    LG build quality > Dell build quality any day.

    But no optical drive, that kills it for me.

    very impressive indeed. but i'll be realistic here:

    i'm sorry but those straight lines dont do much for me - quite frankly its quite an eyesore that reminds me of the commendable ultraportalbe sony tx/tz series. didnt someone mentioned that it is THICKER?

    at regarding the weight and size - there is no way of the unit having a decent battery life. even i'm annoyed with the 2.5+ hour life mine gets under normal use. certainly in my view, the thermal envelope will be too dangerous to be considered acceptable running a 8600 under load when using the battery unless the p300 has a decent cooling solution.

    lastly the lack of an optical drive does remind me of the macbook air, while that notebook has a different spec - it is impressive in its own right redefining the idea of ultraportable 13" notebooks. when was the last time you saw a straight edge on the macbook air let alone any other apple product?

    How can this even be a "fair" comparison when the LG doesn't even have a DVD drive? :confused:

    Compare it with an apple or something... the XPS 1330 is much better than the LG.

    I would NEVER consider a notebook that doesn't have a dvd drive.

    BTW, this should help settle which is better... at 8:30am pacific time, there was 388 viewing the dell site here while only 21 was viewing the LG site LOL!

    Does it have the cpu whine? If it doesn't, then LG > m1330.

    LG P300 is much better than a cheap XPS m1330. I already had a M1330 and trust me.... Very solid construction. The best keyboard on notebook (beter than lenovo)... And it's a power laptop in a 13,3".

    The best notebook I never see.... I see and try severals notebook in my life...

    Good luck!

    Hi, if people are in Canada they can see the LG at FS and the 1330 at Staples. I can see the appeal of the LG and it does not cost too much more than a similarly rigged 1330. However, I don't need or want several things such as a larger harddrive and wwan (just to give two examples) that I can configure on the Dell and have no choice but to pay for with the LG. When I take into account the things that I don't want/need, the price difference becomes quite big ($500). I guess that is the main advantage of Dell's system; you get to customize to a certain extent and therefore cut down on your costs.
