    I am an owner of the ThinkPad T61 (7663A21).
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=177092

    Recently, I read an article from the HWM magazine (Oct 07 issue) which gave the Dell XPS M1330 a rating score of 9.5 out of 10.

    So what do you, owners of Dell, think ?

    Ummmmmm...ya.

    You will get both sides here, probably the negative more than the positive because this where many come with their problems and concerns.

    I love my m1330! It's the best laptop I've used to date for both form and function!

    I don't have one, but I do like the laptop. My only gripe about it is the price. I think it is a little much for the hardware.

    I would choose a Dell over a HP. Although I don't have any experiences with a Dell notebook I do have a Dell desktop and no problems yet. My beef with HP notebooks is fan noise and heat issues. I'm sensitive to fan noise and they are A LOT louder than any Dell notebook my friends have. I have two HP's and know from experience.

    I do like my M1330 despite the initial bumps in the road. Dell has 3 yr NBD OnSite service + CompleteCare Accidental Damage protection (+ LoJack) and at better prices than HP. Warranty aside, I would still not buy an HP over Dell because I have not been impressed with the quality of the HPs I've worked on. I have seen many Dells, laptops and desktops, that are still around after well over 5 years.

    no delivery issues to speak of, great LED screen, as fast with Vista as it ever was with XP. In fact, a great overall experience with Dell and an impressive notebook/laptop!
