My wife got me the carrying case to go with it for me for my birthday.

So now that I have a laptop to play with. What to do, what to do.

I've already got an idea on adding some lighting to give this baby that "Special" look. But you will have to wait and see. (muuaahhhaaahahhh Evil laugh).

Anybody else have one? :)

That thing is nice! I wish I had one... or any laptop, lol. Happy Belated Birthday... can't remember if I've said that yet or not.

I've got the XPS M1210 (discontinued now). If I had waited another couple of weeks, I could have had the 1330 (with the LED screen) but I was way too impatient.

Still a great little machine, it's actually my primary machine at home. :D

[aintnothang]

Thats a hot looking Dell.

Sweet XPS mate, I just brought myself a Dell Studio 15 1555, was a bargain. Costing me $1500AUD with a P8600, 3GB RAM, 320GB HDD and a 256MB 4570 all with a 2 year warrenty and Vista Home Premium 64bit. They wanted $70 for an upgrade to 4GB RAM but I can do that myself for $20 lol.

How long did it take you to get yours? I ordered and paid for mine on the 23rd March and they recon I wont have it until the 20th April, so much for the 7-10 working day delivery.

Mine only took about a week and a half to get. Infact it arrived sooner than they said it would.

Yeah I hope mine does, I really need it for uni, end of next week is mid semester break though so it doesn't really matter.

I should update this too..

My XPS M1210 had an unfortunate run in with my toddler.. long story short: I need a new keyboard, since we cant find all the keys.

Second: I've had a few 1330's come through the shop.. all with failed GPU's. It's unfortunate that they rushed it to market, since it obviously wasnt ready.

How's your 1530 holding up?

[rendermandan]

well, I'd hate to jinx it, but its been running good so far!

[Luke122]

That's good! I had a chance to play with an M1730 (sexxxy), and found that the external lighting on it (speakers, touchpad, lcd screen) was customizable to any color...
