    WOOOOHOOOOO. I got my M1530 today. I ordered it only 8 days ago. And it is perfect, there is not a single thing wrong with it. The screen looks amazing. No sign of graininess. It is very quiet. The dvd rom makes hardly any noise at all. The hard drive is very quiet. Speakers are actually very good sounding. It is going to take alittle time getting used to this trackpad, seems a bit unresponsive, but that will come in time. My router sucks because I am getting a very poor WIFI signal. I cant really think of anything bad to say about it. I am typing this thread up on it right now. And to all that think the 1920x1200 screen will be to small of a resolution, I think it is perfect. I wear glasses and I can see this text perfectly. I am going to be playing with the laptop all night long, lol.

    Text is readable at 120 DPI but have fun with software that gets messed up by that font size.

    I've played the high res game too many times, and I've finally stopped it.

    it might not be your router, weak signal is a common complaint with the stock Dell wireless card & the Dell N Mini. the Intel upgrade apparently works a lot better.

    great. I also purchased the same product with 1920*1200 display. When I heard that samsung screen was having problems I was worried considering samsung is the only screen @ this time dell uses for that resolution. Thanks for stripping :eek: away that concern ^^

    Mine is supposed to be delivered Monday if I can't pick it up at the depot Saturday. I hope I can pick it up Saturday because I am out of town all next week for work. Anyway at least I know I have the "good" Teac DVD drive.
