    The bad: Small touchpad; some options (SSD hard drives, Blu-ray) not available yet; not as many color options as Dell's new Inspiron line.

    cnet has the most stupid con lists known to man.

    p.s. i like how the call my m1210 ugly/unattractive :rolleyes:

    Never trust cnet "reviews". All they do is regurgitate specs, anyway.

    Also, the price of the 1330 really dissappointed me....for what you get...it's pathetic imo

    That's with a 6 cell battery using a dvd. The PCMag review had a 9 cell battery and got 3 hrs 23 mins watching a dvd, and according to them, 5 hours should be doable using normal processing tasks.

    What gets me more is for the review of the M1210 they talked about how stylish it WAS.

    2.5 hours in a dvd drain test is pretty good imo, u should expect to have 3+hours just surfing the web and stuff; if you are not satisfied take a look at the t61 battery life, its 4 cell battery only 2 hrs
