dell xps m1210

Im thinking about buying one. how reliable are they? one more very important question.... if you have one, does it come with the OEM disk the ones that say re-install os, and drivers? i have a dell xps 400 and i want to know if the m1210 will come with those cds as well?

 

Yes, it does come with the OEM OS disk

 

They're a bit bulky in my opinion, and the user reviews haven't been THAT great. What will you be using it for anyways?

 

I have used the M1210, and was going to buy one, but now I am waiting for the newer model hopefully coming out soon, other than that, I would have order one by now.

 

I have one and I love it. I travel alot so the size is perfect and you can also do gamming on it

 

The size is small, but if you want to get a good battery performance from a 9 cell battery, it literally sticks out an inch from the back of the laptop at the base past the monitor, which is not really attractive. : /

 

really? ill mostly be using it for very basic stuff like videos, music and internet browsing. i wont be using it for gaming though. but is it very portable? and as for the battery around how much time does it really handle? i checked the dell site and it says "9 hours" with a battery they sell *ill be willing to buy the battery* but does it really last 9 hours?

 

you mean the battery looks like this?



if so... gosh its horrible

 

Small price to pay for 5 hrs of battery life or more!

 

hey

I'm thinking about purchasing this Dell XPS m1210 as well but my biggest concern with buying a laptop is that it has to be portable (bc i'm a student and take my computer to every class) and it has to be able to play even the most recent games but especially 1701 a.d. and Civiliation IV. Is this a good computer that can fit both of my needs? I've been reading into it and right now this is the computer of my choice but I want to make sure that people use it for gaming
thanks,
