    Hi all,

    I have been reading these forums for quite a while and I finally joined. I just purchased a M1330 from the Dell Outlet and I wanted to get opinions on if I got a good deal. The specs are:

    XPS M1330 Notebook: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7300 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB, 4MB Cache)
    6 Cell Primary Battery
    Tuxedo Black
    Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium
    128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
    Microsoft Works 8.5
    Bluetooth Wireless Card 355
    13.3 inch WXGA Slim and Light LED Display
    8X DVD +/- RW w/dbl layer write capability
    MEDIADIRECT 3.3 Software
    160 GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
    Operating System DVD
    2 GB DDR2 SDRAM 677MHz (2 DIMMs)
    Fingerprint Reader Touchpad
    Image Restore Software
    Integrated 2.0 Mega Pixel Web Camera
    Service Software
    Intel 4965 802.11a/g/n Dual-Band Mini Card

    I paid $1,209 which I think is a great deal considering the LED Display. What do you guys think?

    My other question is that the setup states that I have the thin and light LED Display and the 2.0 MP Camera. Is this even possible? Everything I have read says that Dell never offered this as an option. I chatted with a Dell Rep. tonight and he confirmed that it has the LED Display and the 2.0 camera. He went on to say that if the 2.0 MP camera is not there that Dell will make it right. Anyone have anything to share about thus? What does make it right mean?

    Thanks all and Happy Thanksgiving!

    I think you mistype LED with LCD.

    It's a great deal.

    It's dell with typo on 2.0

    If you check Dell outlet, all LEDs have 2.0 instead of 0.2

    Great buy, but I would add warranty.

    Thanks for the replies. I figured it was Dell's error. Is it worth complaining about? I still think it was a good deal with the LED and the 0.2 camera.
