Strengths: Slot loading drive, relatively lightweight, LED backlight, fingerprint reader
Weaknesses: WXGA screen; problems with motherboard whine
Summary: This is a solid laptop to fill the gap that Dell's Inspiron 700m left. It's relatively small & of reasonable lightweight. It's by no means an ultraportable but it's not a full desktop replacement either. It falls in the middle, easily ported but with useful on a desk as well.

Nice touches are the slot-loading CD drive and the LED backlight (optional). The drive saves you from the awkward snap-in process that every other laptop drive requires. The LED backlight extends battery life and allows for a thinner screen overall.

I only have two complaints. The first is that, at 13.3", the screen should offer a higher resolution than WXGA. The second complaint is that mine suffered from the high-pitched whining noise that has plagued motherboards of this model (google around for details). Dell replaced my laptop for free, and my new m1330 still had a whine but it was far less noticeable so I kept it. Supposedly the newer chipsets do not have this problem, but buyer beware.

Strengths: thin, smart design, great performance
Weaknesses: coudn't find any so far.
Summary: Dell has made a very smart design laptop, i earlier had Inspiron 6000 and 8600, but I liked this most. It is compact design and especially comes in 13" size. Though the size is 13", but it still give a good grip on keypad which does not look any smaller than 14" laptop.

The screen is gorgeous; very bright. The .3 megapixel webcam is unbelievable, the video is bright and clean.

Fit and Finish of this laptop is flawless, its thin and light but still a solid laptop.

I liked the Media Control Remote with this Laptop. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend to all my friends.

Strengths: Powerful, economic cost. Highly customizable. Thin and light. HDMI output. Good battery lif.
Weaknesses: Dell's quality assurance weren't so great at this particular model.
Summary: This is probabily the best 13.3 inch laptop for the price. The option of the LED LCD display makes the laptop much thinner, lighter, and better battery life. The LED LCD display is much brighter than most of the laptop out there. The 8400M GS graphic card is enough to play most of the games with a bit lower setting.

As I said, the quality assurance weren't so great on this particular model. I recieved a laptop with uneven base, large gap with wires shown, constant high peach noise comming out from the laptop, and unresponsive keyboard. However, Dell's customer service allows me to exchange my laptop for free of charge. Overall, beautiful laptop, powerful and great battery life.
