    Hello folks,

    Just got my 1530 and am very happy with it. Got the 1440 screen as well and it seems very good. Anyhow just a couple of things. Firstly I get a click when the laptops closed over the hdd enclosure. Only if I squeeze it tho. Does anyone else have this?

    Also what kind of laptop case (sleeve) do you have. I didn’t get the xps one so have ordered a 15” widescreen gimp from crumbler. This doesn’t fit the laptop as the corners on the case have too large a radius and you really have to stretch it to get it in. Im thinking this isn’t going to dot he laptop any good. Any ideas. Im after something that’s protective (so I can use any bag) but also as thin as possible (whats the point having a thin laptop then sticking it in a thick case?

    What kind of performance improvement do people see when going from a 2gig of ram to 4gig on vista? Its running bioshock fab at the moment so im wondering if there’s any point?


    Im also quite new to laptops so any general advice is greatly appreciated :)
