    Now it look a good price for the specification, but i havent seen any review about this model on internet.
    It will be very helpful if you guys can give some feedback about the model.

    Appreciate your reply
    thanks in advance.

    i used to own that one - fantastic computer, never had a problem. thought i didnt like the mouse at first, but then it felt just fine.

    and with specs, u def won't be dissapointed. the only few things the m1330 obviously beat it on is, the lightness, led screen and the extra 64mb for video

    which by the way, the 64mb 8400m gs in the dv2500t handeled games just fine for me, halo 2 was smooth, etc. (not to mention the m1330 by far cost more)
