    Hello Everyone,

    Once again i decided to be back at NBR Forums :)

    Well, I wanted something new to replace my XPS m1210. I'd like to have the M1330.

    Well, is it good purchasing a M1330?

    Please do share with me your good & bad stuff regarding it.

    Buy/Not Buy it?

    I love my M1330, Its Great and I'd advise anyone considering one to buy it . Especially seeing as your coming from an M1210. I haven't had any bad experiences with it at all either. I think it's just that when someone notices something wrong they post on the forum about it but when someone gets a great M1330 who would make a post saying " Got my M1330 every things fine" I think all build quality issues etc are mainly fixed :D

    i own m1330 since november 07 and i'm happy with it, but recently my dvd drive stopped reading dvds. i think i had a bad luck. anyway i can only recommend m1330. and skip on fingerprint reader - it is useless for home users and sometimes it doesnt work well

    Ive ordered my max spec M1330.
    Even thinking of selling my M1730 below, and buying a PS3 & Wii for games etc instead....
