I'm having a difficult time deciding between the XPS m1530 and the XPS m1330. I will be using this laptop for casual gaming, portability (school), and home use. I was dead set on buying the m1330, but when the m1530 came out, with some better options and a more attractive price tag.. i started thinking.

So i guess my main questions would be:

-----
1) Would it be worth purchasing the XPS m1530 now, or wait untill Dell releases more options, such as a higher quality screen? (would i be able to return my laptop and get it replaced with the new screen if Dell updated?)

2) Would the m1530 be portable enough to fit my needs? (to school, to friends house, on the road..etc)
-----

I'm just worried that with no reviews out yet for the m1530, if it would be a smart buy. Both systems have similar specs, only differing in areas such as video card and HDD, where the m1530 offers a better option.

thanks,
Kyle

buy a 1520 and if you really want a 1330 look at the outlet. especially for both and save alot of extra money

if you go xp on the 1330 use the 1210's sigma audio drivers.

so far not much to complain about

I tried the m1330 but found the screen a little too small for my liking. Too much scrolling around. Portability is the main reason you would buy the M1330. I just ordered the M1530 for the extra screen size. I do carry my laptop from jobsite to jobsite but the little extra weight will be worth it.

You really got to decide which features are most important to you.
