    Seeing as the M1330 is coming out shortly the M1210 should be dropping, no?

    What are your thoughts?

    I am dissapointed that the price drop has been very little, was just about to buy one, but now holding off for new model.

    M1210 is still a very desirable laptop and the release of M1330 wont make the M1210 obsolete. there's a noticeable difference between 12" and 13" laptops when you actually play around with it in person.

    I ordered an M1210 this week. Given my knack for bad timing, that pretty much guarantees that the price will drop $200 in the next few weeks. :)

    My "knack" came through, but faster than usual. Thanks mainly to the heads-up provided by this thread, I was able to cancel the order in time and reorder for about $215 less. :D

    Thanks, y'all! :cool:

    I think they lowered it to $999 base previously (in the past month), then raised it back. It seems like the XPS line pricing changes just like the coupon values change for Inspirons.

    Cool, a $200 dollar drop :D
    I'm just hoping that the M1330 isn't going to be too expensive...

    That's doubtful...

    I can't see it going much lower than it already is. Maybe $799 base max.
