    ive been going back and forth and decided to get the m1330 over ther d630 and i wanted to go with the led screen but the ship date is twice as far. i was wondering if the led screen is worth the wait (and money) and if i made the right decision. what do you all think?

    I would subtract about a week from your "ship date" I ordered my 1420 with a lot of big upgrades on 7/14 and had a ship date of 8/17. I actually received my laptop in my home on 8/2. I have heard a lot of similar stories.

    Depends on how you use it and what features you need. Does the Smaller size, weight, webcam, HDMI, additional media buttons, remote, LED backlight(maybe not in your case since the difference is just $150) and the notebook design important?

    Personally I think $150 is fully worth for all those extras... but then again thats just my opinion...

    Oh yeah. the m1330 is awesome if you can afford it. Much better than the D630. Don't get me wrong the D630 is very nice, but the m1330 is in a class of its own. Portability, power, very attractive...the m1330 is worth it.
