Dell XPS M1330 Laptop Review

I had a really hard time deciding what laptop to buy. I like the Apple brand but frankly get tired of all the hype, and I was looking for something fairly light weight, pretty, easy-to-use, configurable and with media options. This laptop has it all :). I opted for the pink color, although really like the black too. Because it was configurable, I could choose the amount of memory, what type of hard drive, sound and video card etc. (Okay, I had a more tech-savvy friend tell me what I wanted based on my usage, but it was great to have the options.) I loaded Microsoft Office Professional 2007 on it because that's what I'm used to from work, but I also found a free office suite online which worked great in the interim if you don't want to spend the money. One of my favorite things about the XPS M1330 is the easy-to-use music software. There's even a handy little remote control to let you control your playlists that fits into the side of the unit. The sound quality when hooked up to speakers is great. The other thing I love is the ability to find shows or videos online (my current favorite is MLB live games), hook the laptop up to my TV, and watch the streaming video on the big screen. There are rarely any delays and I can access much more material this way. It also came with built in microphone and webcam, so I can video chat for free with my family in other countries.
