well, the text above includes the travel remote and the backup dvd, but didnt say anything about the sleeve, XPS CD case or Creative earbuds...i'll probably call them and demand them if they're not included....

things to do after getting my laptop:
1) reformat, dual boot Vista 64-bit and XP MCE
2) http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=202510
bestskinsever condom
3) http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=242631
anti-glare screen protector

 

Looks like a nice system.

If you are in the US, you should get the case, sleeve, and earbuds. Everywhere else it seems like its hit and miss.

As long as it isn't from the outlet, you should get the stuff.

Good luck.

 

Congrats! I just got my M1330 too, I got the best deal by doing the product(RED) so that kind of pushed me over on what color I chose. LOL. The waiting is the worst, isn't it?

Thanks for those links, BTW! Very helpful. I'm going to look into the screen and 'condom' as well. I'm *really* worried about screwing up the application though (I'm picky!), so ... I don't know. :/ Will read through and probably order a screen protector though for sure.

 

Nice system you've purchased. Good idea on getting the LED LCD.

 

I got the XPS case, sleeve, and the microfiber cloth with mine, but no earbubs. Hope you like it, so far I'm enjoying mine.

 

paper_wastage: Is the deal you got public? Thats a damn good price!

 

if u'r picky, invisibleshield/zagg.com has a premade m1330 skin for $40..... i bought a large uncut skin from bestskinsever (cheaper @ $18, though zagg.com has a lifetime warranty) because i wanted to skin&test on my new phone (blackjack II)

lets just say that the corners on my phone were hard, results weren't that great, but it should be easier on a laptop(square, flat surfaces)

na, Dell EPP

only problem is heating on the palm rests, not overtly hot..but just warm, good i guess if you live in alaska or something. lol

 

Hey there! Woot! Congrat's on your purchase!!!

Nice specs

I'm sure you enjoy it very mucho!!!!

 

I saw the Zagg one, but it's still a matter of perfect application, pre-cut or not. I know it's one of those products that is really easy to get bubbled, you have to be extra careful about hair/dust/etc (and I have 2 dogs/3 cats, LOL). I am going to try a screen protector that makes it more matte - if I am especially comfortable applying that, then maybe I'll go ahead with it.

Maybe in the winter when I go to class the palmrest will act like a handwarmer for my frozen hands after driving.

 

well, they say to apply itin the bathroom after cleaning it, and running hot water so that dust/dirt will stick to the humid (water vapours) and not affect your applying

i can't wait!!!
