Test & Kauf 06/08, Germany, May 2008: Overall rating: 73/100, configuration: 79/100, mobility: 75/100, performance: 60/100. Dell’s Precision M2300 is recommended as one of the best in the category of laptops up to 15” and under 1,500 Euros.

T3, Italy, June 2008: Overall rating: 4/5.

The XPS M1530 is really different. Outside it is sexy and full of light, and underneath the red cover, it is even more surprising: the fastest Intel processor, and powerful nVidia graphics card. The HDMI port allows you to connect the notebook to an HDTV if you think 15.4-inches is not enough. The notebook is a little heavy at 3kg, but has 2GB RAM, a 320GB hard disk, an optical drive, and all the optional ports you need. Battery life is three hours, which isn’t bad considering the notebook’s dimensions. It’s really a bargain if you consider the price, and if you choose the (RED) version, part of what you spend goes towards an African project against AIDS.

Pros: Design, price

Cons: Weight

Type of publication: Consumer tech


Chip 06/08, Germany, May 2008:The XPS M1530 is recommended as the best-priced model in the “all-rounder” category.

It is equipped with the following features: Intel Core 2 Duo T250 CPU (2.0GHz), 2GB RAM, nVidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics card, 160GB hard disk drive, and Windows Vista. The 15-inch display provides 1920x1200 resolution. The battery lasts over one hour when running in full load, and 3 hours 32 minutes in office mode. Those who need an all-round model should be geared to Dell’s price of 1,050 Euros.

Pros: Very good all-round model, excellent price
