    So I got my XPS 1530... will put specs at the end of the post. It arrived before scheduled (about 5 days early) and is great! I've had no problems with it whatsoever, and it is blazing fast.... and I haven't even removed the bloatware (speaking of which, need to find the thread with all the details or maximizing performance, though it isn't needed yet heh). But yeah it's great, screen, speed, look, feel, temperature, awesome!

    Specs (top of my head so yah):

    T8300 processor, 3GB RAM, Vista 32-bit, 8600m GT, 320GB 5400rpm hard drive, intel-n wireless, bluetooth internal, LED LCD (1440x900).

    =)

    Glad you like yours, I love mine too. And to be honest, there is minimal bloat on Dells these days. The only crap that came on mine was Google Desktop, Dell support software, Dell Media Direct, and McAfee. All of which might be considered useful to some people. I have seen other new computers that have 10 times more bloat.
