The 13-inch Dell XPS M1330 is such a pleasant surprise. It has a thin, sexy design with a strong performance. It boasts a backlit-LED display and included media remote control. Dell has finally put design first with the head-turning XPS M1330 laptop, emphasizing both the "thin" and "light" aspects of the thin-and-light category without sacrificing features or performance.
Unlike the bulky, unattractive 12-inch Dell XPS m1210, the M1330 has clearly been built with an emphasis on good looks and clean lines, ditching the earlier model's cumbersome, rotating Web cam and thick chassis. The keyboard tray is brushed silver with black accents, while the lid is available in black, white, or red. Dell manages to squeeze a good number of extras onto the keyboard tray, including touch-sensitive controls for volume and media playback, an eject button for the slot-loading DVD drive, and a quick-launch button for Dell's proprietary Media Direct software.
One of the main features of the XPS M1330 is the optional LED backlit display, which touts better color reproduction, higher brightness, lower power consumption and a thinner panel. The speakers are located at the top of the laptop, above the media controls and are what you'd expect for a small laptop. They can get pretty loud, but there's minimal bass response and mids and highs can become quite shrill at high volume. The keyboard is fairly firm, with the slightest bit of flex if keys are pressed firmly. In terms of keystroke, it definitely has a 'different' feel from a Thinkpad keyboard. The touchpad is responsive and the buttons feel very nice, with a good amount of travel and no loud click. The media keys are touch-sensitive as opposed to mechanical buttons found on the rest of Dell's notebook range.
Given the limited space available, the number of I/O ports is relatively limited on the XPS M1330. The back of the laptop is completely devoid of ports, with the space taken up by a fan vent and the battery. The front of the laptop has a mic input, two headphone outputs, and an 8-in-1 card reader for various types of SD cards, MMC, xD and Memory Stick.
The right side is home to the slot-load DVD burner, an attachment for a computer lock, as well as a single USB port. The left side is busier, with a 4-pin Firewire, HDMI, another USB port, 10/100mb Ethernet, a HD-15 VGA output and the power jack. There are only two USB ports.
The Creative webcam can take video at up to 640x480 resolution while still pictures can be taken at up to 1280x1024.
