    Hi, I have a question regarding the XPS M1330. I've heard that it has overheating problems and I was wondering if it happends often. Also what steps can one make to prevent overheating prblems? I'm thinking of purchasing an XPS M1330 but I am worried about it overheating. Does anyone know if Dell corrected this problem?

    Intel video based M1330 XPS are not so one could go for that option or if one gets a nvida based M1330 XPS you can updated to the current bios of A015, used the latest video drivers and do the Copper Mod to the video chip and or under volting your rig.
    Topics on such things have been covered in this forum already.. :D
    No Dell have not corrected this problem as such only bios update which kicks your fan in more often then before and video drivers.. But if your M1330 dies after you warranty there is a years grace extension only for faulty motherboards and cooling units due to the video burn outs..
