    Exactly, their only advantage is their small size making them decent travel laptops.

    EDIT: I just noticed that now that this thread is OT, we're starting to talk about actual computer stuff. :confused:

    For what its purposes are last generation stuff is perfectly suitable for it. I would like to pick one up with blu-ray and attach it to my TV. Then I can get rid of my DVD player and stream media from my server with Media Center.

    Sorry guys, but I need to close this thread so a few other mods can work on it. They're having a tough time sorting through the thread to move relevant posts back to the Dell forum with all you guys continuing to post here.

    It'll be open soon.

    Thanks a lot mods for all the time you took to clean up the thread! :)

    Dell Accessories you mean official ones sold by Dell or just any accessory in particular that you can use with the M1530?

    It sounds like a potentially fun and useful feat. :)

    Yes, I think it will be fun and a very useful feature! Let me know if want to! ;) :)

    OKay, thanks for clarifying that ;) Yeah your accessories project sounds great. Unfortunately I'm probably not gonna be much help since the only accessories I use are a wireless mouse and a laptop cooler. :eek:

    I understand ;) Well do you want to help out on either of those? I know fonduekid has the cooler, also..and he took some really nice photos, and did that little mini-review! But the info you have on your wireless mouse, would also be great! ;) :)

    So, if you want to do either..let me know! :)

    Sure I can write a mini-review incl. and take pics of my mouse although it's almost 2 years old so i'm pretty sure it's been discontinued but I can still review it. ;)

    Well, if you used it on your 1530, or the previous notebook....I think it would work.. ;) :) Also, we could check to see if it has been upgraded. What do you think? :)

    I've got the Microsoft Bluetooth Wireless 5000 mouse covered... ;) I use that on my 1530 :)

    Your cooler, is it the Zalman 2000? ;)

    Yup it's the Zalman 2000 but I haven't actually got it yet... i'm hoping tuesday or wednesday, I can review it once i do. Right now I don't even know which wireless mouse I'm using but I'll find out and check if it's been upgraded since then. Just give me a few days for the reviews... :)

    Morning Forte...Scott I think popped in really briefly early Sunday? Said a few words and was gone. :confused: I don't think he abandoned us..maybe he's just been really busy...I'm sure he will show up again!

    What accessories do you have for you 1530? :)

    I think either the red or black one looks good. Possibly a dark blue if they have that. I think I would like to get the one with 16 GB SSD, maybe less and use an SD card. We'll see how the price works out.

    Great..I will let you know exactly what I need, or you can tell me what accessories you are using on your lappy now ;) :)

    Yes, I'm fixed on the *red* ;) :) That would be nice 16GBSSD and using the SD card...WoOT Can't wait.

    Hey guys...remember we have to keep our Team Dell thread here limited to talk about Dell, and Team Member questions (ie..help questions, etc) ;)

    Hello team.. good morning / afternoon / evening. How are you all?? :) :)

    whats the difference between Intel matrix storage manager AHCI Driver and the intel matrix storage manager (RAID) drivers?? :( :( Can some please tell me about this? because Intel has released a new driver and I have idea what it is or to whom it would apply... Thanks a lot.
