Anyone know how to adjust luminosity while in battery mode? Damn thing tones down while in battery mode and if it's too light (like outside) I can't see shit...

Thanks in advance.

It's a BIOS setting, as mentioned - unless you run the Dell software under Windows, which lets you also arbitrarily set it.

The blue colored symbols/words on the keys are activated when you press with the fn-key.

Most likely halves the battery time. Still, I rarely use it on batteries and even when I do it's for very short periods, so it annoys the fuck out of me when I can't work properly for that short period of time.

I love it. I have XP on it, with 2GB RAM. Make sure you call them and ask for a 7200RPM HDD, they normally come with 5400RPM SATA ones.

I've had mine for several months now, it rocks, dell inspiron 1501, got's lots of cool features, I get the big battery for it, but rarely use it

check out that Fn key and all those keys painted blue. you'll discover a lot of new functions.
