    Sweet I just got mine last friday. I love the white it's shame they had to bag it as a color option. How do you like it? Vista has treated me well so far well enough that I decided not to get xp.

    I'm so jealous :( I ordered a white at first, then canceled it and reordered over phone (where I ended up at getting a better config for much less money).. but the White color allready was gone back then, so i'm stuck with a black one =(

    I'd put it on eBay, make an absolute killing, and then use that money to purchase an upgraded spec in Black. :p

    The outlay for a premium M1330 could then be described to your better half as an investment. ;)

    Hehehe.

    dacaveman, yours look just like mine but mine has a 6-cell battery. I'll take more photos later. Vista is cool except it is slow booting up. I have installed Photoshop CS3. Office 2007 will be installed later this week and then Acrabat 8.

    I use Dell pouch to protect the case when not in use. The finished on the case is probably the same as a car finish. It got a clear coat.

    No, I have no problem with the noise. This unit is so quiet.

    Is my eyes playing tricks on me or is the outer shell pressed in a little at the top?

    It's a reflection. Photo was taken at low light so post process was needed to lighten up the photo.
