The Dell XPS M1530 exceeds my expectations of what a laptop is capable of. I've always been a desktop user, but found that I needed to branch out for my business. I was skeptical of laptops and always followed the notion that they are not as fast, capable, or reliable as a desktop. Boy - was I wrong! This laptop is better than any desktop I've ever owned!

The reason why I chose this laptop was because I am a graphic designer and I needed something that would allow me to illustrate my designs at top speed. I also use a variety of CAD software (since I am an event planner) and needed something that could handle the often large files.

I upgraded some options on the computer, including putting 4 GB of RAM, upping the hard drive speed, graphics card, and battery. I recommend other customers do the same.
