How did/are you going to configure your M1330?

I want:

Black casing
6 cell battery
Intel Core 2 Duo T7300
Wireless Draft N
LED screen
Slot loading Blu-ray Drive (if not too expensive)
Nvidia Geforce 8400GS
2GB Ram
120gb Hard Drive
Windows Vista Home Premium

 

Which battery comes standard?

And how much battery life does that give?

 

That is just the configuration I would like to have. I did not order one yet. From what I've read around the web, a six-cell battery comes standard.

 

If my brother gets one, all I know right is the Tuxedo Black color.

 

Oh God, it starts at $1500? And that's not even with a T7300, LED display, and 8400M. It'll soar past $2000 with all that.

 

Is XP going to be an option (according to scan)?

 

1,500 Canadian dollars.

EDIT: Wait a minute. I saw the photo some where else and it said Canadian dollars

 

According to the "23 Confessions" on direct2dell.com, Dell is going to start offering a choice of XP, Vista, or Ubuntu on all their products. The guy even went so far as to say that if Steve Jobs "changes his tune on OSX" they'd offer it as well.

 

Apple will never give up its Monopoly on Mac OS.

 

I don't know about never... they did once before, they could do it again... still, I'm not holding my breath.

 

The prices on that flier are Canadian, I am pretty sure.

 

Gonna config it with the 8400M, the least memory I can (2GB stick coming ), smallest hard drive I can (its still gonna be pretty big), DVD-RW, Black lid, T7300 CPU, and LED screen (if price allows).

 

its on the dell site now, and the configs and prices are in pure "early adopter rape" mode. The spec i wanted is about $400 more than expected. Time to pass. This only makes the m1210 look even better

 

Well the m1330 has things like the LED screen that the m1210 never offered, but the price of the m1330 is only about $300 more than the outgoing prices of the m1210. At least, that's what I find in comparison to the before-coupon price of the m1210 I ordered on Friday.

 

Don't have enough money yet, and am still waiting till next month to see Sony Vaio SZ update.

The processor, I would like to change to a 2.2 but the Canadian website only has the 1.8 for now.

 

I'd really like to configure it with a 6 cell battery and a 9 cell battery but that option is not available right now, only 4+9 and 9+9.
