    Guys, can you confirm for me the hard drive form factor? Seeing that some of you upgraded to an ssd, I'm guessing it takes a 2.5 in / 9.5mm. Thanks.

    ^ Only 2.5" 9mm SATA drives will fit in the V130.

    Could not find this thread, the search does not search properly for 'V130'.
    Is there any news on a possible Sandy Bridge upgrade for the V130? Or the difference between the two battery options-
    Primary 6-cell battery [Included in Price]
    Primary 6-cell 30W/HR LI-ION add £0.00
    Cheers :)

    The V13 (discontinued) and the V130 (to be discontinued) are laptops Dell will not sell in the future. However they do sell the L13. It's a shame that both the V13 and V130 will not progress as they are attractive looking ultra-portables with a solid build quality at their respective price points.

    Wow, are you sure about this? No successor to the V130?

    Yes i'm sure. Will there be a successor to the V130, yes every machine has a successor but it won't look or carry anything over from the Adamo/V13/L13/V130 design.

    Well darn, looks like I need to take the plunge and get the V130 soon then. The oh-so-sexy design is the main reason I'm buying it. :D
