This slim laptop has a size of 0.9 inches at its thinnest and 1.3 inches at its rear with a weight starting at 2.6kg, how can this be too thick to carry? The increased size with greater processing capacity makes this series cutting edge. The unit screen is at 15.4 inches, with bright and brilliant color hues and can be viewed in many angles. The integrated HDMI makes the unit produce great digital image output. The machine further provides an XGA display at 1280 by 800 display. It also provides a 2.0 mega pixel camera with the CCFL screen standard. The increased laptop size and its new powerful build is the new edge of this XPS series. The 15.4 widescreen display is gorgeously bright and brilliant with its straight and horizontal viewing and so with the vertical angles. Moreover, its built-in HDMI is a wonderful thing to look up to for a digital video output. The difference between M1530 and M1330 is that the former offers an XGA (1280x800) display, while the latter had the option for a thinner and more power efficient LED backlit display. However, M1530 provides 2.0MP web cam with the standard thinker CCFL screen. But who has the better touch? Well, the two XPS models have similar keyboard format. The keypad is firm and is soft for the fingers. However, it produces clicking sounds but comfort is still overrates the noise. Its scroll areas are reactive as well. Additionally, the XPS M1530 has a more powerful graphics card, the nVidia 8600M GT, for a better graphic display performance compared to that of an nVidia 8400 GS of XPS M1330. Also, the M1530 offers up to 2.80GHz Intel T7800 processor while M1330 had 2.2GHz Intel T7500 processor. Moreover, XPS 1530 uses GDDR3 RAM rather than GDDR2 which is commonly used. When it comes to audio performance, we can have it rated as average because of the absence of a subwoofer. And they are exactly the same with XPS M1330. The speaker is located at the top of the keyboard. Other than music and sound effects, the natural scream of slot-loading optical drive is clearly audible. And this issue always involves the hard drive. Its quite a big off really. In totality, we can say that Dells XPS M1530 is good but not enough. With its downside on noisy hard drives and limited options for screen optimization, it could fall to second-best to its counterparts within the price of $1089.
