Dell Inspiron XPS M1530

As I was after a multimedia laptop that could play HD video but didn't want to go crazy with the spending, this was a very attractive proposition to me. I have the version with the T7500 CPU, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, 250GB HDD and at the time I got a cracking deal and saved myself a lot of money with the memory, CPU and warranty upgrades. To behold, I think it's a really nice looking machine, closed or open but it's more than a pretty face as its performance matches its looks. It processes video and images pretty quickly thanks to its CPU and discrete GPU. HD video playback is effortless and very smooth. The wireless reception is brilliant and the ...  Read the complete review

Having owned one for the past year and abit, there area few bits of information that is essential. I purchased this laptop back in 2008.

I've been using the Dell M1530 for a little over a year now and I'm happy to say that I can't find too much to fault about it. It's a fairly well-specified laptop and could be considered as mid-range. Although it has everything I currently need in a PC, hardcore gamers and people working with image manipulation software, video editing, etc, might require a somewhat higher specified grahics card. The case is a stylish affair. Mine is black and silver but the machine is also offered in red and blue options for a slight premium on the cost. Overall build quality feels good. It's not excessively heavy but feels reassuring solid. The laptop is held ...  Read the complete review

Very good value for the money. But wouldn't be my first choice again. But like everything else it has pluses and minuses. The pluses first: Very nice design, out and in. Fantastic sharp screen in my opinion, very glossy. Good speakers, camera is ok but only in strong daylight, you get about 25-30fps. In the evening with a desk light you only get about 7-8 fps. Very long life battery, lasts up to 3,5 hours. Keybord quite nice and easy, you can get use to it. That's about all. People say it is good for gaming but I never played anything, so can't judge. Ok now the minuses in my opinion only. Firstly the two usb ports on the left one on top of the other, they so tight, ...  Read the complete review
