The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    A lot of people start from the base model and work their way up, adding what they want, but it comes out to be really really overpriced. I just want to make sure that everyone is getting the good deals by clicking on the weekend savings event, here's the link. It's for both studio models and the M1330 and M1530 XPS models. It end's on 7/28 by the way. They have other savings links on their website too but I think these offer the most savings. Happy buying.

    I'm really scarred about the over heating concerning the 8600... Except for that the XPS 1530 looks awesome...

    I figured, hey, if it overheats that's Dell's fault and it's covered under warranty. Maybe if it fries in like a year or two they will be all out of 8600m GT's and they will put like a 9800m in it ... now that would be sweet :D

    I guess, but the loss of data and stuff does not equal fun though...

    Frying your GPU shouldn't affect the Hard drive at all ... plus those ones in the deal come with a 3 year warranty ... how can you go wrong really?
