The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    On the Dell site, don't pay any attention to the star ratings. It appears to be marketing fiction.

    At least one NBR user has posted in NBR that his reviews with a low rating were never posted by Dell. Indeed, only two of the reviews posted at Dell for the 1530 give less than 4 out of 5 stars. Nearly all give 5 stars. The consensus of that NBR thread was that Dell posts only reviews with a high star rating. I wouldn't be surprised that Dell marketing writes some of the reviews.

    I'd ignore the "pro" stuff. Some of the "cons" appear credible, however.
