    I know the M1210 has been long discontinued, but I personally liked its design over the M1330 personally. I like my notebooks to have a small footprint, and don't mind if its a bit chunky. I also miss the rotating webcam from it as well.

    Of course the M1330 has important, distinct advantages like the LED backlit screen and slot-loading drive for some, though I'd still like a tray drive in rare cases of oddly shaped discs.

    I was wondering if anyone else felt the same? It looks like a 12" XPS won't be coming anytime soon though. :(

    from the way things seem to be going, at least the way things are being rumored, no new XPS laptops will be coming soon, but i kinda do know what u mean. I dont have either of those but i did just buy an M1530 and its nice but i know what u mean about how being a little blocky and chunky isnt always a bad thing, it seems those laptops seem to be a bit sturdier and last longer IMO

    i've never used any of them..but thats
    Exactly how i feel...
    plus i think the m1210 didnt sell as much so maintains a little exclusivity(rarity)

    the problem is that with these laptops you can forget gaming. but if i were to chose a laptop that small it would be the 1210,
    id even pick the new inspiron 13 over the 1330

    Did it blow up/fail/die/need mobo replacements? No? - then yes, I prefer it!
