When to buy the m1530?

wait for the outlet. but you can get a 1520

I don't have coupons available where I live as well and Dell here quite often gives the best price when a new model is first released.......or that was the case with the M1730,which is now more expensive now,than when I bought it in sept.

With the M1530,personally,I would wait until the led screen is available,just because I'd like to try one and I'm presuming that the lid will be thinner on the led screened version,the non-led screen one available now seems a bit thick and not in keeping with general look of the notebook IMO

I was wondering about the power of the 5250 myself...when is the last day we can order with overnight shipping to get this thing by xmas? I know dell is usually VERY fast...I bet we still have time.

COD4 it can do on minimum, because my M1330 with it's 8400M GS can play COD4 on minimum.

HOWEVER, if you're going to get an M1530, why are you bothering with an 8400? Since you are price sensitive, I recommend that you either save up for an upgrade to an 8600M (HUGE performance upgrade), or get a Vostro instead.

It's the lowest end processor (1.5Ghz). Definitely upgrade it to at least a 1.8Ghz or 2.0Ghz processor.

If money is tight and you can't afford the upgrade, then it is better to go with a Vostro laptop with nice upgrades than to get an M1530 with mediocre parts.

I'm waiting for a screen with more resolution. 1530 is pointless you might as well go small and get the 1330 same resolution, unless you absolutely need the 8600 for gaming.
