to all brother's and sisters.. i'm planning on buying a xps m1330, and this are the specs. please comment on it (is it good enough, too good , or not good enough) thanks a lot. all you time are much appreciated.

XPS M1330 Product Red
Core 2 Duo Processor T9300
Windows Vista Ultimate
Red LCD with integrated Webcam
4GB (2x2048mb) 667MHZ Dual Channel DDR2 Sdram
200GB SATA 7200RPM Performance Hard Drive
GeForce 8400m Gs
Dell care premium 3 years.

all this specs will cost me RM6266. the only reason that i chose product red is because after customizing to this spec, it's cheaper if it's product red. now they only have an offer of RM300 for laptops above Rm4000, previously they had another off which is RM500 for laptops above RM5000. Should i wait for the offer to come back? And i noticed that the price has increased, should i wait for it to drop again?

There are also news that there will be a new XPS launching? anyone can clarify on that? thanks for all your time.

why dont u opt for a son vaio sz or a fujitsu? we that money ur paying, in my humble opinion, i would get those instead of paying for a dell xps product red.. though i must admit it look cool..

there is no assurance that u paid rm6266 , ur laptop will have no defect.. dell offer good support but their quality is not there though..

sony sz is nice as well.. opt for that.. it looks cool.. fujitsu s6000 series is thin and light as well...anyway that is just my opinion hehe..
i've looked through sony sz, but then first of all it cost more and at the same time the specs aren't that good compared to xps1330. i was thinking although dell doesn't have that good quality after all, it can be compensated with complete cover. rather than i get sz and the some shit accident happen to my laptop. it's like, although paying 6k for xps cost a little too much, it's good (specs wise) and if anything goes wrong, i have warranty.. so, for RM6000 i have peace of mind for 3 years? wat do u think.

I also bought the Product RED one about 2 weeks ago (only upgraded proc to T9300), when the RM500 rebate was available.
Why only RM300 rebate now? I'm guessing coz they give 9-cell battery by default. Mine n all previous setups only came with 6-cell.  sad.gif
The upgrade from 6-cell to 9-cell is definitely more than RM200 though (during "old" times).

I'm sure the price did not increase, as I've been monitoring them for quite long  tongue.gif

My comment
- I always view 4GB RAM as a waste on 32bit OS because the available RAM will be at most around 3.2GB.
- And you sure you don't want the fingerprint reader? lol. It allows you to log in to a Windows account without typing password.

hey, wat do you mean that the with 32bit OS the ram available will be most around 3.2gb? sorry.. i'm a noob.. can please explain more?

and yeah.. the fingerprint reader.. hahah .. it's no more and option when u customize, it's already included if u decide to purchase xps1330. i know cos i can't find the option but when they quote me through email, it was included in the system.
