Dell XPS M1330

The Dell XPS M1330 is an ultraportable performance laptop that's part of the XPS line of notebooks which focus on power and features. The 13.3" screen is LED backlit based which allows for a slimmer profile. Similar to other laptops in this price range, the M1330 is built on Intel's Santa Rosa platform which includes the Core 2 Duo processor, integrated B/G/N wireless, and Bluetooth. A separate video card, the nVidia GeForce 8400M GS, is available as a configuration option as an upgrade over the standard integrated graphics.

While no Blu-Ray or HD-DVD configuration exists, with HDMI protected content playback will be supported. Other ports include two USB, one mini-FireWire, and a multicard reader.

ya, that's why the new laptops from Dell, and others including Sony and HP are upping the ante in the looks department. Thank God for Apple who actually cares about aesthetics and forces other companies to step up their game.
