    Just received a brand new m1530. I wanted a 17" though as a system replacement for my e1705. What do you think I could get for it?


    XPS M1530, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.2GHz/800MhzFSB, 4M L2 Cache)
    Tuxedo Black Casing XPS M1530
    15.4 inch Wide Screen WXGA TrueLife LCD with 2.0 MP Camera for XPS M1530
    2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm, for XPS M1530

    8X DVD+/-RW Slot Load Drive for XPSM1530
    256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

    and since the warranty info transfers to this laptop I have:

    the laptop is brand new though -I've never turned it on yet. Doesn't have the refurbished tag anywhere, on the box/bottom of the laptop etc

    If it's that new, why not just return it?

    because it's a system replacement for my e1705 as it broke and this was the "best" laptop they could offer me. The other option was the inspiron 1720, which I refused.
