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.

hello guys..recently i posted that i couldnt use the bluetooth to transfer files from my hp to my lappie..but i jus bought a new hp..n the prob is still the same la..so xps bluetooth got problem ? wat 2 do??

It's a well known problem for M1330 series only.

Well in that case how many users here did have their M1330 serviced frequently ?

Results from Google shows a lot of them having the same problem and advised to flash to the latest A11 BIOS. I too have flashed to it so I hope I won't encounter it. Those who were on the A10 BIOS did a test and showed that the temperature was quite high and they were suspecting that the A10 BIOS had poor thermal management.

yup I'm really interested to know bout it too!

there are loads...and remember ur not counting in ppl who do not surf the forums..also if you include other forums...the number is big..

i had loads of issues, till i asked for a full refund..i know of people who have had up to 3 replacement units and i know lots who keep servicing theirs blindly - brand new units..and when you argue, they keep saying dell is good because they come and repair for you if anything goes wrong...they come because lots of their machines have probs, of course not all have probs, at this point, the number of problematic units has gone down substantially. but knowing dell, if its not today, then its tomorrow. speaking from experience of owning few Dells and having lotsa friends who own them too.

true but not totally true. in reality, m1330 itself has a poor thermal design that doesnt cool the gpu fast enough if used under intensive load. thus while the A10 bios makes the XPS M1330 a quieter machine due to the slower fan speed and timings, it makes it hotter. A11 just makes the fan speed faster and spins more, that in conclusion is trying to lower down the cpu and gpu temperature. but there you go having a noiser m1330. but by how much, i cant really tell.
