Unboxing of Dell Inspiron 1420

It's 2008, with the reach of my new Dell Inspiron 1420

My new laptop just sent to my hometown last and last Friday. I am so excited to own my very first laptop. I have been wishing for a laptop for so long time, and now, I finally got one with specs I want. ^^

hehehe... it's a backpack... quite big isn't it...
it's a backpack for 15.4' screen laptop, but mine only 14.1'... never mind lo.. just cost me RM50... ^^ worth still....
Inside the box:
spring green colour... some of the cds inside... and wires...
look at this, a lot cds right?
McAfee, drivers and utility and window vista basic sp1 cds...


It's in green apple colour.
of course all the green aren't look dull.
Brand new DELL... Inspiron 1420... ^^


My last new laptop image here to share...

can't wait to customize my laptop into my unique one!!!

(Text below was added on 21st Aug 2012)
Total price of this online customized specification: RM4000
Processor: Intel T9300 - 2.5GHz (duo core)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
RAM: 2GB

In 2008, this spec was considered as a quite high-end spec.
But the downside of this model of Dell is the graphic processor can bring harm to the whole motherboard as you can see it happens on almost every laptop of the same model.

That means, however you protect this laptop, it goes faulty one day, and you have to spend extra more for this laptop. And extending the warranty cost RM400 per year. And so far, I've spent RM1300 for the warranty, and so the total price of this laptop (together with the price of warranty I spent) is RM5300 (around US$1700).

I am regret of buying this model because with the same price, I can get a MacBook at the time i bought this laptop.
So, moral of this lesson, survey well before every is too late, otherwise, you'll regret. Control your desire, don't get controlled by it...

1st post for my brand new blog

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my brand-new blog! It’s been quite a while since my last post on Windows Live Space, and a lot has happened since then.

Just yesterday, I returned home from the University of Technology Malaysia (UTM) in Johor. The journey was long—I left UTM at 7:15 PM and didn’t get home until 1 AM on Saturday—but it was well worth it.

My first month at UTM has been nothing short of exciting. I’ve had the pleasure of living and learning alongside a group of wonderful friends. Their names are too many to list here, but their impact on my daily life is significant. We’ve shared countless conversations and had many fun moments together—yes, we sometimes go a little crazy, but that’s all part of the fun!

Our lecturers seem to enjoy teaching just as much as we enjoy learning. As computer science students, we tend to grasp new concepts quickly, which makes each class engaging and interactive—a true win-win situation!

One of the highlights of coming home, though, has been escaping the not-so-great food at UTM. For the next week, I get to enjoy my mom’s cooking, which is a treat I’ve been looking forward to.

Looking ahead, I have a mid-term break filled with study sessions for two upcoming tests and five assignments. Even with a busy schedule, I find life exciting and full of reasons to stay motivated.

How about you? What were your first impressions if you’ve ever been away for school or a long course? Let’s share and reflect on our experiences in the comments below!

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to sharing more stories with you.
