    Now I regret getting my 6400 back in November. The m1330 looks so awesome. But, I got the best of the best on my 6400, other then RAM. I'm most definitely happy with it though.

    I am going to wait a bit longer, because all system specs are not avilable at this early stage. As for getting 4 gig of ram. 2 gig is enough unless you are going to use a 64 bit operating system.

    Yep! Mine is in the Pre-Production stage and is supposed to ship on 08/13. I hear there's a holdup with the Bluetooth option? I hope it doesn't delay it too long.

    I didn't get any kind of confirmation in my email after a day. I called Dell and had to place my order for the M1330 all over again :confused: :confused: They mentioned something about an "invalid configuration" because of a resource CD.

    My ship date is 8/13, but I really hope it doesn't take that long.

    I ordered mine several days ago. It said expected ship date the 29th and recieve date july 1st-3rd however everytime i login it says they are doing maintencance and i can't get my order status. After talking to a rep in their chat support I was told she couldn't get the full info cuz i purchased through EPP and was chatting through home/personal but told me that even though it said ship by the 28th that it was still in production. So i have no idea when it will be shipped or recieved =\

    Though the price of the XPS m1330 may be more expensive than many other countries in asia pacific, the delivery is also faster i guess.
    My estimated ship date is 17 Jul. :)

    You poor souls. It took me about a month to get mine. When i got it, it developed a problem with the screen. It had multi-colored lines going vertically covering on quarter ot the screen just left of the center. It made the unit totally unusable. It took another two weeks to get a replacement. the replacement had the access screw, on the WWAN card compartment, totally stripped so that I could not transfer the card from on old unit. Their quality control really SUCKS!!!! I think it would be better to give this piece of crap back and find another laptop.
