awesome very nice review!

did u encounter any problem when u reformat the hard drive? i heard it was quite difficult, or did u follow some sort of guide? I am waiting for my m1210 to arrive next week and i am planning on to reformat it once i got it but i have no clue how to do it =).. can u gimme some advice please? =D

 

great review. I have an inspiron 6400 but was debating selling it and gettin a 1210 for the portability of it.

 

I don't think you will truely appreciate portability on an XPS m1210. It's an excellent machine but it weights 4.37 LBS.

 

It is smaller in dimensions though..that makes a difference sometimes. I agree that it's not "truly" an ultra-portable, but it packs some serious firepower.

 

hi, sorry to hijack e thread...
juz gotten my m1210.... tinking of getting upgrading e ram to 2gb, is e conventional notebook ram compatible wif dell m1210??
cos kingston hav stated a different model for dells notebook whereas corsair stated e same model as e normal range of notebooks..

 

I notice in the video that there are only 2 buttons above the keyboard below the lid instead of the expected 3. Was 1 removed due to Vista? I'm assuming that one of the two buttons is the power button. Was the media direct button removed?

I looked at the dell website but only see pictures with the 3 button version.

 

e buttons in e video r power button n MD button..
camera button will b removed if ur laptop is not customized wif one..

 

yes indeed correctly said. Id figure why option up for the camera if i wasnt going to use it. Doesnt look very attractive with the camera in my opinion

 

Well I guess these days one has to choose between portability (with mediocre graphics performance) or to lug around a 17 incher with a good graphics card. Dell has a 512mb video card on their 20" xps, but come on, who would carry a 20" "laptop" around. They shouldn't even call them laptops!

 

I guess Dell's website is wrong with one of its photos. If you go to their website, select the gallery button on the XPS M1210 page, and click on the lowest left image, it'll show a 1210 without the camera but with what appears to be 3 buttons below the lid - at least that's how the image appears to me.

 

yeah but i guess they also wanna show what it would look like without the camera

 

I would. I'm getting one when I can afford it. It's a desktop replacement, that I don't imagine moving much... maybe between rooms & moving to different places.

The fact that its a 1 piece, with 1 cord coming out of it (power), makes it infinitely superior to a multiple piece desktop, requiring keyboard, mouse, LCD, and wires running everywhere.

 

what's up with all the um's lol

just kidding. nice review.

 

lol yeah its a habbit.
