Dell Studio XPS 13. I like the touch pad, screen is very bright, the slot load DVD player is very cool, keyboard is very nice(including the large backspace), very attractive and light weight. I didn’t like how hot it gets. Not a fan of glossy screen. Doesn’t seem to be well vented, the battery is difficult to remove, didn’t come with the remote, the m1330 comes with a better case, no blue ray option. XPS 1340, Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4ghz/1066Mhz FSB 3M L2 Cache) 4GB, DDR3, 1067 mhz 2 Dimm forxps 1340 NVIDIA geforce NB9M-GE – 256MB 128GB Solid State Drive 13.3 Inch Wide Screen WXGA WLED Backlit LCD with 1.3 MP Camera no more blue screen of death…so far cooler I use www.samsclub.com

why do you want a laptop when you have a computer already, my first computer was a macbook air and i never got any other computer since. well i will get a macbook on my confirmation money.
@Andoomo Not so happy with XPS studio 13. I had to stop many shadow processes that were freezing up the disk I/O (got 7200 RPM still now good). I like the picture quality and processing speed (obvious to Penyrin processors). I felt that I should have waited a few weeks. Now you can get Core i7 processors for the same price. Noticed Win7 is taking almost 1.3gig RAM and XPS reserves another .25 gig for hardware. I’ve got 4gig, but thinking should’ve got six as I want to virtualize my pc.
I too lost my XPS M1210 due to Motherboard failure. Cost $300-$400 just for the MB. I loved that machine and now in the market for something comparable. How do you like your XPS Studio 13?
windows xp our you out of your mind vista was hell but xp I can’t even look at it
Helo everyone at the moment I am stuggling to find a good laptop for tec in the summer. If any of you could help me decide a good laptop with 500GB HDD, 4GB RAN 512MB or lower of Graphics card and a good bulid, it would be a great help.
Although for Dell the price difference between P8800 and P9600 is only $80 (the sales person told me, the market price difference is around $107), during customization dell shows about $130 difference between the price of P9600 and P8800.
I bought through EPP. I noticed that the Dell is bit mischievious. In all their discount models, they offer low end CPUs in the respective processor families. For eg., in EPP the highest processer offered was P8800. Later I called them directly and pissed of the sales person so much that he gave me the same configuration but wth P9600 processor for the same price – along with the EPP discounts. but I still think Dell is making a lot of profit margin.
Solid state shouldn’t be loud, it doesn’t have the spindle like the SATA drives have. I am waiting for my XPS Studio 13 should be arriving in couple of days. A month ago I lost XPS M1210 at JFK . Although I used it for 31/2 years I loved the laptop so much. That’s why I am again going back to XPS family, although was bit intimidated by MacBook Pro/Air
Type in Windows 7 versions into google and go to the wikipedia page and scroll down and check out the comparison chart.
For most people Windows 7 home premium should be fine, seems good to me.
Hey there I was just wondering, whats the differences in Genuine Windows® 7 Ultimate, 64bit, English and Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English? is there a real difference in it that it will enable you to do more than the other? thx

Can’t wait for mine …
P8800 2.66
WLED screen
256GB SSD
8GB RAM
9500 256MB Video (benchmarks better than the g210 in some games, cheaper, runs cooler)
ya man i didnt know sorry XD im getting mine tommorow and its comin witht hte 512mb version with like 320gb harddrive with 4 g of ram. its gonna be awsome. so when did you buy yours?
battery life is my only problem after 10 months
512 wasn’t available when I bought mine
dude you shoulda upgraded its graphics on the website. 9400 to the g210 i mean really 256 mb isnt enoupgh but 512mb is enough
@bajojoes preemptive demo, some may think it is a high end “gaming” laptop
dude this wasnt ment to play like high end games mostly like ,spore and sims, world of warcraft ect. not crysis
Pack it back up and send it back to dell, too many problems with this model
no don’t buy this laptop for gta4.
Get something with a 1 gig graphics card….
@256mb this is not good enough…
well above, sorry.
Looks like you probably can’t really play it, but there’s other laptops with about four times the graphics power.
Also keep in mind that GTA4 has been criticized for having high system requirements and it’s been criticized for not running to well even if you’re well about the recommended system.
It also needs a very powerful CPU as well as GPU, a lot of people said they should of done a better job putting it on PC>
can we play gta 4 on this laptop because I want to take a lapto which can play gta 4
