    Hello. I am a future owner of a XPS M1530 (or at least I hope so) and I really want to watch some videos of the laptop. I have only been able to find some videos on YouTube, but with crappy quality... I would like to see some "good" videos of the system, do you know where I can watch/download any of these videos? (If Stage 6 was still online... I have searched in Veoh and vimeo, but nothing related to m1530)

    Thanks

    I've got some pretty high quality pictures, but there really isn't a whole lot to see. What you see on the website is, for the most part, what you get.

    Someone here has a great review with good pictures... I think he's named "Jack"? He's the guy who painted his lid red. In his signature is a link to his review, which has some really nice looking photos.

    It's worth mentioning that dell has a full return period, too. They'll even cover shipping so if you don't like the look of it, just box it back up. I know that's a pain, but I really think you'll like this laptop. There's not a whole lot to complain about it's build quality. It's very sturdy, well-balanced and looks great. :)

    I have already seen his review and it's great, but I'd like to see the XPS in movement :p I'd love to see some "quality" videos of the XPS m1530.

    Where do you live? Is there a Dell retail kiosk in your area that you can visit?

    I think Cnet or someone has a review with a developer holding the machine. It's fair quality.

    I live in a Spanish city in Africa. :p We don't even have a shopping centre, so I doubt there are any "Dell" kiosks here.

    I'll check CNET to see if I can find any :)

    Thanks

    EDIT: Oh, I had already seen that video on youtube, but I downloaded it from Cnet and it has pretty good quality. Any more similar videos? :)

    Thanks

    I'm quite sure Dell closed their kiosks in the United States. Don't know about the UK but we have Dell Kiosks in Canada. Signal2Noise already mentionned there's 2 in Calgary and we have 2 here in vancouver. :)

    I don't know, but I'd like to see some videos while I wait untill the laptop arrives.

    PS: I am not from the Canary Islands. Canary Islands are not "really" in Afica (well... maybe :p). I am from Melilla -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melilla http://maps.google.es/maps?f=q&hl=e...0717,-2.940109&spn=0.002124,0.005305&t=k&om=0

    i was sort of thinking of getting a dell, went to bestbuy yesterday, i have changed my mind..i have no doubt that the dells run okay,,but i did not like the cases...even the m1530, i thought looked just average...hp,s clay edition and verve edtion won me over.... dell needs to come out with some nicer looking cases, and then i might just on one.
