Work on getting the new tablet in-house amigo

I suspect it will be too expensive, might be worth a try and buy tho.

Thanks for the info Matt. I've already got the tracking number for the waybill Clarke sent you, so I'll be able to track the return and make sure it gets to me.

Having looked at both the M1330 (nice lightweight system) and the Latitude XT (tablet/notebook about the size of a D620), its a tough call which I would prefer if I could afford to get one right now. Both have their own distinct advantages, depending on what you would be using them for.

Really impressed with how this was tracked and resolved Larry - hope you stick around for awhile

**madmatt** · October 14th, 2007

Larry, it was a hectic week and I didn't have time to drop the return, but I made time yesterday morning. It probably won't show up in the system until tomorrow.

DellCA · October 15th, 2007

The delay is not a problem. Thanks for the update. I will keep an eye on it and make sure it gets to me, and then the engineers. What install is on the drive right now? The factory image, or your installation (so I know what to expect when I get it)?

Larry, I license and use Vista Enterprise. I reformatted the system (over and over in attempts to resolve the issue) and installed Enterprise. Since I was shipping it back I installed Business (it shipped with Business) and the drivers. It took roughly four hours (no joke) to get the OS and drivers back on. Open up the Event Viewer and you will see what I am talking about; actually just starting it up will probably be enough.

DellCA · October 17th, 2007

Yeah, I just got it today and fired it up to see what happens. It starts faster in Safe Mode, but still has ... issues. I'll see what I can find out, then pass it on the engineers (on Friday most likely). I don't know how long they will need to play with it to find out what is wrong.

Have you run into any problems with the latest M1330?

Larry, the new one works perfectly. I am very happy with it. Thank you.

You also told me you bought a new car, yet I haven't seen photos.

**madmatt** · October 19th, 2007

Larry, could you please provide me with the waybill number? I threw it out when you said you received it but now ARB is asking for it.

Thanks.

Sorry about that Matt. I'll contact ARB to let them know what is going on with the system and the tracking number for the return.

I just got the system over to the engineers (fun with paperwork delayed things). Hopefully they will be able to figure out why the system behaves the way it does soon.

I was thinking about that notebook yesterday, wondering what happened with it.
