This laptop is a bigger and better version of Dell’s popular XPS M1330. It is thin and light and has a 15.4″ high definition widescreen. It is also a well designed, attractive and extremely functional Gageet.

It has a starting weight of 5.8 lb and a starting price of 999$. The screen lacks LED backlighting unlike the M1330. It has reasonable 3 hour + battery life and well-designed and responsive keyboard, touchpad and media buttons. The colour options available are Midnight Blue, Alpine White, Tuxedo Black and Crimson Red.

These laptops use an Intel Core2 Duo processor, which goes up to a 2.60GHz Intel T7800 processor. It can have 1-4 GB of RAM and a hard disk drive of up to 320 GB. You have the option of a 256MB Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT or a 128MB Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS for the graphics card. The former option uses high-performance GDDR3 memory. The M1530 includes a Biometric Finger Print Reader and has a built-in Web cam. For connectivity, it has Hyperband Multi-Antenna technology, Wi-Fi, and internal Mobile Broadband options.

Its limitations are the fact that it only has three USB ports. It also has noise issues with Slot-loading drive and the hard drive. Nevertheless it’s an excellent laptop and has great style and performance. It can definitely be considered an improvement over Dell’s M1330 in many areas.
