Dell XPS M1330

Very nice.

About time we get to talk about it LOL!

Though prices have yet to be revealed...

No, the Latitudes are overstyled by business laptop standards, with that silver lid and stuff. Other business laptops are square and black (IBM) or dark gray (HP Compaq).
Inspirons, on the other hand, live to look ugly. Aside from the low price, the only notable thing is how bad they look. Thats not a good thing. I think they will be improving the styling with the new Inspirons, or at least on the Vostro/Mantra lines. They're (hopefully) smart enough to realize the main reason HP is beating them right now is because their notebooks look like you paid about 2k for them, even though they only cost about $800. Dells, on the other hand, look like they are 5 years old (the design hasn't changed since '03), and they cost almost the same.

Thats the part that scares me.

This will be my first notebook almost for sure, so long as the price dosen't become astronomical.

your first notebook ever?

Red lids are hawt

Why Dell only extend the über cool designs for the XPS range is beyond me. Wouldn't kill them to add some touches to their standard consumer/business ranges.

because XPS is the shizzle

Yea, I'm expecting at least $2000 considering the specs and other rivaling notebooks in that size category. like the SZ or the W7s.

Did the M1210 have an optional fingerprint scanner? Cause this one does.

Also, the M1330 seems to have ditched the rotating webcam for a sleeker, stationary version. Not cool, but I understand why it was done.

while the specs might be somewhat true, do you realize the pictures are either photoshoped or show concept design? First of all there are no letters on keys and past experience reminds me that Dell never designed aesthetically appealing laptops.

Don't get me wrong I wish Dell would make something like that, but this is just too good to be true.

you do realize this is fake? There are no letters on keys and past experience tells me that Dell never designed aesthetically appealing laptops

That is why they've lost market share...so maybe they are addressing that now.

All i can say is .. prayers have been answered..... thank you.
