dani if u can just take the refund la..i can tell u, you will not regret it....even if i end up paying more, or get specs not as good, still will never even consider Dell....i know some corporate and a number of ppl too moving away from Dell..

From the past few replies, I noticed you guys don't use the graphics driver supplied by Dell and instead use the 1 from automatic updates. Do any of u guys face HDMI problems?

no prob

eh ..... arggggh .. i am about to buy an xps 1330 ... so much problem with this overheating issue aaaaaaaaaa

dang .. which 13" shud i buy then

i totally agree with n20nine... given me a choice now, I would not have opt for a dell anymore as the market is flooded with a lot of other 13 inch laptop already..

the engineer had to come like 6 times just to get the cosmetic image of the laptop fix and till today there is some parts are still ugly and defective..

my hdd is still vibrating so strong.. i cant do anything... i have my hdd changed 4 times... all of the 4 hdd vibrates when i touch it on the palmrest.. but the 1st hdd did not vibrate at all though... i went and tocuh the xps at the show room.. did not vibrate at all.....

I would opt for the HP now... the new 13 inch one though thicker and heavier

n20nine, would LOVE to be able to persuade those Dell people to give me a full refund...the question is, will I be able to get it??? My lappy is still about 6 months old.

Anyway, thx for the advice dude

*Sigh...

M1330 is also plague with problems.

Why Dell laptops suck so much?

I own a M1530 and i have changed 2 HDD,1 mobo,palm rest,plastic hinge,center panel in 6 months.

Im buying Asus next time.Dont care if it cost me 6k.At least their hardware are much higher quality than Dell.My ancient P4 mobo still work even got struck by lightning.

My ancient P4 mobo still work even got struck by lightning? wow lucky you still alve..

mine ok jer..

is dell xps good?? any comments?? for 3.5k laptop.. is over price or value for money for all the features??

The 3.5k version only comes with an integerated graphic card which I think it is a waste for such a beautiful system. You'll be better off with the GeForce 8400M GS at just above 4k.

hackintosh otw. bare with me. ahahaha. damn BT slow

I'm agreed with you. I used the 8400M GS and quite happy with the performances. You can see in youtube for the sample.. quite nice even can play COD 4 and Crysis (low setting)

wow, so many problems for 1330 ar, i hope the xps 1530 wont be like this!

juz saw my m1330 today..after come back home..hehe so happy.. guys how to remove the blank cover? I want to insert my express card remote and I already read the guide book...still don't know how to remove the blank cover...and how to take out the cover for micro memory card slot too.

just push it in with ur finger tip

for vista 64 users, dell website got a video driver which is coded R185928, can successfully installed to your 1330?

Your temperature is when it is idling ? If so then it is bad but if you are running some graphics intensive application then it is pretty good.

well u can act. have a call or email them about the sticker. maybe they can post to you?
