Joyful68 says "Dell XPS is an awesome computer." about Dell XPS M1330 Laptop

I recently purchase a Dell XPS and I love it. It is light weight and small so it fits comfortable in carrying case and does not weigh me down when I'm carring it. Its fast and the screen is easy on the eyes. The only thing that I dont like is that if I dont have it plugged in the screen is darker and harder to read. But for speed and size, its great. DVDs look great too. ...

missmassb says "The Dell XPS M1330 is perfect for anyone on the go!" about Dell XPS M1330 Laptop

The Dell XPS M1330 is perfect for anyone on the go. The 15" screen is the perfect size to check anything that you may need to check online or to do any work you may need to do on the go. The smaller screen on the M1330 as compared to the M1550 is a much better value for the money. The laptop does not get as hot as the M1550 and uses less power, not to mention the battery pack is much smaller and the weight of the M1330 is perfect. The Dell XPS M1330 is perfect for the traveler, the buisness person, the email checker or the graphic artist1...

rbblue says "Fast and light. A joy to use." about Dell XPS M1330 Laptop

I'm only a week in but so far I'm loving the Dell XPS M1330 (especially after suffing an HP laptop nightmare for the last year). The system doesn't come with much junk preinstalled and windows vista works well. No crashes so far.

Battery life is about 3 hours.

Critisms:
The card reader which doesn't take XD cards.
An additional battery would have been a lot more welcome than the fairly superflous things that came with the laptop:
- A huge manual in a fake leather folder (unopened).
- A nice fabric carry case (no point if you have a laptop bag).
- A pair of earphones to add to my collection...

sugs414 says "Great Laptop for your money the Dell XPS M1330" about Dell XPS M1330 Laptop

I love this laptop! The picture quality is wonderful. Sound is good for watching movies or playing music. I am not computer savy, but this computer was very easy to install programs on and set up. I got the red one and am very happy with my purchase. The standard windows is the new Vista which I am not too crazy about but slowly learning. The battery power lasts about five hours which is good, and having the wifi already installed is great for taking it anywhere to pick up a signal so I can get work done...

askrob says "Solid, but a little flawed" about Dell XPS M1330 Laptop

I have owned over 6 Dell laptops over the last 12 years. Throw in a Sony Vaio, IBM ThinkPad and an HP Pavilion, and I still think one could call me a Dell loyalist. For the last five years I owned a Dell Latitude D400. In spite of the some of its speed/power issues, it was great for its size, weight, style and build quality.

So when it came time to retire the Latitude, I looked at the Dell XPS 1330. Given its weight, speed and price, plus all of its touted bells and whistles, it seemed like the logical choice.

The System:

XPS M1330, Matte Black Casing

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.2GHz/800MhzFSB, 4M L2 Cache)

4GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm

13.3 Inch Wide Screen WXGA TL WLED Backlit LCD with Camera

320-5603 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS

250GB 5400RPM SATA HARD DRIVE

8X DVD+/-RW Slot Load Drive

56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery

85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Additional Battery

Dell Wireless 400, Ultra Wide Band Card

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium

Pros:

Weight, speed, power, style and overall...

Matt says "A few flaws, but overall, a mighty fine lightweight laptop" about Dell XPS M1330 Laptop

Matt — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:47:16 GMT

For the last 5+ years I have insisted on using IBM Thinkpads. I had a T60 and T40 (the tablet one) and found them to be extremely well made and very reliable and durable for lots of travel. However they are priced a bit high and now that they are owned by Lenovo, my loyalty to them has waned.

I recently attempted to upgrade the Lenovo T60 that I have I used continuously for the last 20 months to Vista and put some more memory in it. Long story for another review, but bottom line, I do not recommend that you do this. Vista is just not meant to run on machines not built for it.

In any case, I digress (before I even started!) because this review is about the Dell XPS M1330 that I recently purchased. ($1300 a Best Buy) Although M1330 does have some shortcomings vs the Thinkpad, I am largely very happy with it and given a few words of warning, would strongly recommend it.

The Dell XPS M1330 is a thirteen inch, lightweight laptop. It has much nicer styling than Dell typically has for...
