Since the launched of the attractive Dell XPS M1330 in June 26th, I decided to give Dell a try and ordered mine today! I get very excited because my M1330 estimated delivery date is on September 25th. I have read many bad reviews about the delivery delay so I was a bit worried because I will be traveling around for the next 2 months and have no fix address. Some have get out that ridiculous queue and I guess people need to be patient, especially when a brand new, cutting edge product launched, you have to allow them time to ramp up production and such!

Before purchasing this laptop, I was looking for something that’s portable - small, light weight and well build to replace my 6 years old laptop - Asus M2400 series . Being portable means I’m able to take this on the road with me and hookup to the free wifi spots and do my work on the fly.

My system was purchased with the following configuration:

• Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T7100
• 1.8 GHz, 2MB cache, 800 MHz FSB
• 13.3″ UltraSharp Widescreen WXGA display with TrueLife 2.0MP Webcam
• 2GB (2x 1024MB) 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
• 160GB HDD
• 6-cell battery
• Dell Travel remote control
• Window Vista Home Premium with AERO experience
• Duo core & Intel Wireless
• Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module
• 36 months McAfee

Total price: $1,193USD before tax

I was debating upon XPS, MacBook or Compaq Presario B1217… because I really need a portable laptop with a slot drive. I’m a huge fan of these drives, and I choose the XPS over MacBook because of the weight & huge memory, & Compaq because of the slot-load DVD burner.

I don’t use my XPS for gaming purpose so I don’t think I need NVIDIA® graphic card and prefer the default Intel® memory card. I don’t have a fingerprint reader palmrest because I can’t wait for 6-8 weeks of delivery! If I din travel within the next 2 months, I will definitely wait for it!

If you’re like me, want top performance and portable for a fair price, Dell XPS M1330 should be on your short list!
