yippe finally i can use my m1330 at last very nice and i've already fell in love with it when i first see its box anyway thx dopoD810 for the new bios update

Anyone flashed the BIOS to A11 already?

How's the improvement works?

Yes I have flashed the A11 BIOS already, performance wise nothing much, as stated in Dell's website it is suppose to enhance thermal control.

Currently thinking of purchasing this model though a bit late but really interested.

Just need some views on this model since it's already been 1 year or so since it came out in Malaysia from the people who anticipate and very excited early buyers of this model or others.

How is it now guys?the overall reviews?

Erm... Apart from the palm rest is warm, graphic glitches due to overheating (not all units suffers this) and some minor build quality issue, I think this model is very good.

If you don't mind the slightly bigger M1530, I suggest you can get that one to have less headache.

guys my bluetooth was working perfectly fine but now
from my phone to bluetooth it says sending failed
but i can send from my lappie 2 phone..u guys know wats the problem?

what phone r u using? i'm having the same prob (kinda) with my wife Nokia 5610. can't send files from the hp to the M1330. even after Dell replaced my bluetooth device, still the same prob persists.

im using nokia 3230 but previously mine can lo
actually dell replaced my motherboard .

sometime the setting of bluetooth tend to change automatically...
better check it again

for me?need to click receive file, then can only receive

So far from my observation, m1330 is quite nice and a good laptop to buy.. I have no problem with yet.. As for the heat problem.. I solve it by using a notebook cooler.. Lesser heat produce For me, 1530 is bulky and hard to carry around the campus

Yeap... the palmrests are warm. No complaints about the rest of the unit though.

i've checked the setting for bluetooth all is the same

thx for your replies guys.anymore of that?
using it in campus too so the lighter the better
any thing that i should ask for or enquire to while purchasing?
now they're having the 9 cell batt promotion i think.get it for free

Last Day for 9 Cell so you might wanna hurry with your decision making.

Erm... Mine last time I ordered default already 9-cell plus Dell Care Premium. And got another 500 rebate for purchase of M1330 above 5k.

I have to upgrade to get a T8300 C2D Intel though.

so in total how much you paid for?

btw, 9 cell batt extended to 30th...

guys. if you want to get this xps m1330. be prepared to get it serviced/motherboard replaced every 6 months. after i bought this machine myself i read extensively on it that the dedicated graphics card Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS that is soldered on the mainboard will cause too much heat such that after prolong use like 6 months or so, you will funny lines across your screen and funny colours like white screen/ blue screen. it means that your motherboard has just died. so a word of advice, get a 3 years warranty if you want to buy it.

All in all, this is a very nice machine. however, there are some features that could be improved. also the new motherboard bios A11 is trying to solve this problem but i doubt it is of much of a help. thanks.
