Got a few PICS of my Brand New M1530!!!

Thats a regular Dasani bottle:





I got 2 remotes and these nice Creative headphones (DONT KNOW WHY I GOT 2 REMOTES AND 2 SETS OF HEADPHONES):





This is a comparison of my 19" widescreen(top) at 1440x900 and the my 1530(bottom) at 1280x800. (they are both at a wierd angle so dont use this for brightness info. I'm jsut posting this pic for the resolution) Its Google:

 

Nice. Thanks. Keep them coming. +1

 

Looks nice.
Looks like Dell really is trying to take on the MBP.
Hopefully issues dont start cropping up around this model like they had with the 1520 and they may have a hit on their hands.
Me likey. Congrats!

 

Twin earbuds for the twin headphone jacks and twin remotes so users can fight over what to watch?

 

Hey what day did you order your laptop? I ordered mine on Dec 1st and its still "In production"...

 

cant wait to get mine, that brushed alluminum is bad@ss

 

thanks for the pictures, ah cant wait for mine to come in!

 

How much does it weigh!!!? What battery did you order?

 

slimjim

could you PLEASE install ntune and see if it will show you your gpu core and memory clocks?

I have been trying for over an hour to figure this out. Tried atitool, ntune, and rivatuner - none of them work

 

well i dont have a scale

i got the 6 cell. but i will be ordering another soon for a backup. prob another 6 cell.

Order Date: 11/28/2007

Original ship date was the 20th

Shipping Method: 3-5 Business Days
Shipped Date: 12/6/2007
Est. Delivery Date: 12/10/2007 (which was correct)

aight hold on sleey0, i'm dl'ing it now

ha, i guess it would help to download on teh right computer.

 

w00t, that is awesome! Hey...about that second remote...if you're not interested...

Aircast, I'm sure this won't help, but in case it does, it only took Dell about 11 days between my order date and delivery. Thats for a 1520, though, thus why I'm not sure if it'd help :/

I found the best thing is to NOT go by what they say on the Order Status page. For instance, mine said "In Production" on the site, but when I called the 1-800 number, they told me it was in the boxing stage.

 

aight sleey0 here ya go:

 

Thanks, it actually did help to clear the doubts I was having about dell's website saying "in production", although judging from the growing popularity of the new XPS and the flood of orders Dell must have to deal with, it might take a little longer... My anticipation is killing me!!!

P.S. PICS PICS PICS!!! AND BENCHMARKS!!! AND MORE PICS!!!! AND ANYTHING ELSE RELATED TO XPS 1530!!! Need em to feed my impatience

 

lol that says the core clock is 160....cant be rite lol

 

Thanks. Unfortunately, I think something is wrong with my system

Mine shows everything as 0 MHz. Can't figure it out. I've tried gpu-z, atitool, ntune, and rivatuner.

 

i'm pretty sure thatsat idle.

sleey0, have u changed any main settings yet that might interfere with it?

 

oh ya lol....my bad

 

your in vista, did you check versions compatibility.

I will be the first to goto XP with that machine I think, I am going right after I bench everything in vista.

Speaking of which i need bench guides for: following demos If you know or have any PM me please
FEAR - Found its ingame very easy to do*
COD4 MW
Company of Heros Singleplayer Demo - Ingame tool to do it.
Hellgate London Demo
UT2004 Beta Demo - Found this demo tool
TimeShift SP Demo.

I can use fraps but it will not be the same demo run as other people. want to keep things as constent as I can

 

aight, a few more while i was opening the box and stuff:


oh yea.... theres a little white sticker on top there that says Computer made in Malaysia(????):

 

more pix and reviews!!!

I am a hungry man!!!

 

i so cant wait till i get mine now. its supposed to be sometime this week

 

*drooling*

 

+1

Please show pics from all sides.

 

soooooooooooon!!!

Sweet i got anew box for my wall of boxes!!!!

Can u post thumbnails to links of large images?

 

how's the touchpad? The one on the 1330 sucked.

Also, what do you think re: screen. Worth waiting for a higher-resolution one?

 

to tell you the truth, i like this res. screen combo and the mouse pad is nice. All the keys are the quietest i have ever heard.

a few more "higher quality" pics (I'm done with th camera for now):

 

This whole time and i never tested the dvd/cd drive( no blueray)

 

I must say...that's one sexy laptop.

You've now got me wondering which to get...the m1330 or the m1530....

Gosh...I'm so used to a 15.4" WXGA screen that the m1530 would be great for me...

Decisions....Decisions...

 

i think ive just been sold.
forget the asus f8sv, im getting this once the new res screens are added.
no nvidia sticker? whats the deal with that?

*few questions:
hows the battery life? speakers?

 

its a sleeper gaming machine!!!

I like no logos, I am covering up that front dell one with a rockstar sticker tho...

im guessing the laptop goes int he XPS binder thing?

I bought a belkin red/black neopreme one its pretty dope

 

Awesome shots. Soooo jealous right now.

 

Its a sexy beast. Mine has been ordered.

 

nah, that binder holding up the laptop is the manual. its go a few cd slots for the original dell cd's and other installation cd's. that thing looks like a car manual out of a bmw. unless you are talking about the thing that it was in wen i took it out of the dell box.

 

I was wondering, the remote has to be ordered separate?

 

What cds did you get? Just a Dell vista restore CD & drivers?

 

nah i got:

Creative audigy advance mb

dell drivers

roxio creator 9.0

more drivers

reinstalation dvd

trend micre pc cillin internet security

and dell media direct disk


though i have taken almost all that bs software off. i installed norton Cooperate for the security and a few other small programs, but thats the way its going to stay.

for the speakers, not anything extravagent(sp?), though what do you expect from a laptop. the battery i haven't really tested. though, when i got it, it was at like 75% and i ran it dry for about an hour an a half. wasn't gaming though, just making all the changes to the way i like it.

 

I'm really liking the sound of the m1530.

But, I also really like the size of the m1330.

I'm torn!!

 

so you have to get the remote separate?

I have vista ultimate so first thing I'll be doing is a format.

 

It varies from area. I know in canada you have to select it(extra 20$) in the bluetooth category. Pretty sure it comes standard in america though.

 

nah the remote should be included.

the reason i think i got an extra one is it wasnt with the other one. the extra remote and headphones were on top of everything. also, the headphones that was on top of everything is in a diff. bag. the set in the manual bindr has a "XPS" logo on it and the other one don't. though, maybey its supposed to have 2. no one has chirped in yet to set it straight.

 

dang, how do i find out if my laptop has bluetooth?? shoot, when i ordered it, i got what i wanted and then saved it to my cart and had the guy on the phone open it up and process it. i think the bluetooth got cleared.

i'm trying to connect my phone to it and i don't even see the hardware anywhere in the laptop. hmm....

 

Go into your Device Manager. It'd be listed their if you had it.

If you don't have it, you can simply order the chip from Dell and install it yourself. VERY easy to do. Easier then RAM.

 

yea, i think im gunna have to, cause i can't find it in he device manager. oh well.

 

Like I said, just order it from Dell if you really want it. That's what I did. They'll send you the software with the chip too. It's only $20 or so.

 

lol, ok. I live in trinidad and saw it as a separate purchase. If it comes with it, kool. If not, no big loss.

 

What kind of battery life are you getting?

YOu have the 6 cell correct?

 

It looks nice, however, I don't like the low res. screen. I would like at least 1440 x 900. The screen res. is the deal killer(at least to me).

 

Nice. Congrats on your new laptop

How about a full review, hmm?

 

nah, i'm too lazy.

 

My review thread in progess.
