Saw a M1330 today

So I got to check out the M1330 today at work. They had one on hand in the demo lab so I stopped in to check it out. It was pretty sweet actually thin and sleek, red casing with 9-cell battery. Couldn't tell if it was the LED or standard display but it looked pretty thin (guy wasn't sure either). The brightness on the screen was pretty good and the truelife looked nice. Didn't get a chance to check out the specs or use it because they were doing something on it, but it was still cool to look at. The slot load DVD is clean looking too. I am in the same boat with the rest of you guys on the long lead times but at least I can go look at one and drool while everyone else just gets to post threads...haha

 

Where do you work at?

 

awesome. can you snag a couple pictures of it? i'm wondering how it looks with the 4 or 6 cell battery as a lot, if not all, show the 9 cell.

 

Where are you located!?!?!

 

take a guess

 

Dellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll?

 

apppppple!

 

ding ding ding

 

OOOOOOOOOOOoooo.... do you have any info on the m1330's that you can tell us?

 

man we got some quick thinkers round here

 

Oh bother...

 

I guess Apple views the M1330 as a threat. Good.

 

Not really anything more than you guys already know, seems like its some ppls full time job trying to find out whats going on. I haven't seen 1 email that says anything about the 1330's I even sent a couple trying to see what the hold up was for selfish reasons but didn't get anywhere. I check my order on a daily internally and it is still showing PP with not really any updates

 

*sigh*.... I wish you guys could have more information given to you guys... so it won't confuse us.

 

Greg I don't work for apple, blahdude was correct in his first guess... but I agree they should see it as a threat. We are coming into an important part of the notebook market with a solid contender. I think Dell is tired of not being first in notebook sales...

 

Yea I agree but they are real good about keeping things under wraps. Only tell us when absolutley necissary

 

*sigh*... but it would feed our curiosity and maybe get people to freak out less .

 

Yea everyone loves to freak out about every bit of news on these but I would say take it with a grain of salt because I doubt anyone outside of manufacturing and upper mgmt. really knows whats going on with these. That includes customer service, sales reps, online reps, and most mgrs.

 

Oh god, an undercover agent from Dell. Must be reporting all the compensation stuff... I better delete all my posts.

So what department do you work in?

* expedite shipping please*

 

lol yah i do like that my tech gave me the WLED display for free

 

You guys crack me up with that stuff....most of it is pretty ridiculous. I work on the business side so don't really see many 1330 orders actually 0 for me.

 

they still come in but true they are few and far between

 

Now if any of you guys are in the market for some high end servers or a bunch of systems you can hit me up for that....haha

 

i think i have all i need

3 servers dell
15 desktops and laptops allmost all dell
48 port 1gb switch
1 drobo 4X750 or 2TB
and another 2tb movie storage

 

I need 10 new fully loaded 1400 Vostro laptops. My best offer, $1500 for all ten

 

i could do that... cases only right??? jk

 

SV - you down at the HQ? I was there for an internship a couple of years ago, nice corp. apts you got on Louis Henna

 

Yea it is blowing up around here new development all over the place, I got a house just off louis henna about 2 min from work

 

highlight my last post.

 

Yea ill have to pass on that...I got enough people calling me about some $499 computer they saw in a flyer...

 

i've seen a real one last weekend here in malaysia in a dell roadshow. there's only 1 working unit and 1 just the casing. yeah it was very sleek laptop and by using it for few mins i made an order. ordered on 15th july, and the estimated delivery date is 3rd august. the unit i saw was a black colour m1330 with led backlight screen with pretty much everything. except the remote control. didn't take any photos cause i thought there will be tons of them next week here cause they'll start to ship on 20th july.

 

Another sign of hope... you say they start shipping out on July 20th, eh? Groovy.

 

I was there at the roadshow on the 14th. Also ordered mine on the spot. Expected delivery date is 3rd August. How about yours?

 

Hello to all Waiting Patiantly XPS's

My order date is the 30th of June
My shipping date is the 30th of July,
If the start shipping the 20th of july. does it means that everybody that is pushed back after the 30th, still is in front of me.

 

Well... the 20th of July shipping date is for Austrlia/UK users (I think)... the US started shipping on the 10th... (according to Dell's blog). I'm not sure what to believe though....

 

My expected ship date is way out on September 6th, with an estimated delivery date being somewhere between September 11th to the 13th.

I'm in the United States.

 

Yeah, in Malaysia they were suppose to deliver it on the 20thJuly. But they push the delivery date to the 30th July.

 

they pushed to 30th july..?! how do u know bout this. will it effect my estimated delivery date on 3rd august. we malaysian should get it 1st. don't need to use any air transportation. cheap van also can deliver within a day.

 

Any of you intending to put in Windows XP after receiving your machines? I just manage to find the NVidia drivers on opendriver website. Dell is not posting that many. Guess will have to hunt for the rest ourselves.

 

I intend to first try out virtualization using Zen with Windows XP and Windows Vista. If that works out, then I'll stick with that setup.
