    What laptop is that girl on the right holding. That's not an XPS is it? It looks different, there is no black aluminum on the top and bottom, and I think that looks a lot nicer.

    I'm pretty sure that's a Chunky inspiron.

    And am I the only one who thinks that the black on the top and bottom ruins how the m1330 could've looked?

    OK - I saw someone asking that a long time ago and I was wondering myself.
    Sometimes I like to open my D610 up 180 deg (when just reading) and balance it vertically on it's front edge. [e.g. when sitting in low chairs in coffee shops]
    Guess I won't be able to do that.

    What would you like instead? Nothing? Doesn't exist... Aluminium like the palm rest? I have no problem with this black...

    I'm glad it doesn't look the same as an Inspiron, regardless of what it looks like.. :)

    i do not agree i like the way it looks. it goes great with the black and the red. the white might look nicer if that part was also white or aluminum but it does just fine with the black

    No,

    I would just like the top and bottom look the same as the sides. Same color.

    Mmmmmm. That would not look as good I think. I like this difference in colors. That gives it some style. It would just like too common with the same color in my opinion.

    Hmm, I guess everyone can have their own opinion, even if yours is wrong :D


    Hehe, just kidding. I guess I am in the minority here.

    There is little "bloatware" installed. I added Norton because I have it and Slingplayer. I also uninstalled the McAfee trial. Everything else you see is what it came with.

    Cliegal: Have you tried turning off the lights in the room where your m1330 is and testing it for light leakage or lack of it. I am very interested in that and a picture would be great too. Thanks!

    I have a 9300 which was pretty famous for light leakage issues so I know what that looks like. In a dark room, looking straight on into the M1330 LED it is solid black. I don't see any leakage. It's hard to describe but it's bright but not washed out in any areas. The display is pretty darned beautiful.

    make yourself afford it! it won't **** for a few months anyway at this point lol so start saving your money and order it in october when ship dates will only be weeks out instead of months.

    and that mogo mouse up top is nice! i like that you can carry it in the lappy and it charges through the slot but i am concerned with 2 things, 1) it looks like extended use may get uncomfortable, and 2) what if i don't use it all the time and it stays in the slot but is fully charged? will it still drain the battery even though it is charged...

    The Sony SZ are actually a bit thinner than the XPS... So it would make sense.

    Try to order the 4+9 Cell on the Dell site now and you get this error:

    Compatibility Instructions Errors:
    Your Primary Battery selection does not support your Video Card selection. Please make changes to one of these selections.

    Also SHip date goes from 8/15 to 9/4 with the LED display.
