Well the specs of the currrent xps 1530 is quite good but it lacks something, DELL consider another option about the screen resolution and WLED and also it lacks 1 USB not like inspiron 1520 it has 4 USB ports i think you should put 4 USB Ports, also the Speakers i think you should put some nice speakers on it like HP done to their pavilion line maybe you should team up with BOSE or LOGITECH or CREATIVE , and also improve your touch sensitive media buttons and i have heard many complaints about the xps 1330 slot load optical drive ,well i don't know if this problem is with an 1530 also , I'm Planning to buy one but it seems that the DELL XPS 1530 right now has a lack of features but well over all its a Very Good Nice Design , and also make the DELL logo at the back of the screen Glow put some led lights on it so that there is kind of touch that you had an XPS laptop like the high end model that it has some lights on the Logo, and the aluminum brushed finish i think you must improve it might consider another material. i hope you should also consider the tuxedo black color to be a GLOSSY FINISH like the HP pavilion , but maintain the design with silver lines as well as it will be glossy also, well over all a Dell has a nice and a Very Good Product and i hope they will apply some of ideas i talk about , the last thing is that Please change the Color of the remote maybe design a remote that its only on a XPS line because the color is boring, well keep it up dell and i hope you will apply this on your DELL XPS 1530 this coming 2008 o hope there is an improvement

12/13/07		 ok jervis961 thanks for the comment , well yeah i missed the brushed aluminium part, aluminum can be frustrating specially when there is scratches , i would also like to consider the operating system maybe they could put the windows vista Service pack 1 that fixes some problems of vista and also windows XP and the improvement of the design of the Dell remote , inspiron and XPS remote are the same design with gray color , i think dell should consider this and make a exclusive design of a remote in the XPS line , they said XPS line is their PREMIUM line right? so maybe they would also emphasis on the itsy bitsy design of dell XPS more on 1530 consumer budget line laptop .

12/13/07		 Personally, I'm looking for a 13.3 inch powerhouse but look to the M1530 as an alternative. Here is my idea.

12/14/07		 i wish dell would also Partition the Large 250 gigabyte of Hard drive space , any comments?

12/27/07		 I was planning to purchase a XPS Notebook. However, when I read other user reviews I noticed the complaints about not having enough USB ports. That was enough to prevent me from going ahead in purchasing a XPS Notebook. Dell's online specs don't even mention that there is only ONE USB port. I have no idea what was Dell thinking when designing the XPS 1530. Was Dell trying to rush out this notebook system to the market, and never stopped for a moment to contemplate about this issue. Look at the competing market. What other company would only put ONE USB port on their high-end notebook? Four USB ports should be the minimum. I am also reading that USB 3.0 will be coming out late in the year 2008, or early 2009.
