    Hi,
    I just ordered an XPS 1340 with the following specs:

    P9600 2.66ghz
    6GB Ram
    320GB (7200) HD
    Bluetooth module
    Dell 1325 wireless
    WLCD screen (w/ 1.3 MP cam)
    Geforce 9500M (really a GE)

    Reading through this forum naturally has given me pause for concern. I got what I think is a good deal on this refurb ($780 shipped after Bing cashback). I like the size/form factor of a 13" / ~5lb laptop. However, I don't like to swap computers frequently so I want to make sure I'm 'ok' for the long term.

    Are there any tests I should perform to see if mine suffers from common issues discussed here? I have a 3-day no questions asked return window, so I could crank on it over the weekend (arrives tomorrow).

    Thanks in advance!
