    Been lurking for a while, posting a bit too. This forum is a great resource, and I just wanted to thank everyone for intelligent discussion while deciding on a laptop.

    Probably not the best or most efficient machine out there, but something that really fit my wants and needs. I salute you laptop gurus!



    I ended up with:

    XPS M1530 $1301.50

    Intel C2D T9300 (2.5GHz/800MHz FSB, 6M L2 Cache)
    4GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm, for XPS M1530
    15.4 inch Wide Screen WUXGA TrueLife LCD with 2.0 MP Camera
    256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
    320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive with Free Fall Sensor
    8X DVD+/-RW Slot Load Drive
    Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Mini Card
    85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery

    Congrat's on your purchase of your new 1530! :D

    The spec's are fine, it's what you chose! I have sort of similar specs in my 1530!! ;)

    I think you will really enjoy it once you finally receive it, and make it your own!

    When is your Estimated Shipping Date? Now, you just have to wait for it to move thru being built, and shipped off to you.

    Good phone number to remember: 1-800-433-9014!!
    (Dell Automated Order Status line)..Yes, I know that one by heart!! :eek: :D

    Congrat's again!

    Cin ;) :)
