The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
I have the m1530 with the 1920x1200 resolution panel. I like the screen very very much. and like the laptop very much too, but so far am very concerned. I purchased 4 of them (for myself, wife, and family members) together, all with the same specs, best screen, best video card, best of everything on options. Got them in, and on ALL 4, the processor, and video were overheating in just a few hours of continuous run. I had to replace the heat sink compound on all 4 as the crappy grey rubber-like stuff they put on them had already started to get burnt. I used some very ex$$ compound and it solved the heat problem completely. After only one month, on 2 of them, the LCD died with the external monitor working fine. After a few trips from a repair tech, BOTH were motherboard problems and NOT LCD problems. Now the speakers had died on one of the repaired units, and a tech has to come out again. Good thing I got that better warranty. Anyways, I think thats pretty sorry, 2 out of 4 have died in less than a month.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
