Got my XPS M1530 the other day. Love it. I can't use it until Christmas though! Only 9 days...
I think the Dell Dock you get with it is a really cool accessory, there are no icons on my desktop! Does anyone know If you can download alternate themes and Icons for the Dell Dock?

Can't wait until I can use it.

Got my 1537 yesterday and I must say I'm very impressed, it seems like a very solid notebook. After i made a few tweaks it was running top notch. The only complaint i have is the flex in the keyboard, but I will get used to it eventually.

Specs:
Intel C2D T5800 (2GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB Cache)
3GB DDR2 800Mhz
256MB ATI Mobility 3450
320GB 5400RPM
6 Cell Li-Ion
8x CD/DVD Burner
