Dell XPS M1530 Laptop —
Just purchased the XPS m1530 for small business, online and personal use rather than the more obvious gaming use. It has already surpassed my expectations so much that using other desktops and laptops seems very restricting. It has memory, speed, and even with Vista glitches is better than any of our other computers. I highly recommend it. It is a little heavier than I thought it would be but all the advantages far outweigh that-no pun intended, I didn't intend to stop using the desktop computer when I ordered this but I have. The sleek design and features like the fingerprint ID scan lend themselves to professional uses and security. The quality of photos, videos & music is high & very attention-getting. There are plenty of USB ports for any number of connections from wireless mouse to syncing with a smartphone. The only negatives have been the loud fan and bottom heat when used for an extended period of time and the awkward location of the wireless on/off switch.
