. The WORM technology already has been introduced in the LTO3 tape format strengthens the security features. WORM technology makes the process of data storage more cost effective. WORM feature in Dell LTO-4 format does not allow modification of data after it has been recorded onto the LTO tape cartridge. This additional control and security level is achieved with the help of encoding formula that is included during in the LTO-4 tape media during its manufacturing in order to avoid tampering.

Encryption of data at the device level is another advantageous advancement introduced in Dell LTO-4 tape devices the further strengthens the security and protection of valuable data for longer time period. Encryption at device level makes the archive management more efficient and raises the performance as well. It lowers the total cost of ownership as the encryption is done by the integrated hardware at the tape drive’s line speed. Therefore the Dell LTO 4 tape technology eliminates the requirement for costly proprietary software of encryption and additional encryption hardware. The data once received by the LTO-4 tape drive is encrypted internally and the integrity of data is ensured during the processes of deciphering & enciphering. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the foundation of the hardware encryption of Dell LTO 4 technology.

Advanced Encryption Standard describes the cryptographic algorithm’s utilization with symmetrical cipher block operation mode which decrypts and encrypts the data by the use of binary fields. Afterwards the process of encryption is authenticated to protect the electronic information. Information through the encryption process in converted into cipher text which is garbled and obscure text form. The encryption technology makes the data unintelligible. When the data is needed to be deciphered, a mechanism of decryption transforms the information to its original form. Advanced Encryption Standard hardware is designed to encrypt the data at low cost with high speed. Information is decrypted and encrypted in blocks by the use of cryptographic keys. "Bits" is the unit of the cryptographic keys. Speed of data transfer depends on the cryptographic keys’ speed. Algorithm of AES uses 256 bit, 192 bit and 128 bit cryptographic keys for decrypting & encrypting the data in blocks of 128 bit. A secret key (256 bit) is employed by the Dell LTO4 tape products that enable the process of encryption after receiving the host data.
