Hi guys,

I need a new laptop to replace my Acer8104WLM-i which ive had for the past 3 years.

I want a notebook that will be capable of all - Gameing, Multi Tasking, Video editing, Streaming (wireless N+), netoworking etc
4gig ram, 2.4Ghz + etc

I want the best spec for upto £1500.
Im from the UK so its around $2900

Im looking for a minimum of 3years warrenty on it as well.

What do you guys suggest?

I have the M1330. I also am not aware of a M1370.
I got my M1330 at the outlet. It replaced my E1705. I really like the lighter weight. The LED screen is really nice. I am not sure which brand of screen I have though. Not that it matters to me. I am picky though. The screen on mine is perfect.

Gotcha. I looked at the 1730 briefly. But the math hit my brain and I quickly deduced that its price plus tax would take about $5,000 and that fantasy was gone. I can't justify that much cash for a laptop and needed something that was slightly more portable anyways. So the M1530 is a nice compromise of performance, price, and portability IMO.

Yes, if that is important. Forget the M1330, I would think. I have seen some reviews that it can game somewhat though. The M1530, if you want better portability. The M1730 for the best gaming you can get from Dell at the moment. A monster best left on a desk

ok im strongly considering the M1530 as for £1200 I can maximise the spec to 2.4Ghz, 4gig Ram, 256mb Graphics Card, 9 cell battery, 3 years warrenty, wireless n card etc

Just one worry, will it have an over heating problem?
Also if I phone dell and customise the laptop to get rid of Vista, as I hate it.
WIll that be possible to reduce the price?

Oh and im not that much of a gamer, just few games that I will hook up from laptop to TV to play.

How this M1530 -
