When Dell announced it would be overhauling its premium notebook brand, the XPS line, with an ultraportable in the form of the XPS M1330, the company was clearly on to a winning formula. So, it comes as no surprise this latest model is exactly the same...
Great design, powerful
Not as cool as the lighter M1330
A new larger screen on a modern classic design may be heavier but it’s still a great machine
When it came to playing games, the M1530 uses the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT with 256MB of dedicated memory, which is great for playing most games without having to turn the features off. Extra features consist of a slot-loading DVD rewriter as well as an...

Award: Best Buy!
Dell's XPS brand is associated with gaming laptops, but the M1530 excels in a wide variety of tasks. This model has been generously upgraded over the M1530 we reviewed in Shopper 243 but costs just £20 more.

Dell's turn toward a 'design-first' philosophy continues to pay off with the XPS M1530, easily the best-looking 15-inch laptop in recent memory
Thin, sexy design ; Includes media remote control and HDMI output
Not as revolutionary as the previous 13-inch version
Dell includes an industry-standard one-year parts-and-labour warranty with the system, including gaming and on-site support, a perk for customers of the higher-end XPS line

Award: Recommended!
Dell takes the superb M1330 chassis and expands it to a 15.4in frame. Is this a stroke of genius or has it missed the mark?
As 15.4 notebooks go the XPS M1530 is exceedingly slim and good looking, making it great option for those who want a desktop replacement but don't want to sacrifice on styling or features.

On the one hand, it is a gaming machine. On the other, it is an entertainment system. The XPS M1530 is one of the few we have seen which can handle both roles nicely.
Excellent gaming performance; touch-sensitive buttons; slim and light for a midsize machine; good feature set which includes a fingerprint sensor; mini-remote control that stores in the ExpressCard slot
No subwoofer; few USB ports; no modem
Don't let the slim design and relatively light heft fool you. This XPS is one powerful gaming portable with an impressive feature set for work and play.
