To start this review about the Dell XPS M1530, let us review the specifications of this laptop. Usual laptops under the similar category have a DVD burner but the Dell XPS ups the ante by having a slot loading DVD burner. However, in terms of USB 2.0 ports, the Dell XPS M1530 lags behind 1 port having 3 ports on it but industry standard is at 4.

This laptop has an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor of 2.3 Gigahertz, making its performance very respectable, allowing for multiple applications to run with ease.

For the game heads out there, it has a Nvidia GeForce 8600 graphic card which may lag beid the GeForce 8800 series but it can still perform quite decently, giving a suitable number of frames per second in most games.

This laptop also has a great exterior, especially the crimson red version. It also comes <p><a href=”http://www.viewtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/dell-m1530.jpg” mce_href=”http://www.viewtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/dell-m1530.jpg”><img class=”alignleft size-medium wp-image-206″ title=”dell-m1530″ src=”http://www.viewtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/dell-m1530-300×204.jpg” mce_src=”http://www.viewtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/dell-m1530-300×204.jpg” alt=”" width=”300″ height=”204″ /></a>To start this review about the Dell XPS M1530, let us review the specifications of this laptop.

It also comes in black and white but the red version is a definite eye candy. Its keyboard is colored black with some silver brushings. The Dell XPS M1530 is also wider than the XPS M1330 model as the previous version is only at 13 inches. However, some may not be too receptive with the 15 inch screen as it lessens privacy if you are in the plane but it makes you have a better movie watching experience with the wider screen.</p> <p>Just like other Dell laptops, this piece of hardware candy also has one year of labor and parts warranty and a home service perk.</p>
