This review is for MS..been long time since I have got one uploaded..:) I was on the look out for a small screen, light weighted laptop for I travel a lot. My earlier one was bulky and so portable notebook is essential...
Checked out various brands, I ended up getting many tabloids in 12.1 inch range however tabloid didnt convince me for the price nor the rotating display, looked more like a Portable DVD player with a 12 inch screen.
Dell XPS M 1330 happened by luck, Ordered one on https://dell.com Its a refurbished peice however its price in India is at Approx 50K INR,
I have got 2GB Ram, 160 GB Sata HD, 13.1 inch screen, Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6Ghz processor @ 33kINR (delivered in U.S)
Its DVD drive is quiet unique unlike the ones I have seen, its not the stereo typed push n pull ones. Its inbuilt and non detectable without noticing it. Dvd slides in automatically when put inside the drive.
Quite a deal...pure white, preloaded with Windows Vista Home premium(though I would have preferred Windows XP).
This one is sleek, Neat and perfect for a business traveler. The onsite Support / Telephone support makes your life even more easy from DELL. I recommend this for the Looks, Support, Usability and Price. The nearest competitor which I liked is in the range of 1.1L (that of Sony vaio with 12.1 inch screen)
100 % Value for money - DELL.
Color of my laptop - White.
Cheers
