Dell XPS M1210 Core-2-Duo T5600 (1.83ghz) 2GB 100Gb Dvd+/-rw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this laptop a few years ago and it was absoulutely awesome! It was listed with Dell as a gaming computer and it was good for games as well as all of the work related things I needed to do. Just under 5 pounds it was pretty easy to tote around when i was on work related trips. This model is the last XPS that Dell made with a 12.1 screen. The dementions of this laptop is a nice "in-between" size: it is a bit bigger than a netbook but also a bit smaller than a laptop with a 13" screen.
This baby has 4 USB ports and that is a bit difficult to find these days. You never think you are going to need all those USB ports until it happens! The hard drive is upgradable to a 500GB if you want to go that high (I upgraded mine to a 320GB and it worked fine. Everyone that saw it loved it! I even had offers to purchase it but I always refused!
Also, not only is it nearly impossible to find a laptop with this size screen, number of USB ports but to have all of this AND it's Core 2 Duo AND it has a CD/DVD+RW drive is a dream come true. The only problem that I had was that the regular battery only lasted two years so I had to buy another one. If that is the only issue with a laptop, I think it's worth it.
So if you want something small, but not to small and you want it to have the capacity to handle all the bells and whistles you may later want to add, this is a perfect choice!

Product DescriptionThe Dell XPS M1210 is the smallest notebook in Dell's high-performance XPS line. With the discontinuation of the 710M, the M1210 is also the only 12.1"consumer notebook that Dell offers. The M1210 is a compact multimedia machine with remarkable power for its small size. Of course, the price reflects this above-average performance The M1210 is attractive without being overdone like the M1710 or the M2010. The overall appearance is clean and elegant. Some people have expressed concern over the thickness of the M1210 in comparison to other notebooks in its class, but in my opinion the extra thickness (necessary to house the more powerful components of the M1210) is hardly noticeable. The M1210 is arguably more of a thin and light than an ultraportable due to the weight (it can reach nearly five pounds with the 9-cell battery), but at 11.70"X8.70"X1.20" it is still very compact. Unfortunately the 9-cell battery extends a bit from the computer, breaking up the neat silhouette of the notebook. The M1210 feels very solidly constructed. The magnesium-alloy case has no obvious weak points; even the digital camera feels secure in its surround at the top of the LCD. I am a fairly light typist, and the full-sized keyboard feels great to me. I can type easily with a gentle touch. The lid of the M1210 does not latch shut, but the hinges feel very secure and it stays shut when it is closed. The M1210 feels very solidly constructed.
