XPS m1530/m1330 - Lets clear up the hateful misconceptions...shall we!

[rezendevous]

Hi there......as many people who are knowledgeable about Dell know....there have been various issues about the XPS m1330 and 1530 models of notebooks which have taken fire and escalated in the past few months.......Obviously there is truth to these issues and they have been "dealt with" by dell in its usual so-so fashion. However....I think most of us also realize that these issues are blown way out of proportion. The issues have/will only affect a small amount of people who own these laptops. The reason these problems are so prevalent on these forums are because this is the best place on the web to get your questions answered....and to bite and cuss and mope and cry....and have sympathizers when you are dealing with notebooks. People who have good experiences don't often feel the need to exult in joy and praise the Dell XPS god. So what I ask my fellow Dell Owners to fill out this poll truthfully so there is a thread we can (hopefully) link to when people point out the issues of the XPS line and suggest against it.

EDIT: Please link this to other XPS owners you know so they can truthfully tell us what they think....and so the sample doesn't only consist of dell fanboys and girls

have you have serious problems with you xps laptop.....its a yes or no question.....I guess you mean the loving of the laptop.....perhaps......i'll see what other people say and fix accordingly....unfortunately you can't change polls.

I think that there's so many threads about problems with the xps series is that so many people have one now there's bound to have some problems it's like multiplying cells, when u have a lot some evolve (best example i can give someone come up with a better one ^^)

dont get me wrong, the m1530 is an awesome laptop, but of the three that i've had sent to me, each has had its own problems. take from that what you will...

It's all relative... Mine came with keyboard bulge and some other cosmetic defects. Would have been a serious problem if I didn't already have experience taking apart some other dell laptops I've had in the past. But I voted that I'm happy with no serious problems.

The M1530 is wonderful.. I love it so much...

My XPS m1530 came with a badly defected screen and the volume up touch control didn't register at all. Pretty bad quality control @ Dell it seems.

I got a full refund and bought a better spec m1530 with a 24" Ultrasharp lcd bundle (AAFES deal) for the same price! No tax & free shipping I'm giving Dell one final shot. The Dell Inspiron 8100 still runs nicely today after 6 years of usage.
