"LAPTOP EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS!"
Pros
The key to my XPSM1530 is the 128GB Samsung SSD Drive, Duel Core Processor 64 bit and a graphics card that beats most of the competition. Every measure of performance has beat any laptop I've seen to date.
Cons
The processor and drive can heat up so ventilation becomes important but does not cause any performance issues.

This review is based on constant use over three months in home and on the road. The laptop was purchased with Windows Vista Home Premium but I'm now testing Windows 7 on the platform. Performance gains have been seen again. A large 15.4 screen doesn't seem to add additional weight as this laptop comes in under 5 lbs. The Samsung SSD Drive has proven to be worth the extra price. The only moving parts are the fans that quietly cool the system and the fear of the jostling the drive is now a distant memory. I haven't experienced a single hardware or software failure to date.
