    My first M1530 came with a wobbly base, but everything else including the screen (an LG 1440x900) was great. So Dell sent me a replacement last week, but the replacement had the wrong hard drive and the screen was not nearly as nice (a CPT). Dell sent me another replacement today. This one also has a really nice LG screen, but the base is very noticeably bowed downward in the center where the trackpad is. It's easy to see when you close the lid.

    I think I'm going to stick with my first system since I managed to fix the wobble during the 4 weeks that it's taken to get this second replacement. For those of you hoping for an LG screen, it looks like Dell is still shipping them for WXGA+.
