    Just wanted to make my first post, and say hello to the forum members.

    I ordered a 1530 last week, and hope to get it soon, although, there are delays. My old Inspiron 8600 has treated me well over the last four years(aside from a failed HDD a few months ago), and hope the XPS will be even better.

    Thanks for reading, and here are the specs......
