Dell XPS M1330 cnet.com.au User Reviews

OK, I've had the same issues. The first time it went I was overseas but a tech knocked on my door three hours after I arrived home to fix it. The second time it happened, Dell noted that my warranty had expired but said they would replace the mobo a secon...

small and lightweight for use on aircraft

dead mobo [obviously]

DELL XPS 1330 is an expensive affair.

Fancy design, a really nice screen, handy and light.

Probably useless within a year or so. Utterly bad value for money.

I've had the M1330 for just over 12 months now. I had the motherboard replaced about 6 months ago. Then 2 days ago my laptop froze again - nice coloured fuzz over the screen and nothing! I rang Dell. I was informed that my warranty expired the month befor...

None!

Big lemon - overheats, and the Nvidia GPU card is defective!!

DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE WITH THE NVIDIA GPU.

I've read some blogs about this probelm and find out that the probelm is the graphic card. It will be death sometime whatever you do and Dell do nothing even after many complains. So, since I have Dell M1330 which have the same problem, I would like to in...

everyone, wake up and smell the coffee as they say.

great machine, BUT do not buy if it has the NVIDIA GPU, get it with the Intel or ATI GPU only.

FAULTY NVIDIA GPU (graphics chipset) almost certain to fail in 6months and then needs motherboard replacements.

Anyone concerned about the graphics overheating issue of the xps m1330 read this article to understand it more: http://apcmag.com/nvidia_disaster_thousands_of_gpus_faulty.htm

They come out to replace the part instantly. I know because it happened to me. Assuming your warranty hasn't run out. That's where it gets tricky. I'm not sure whats happening with the warranties.

8400m GPU is flawed. Nvidia's fault. Not Dell's.

Apart from the one issue I had with the nvidia card this is been the best notebook i ever owned. Even when the card spat the dummy Dell came out the next day and fixed it on the spot! Has been working ever since without skipping a beat!

Excellent price and performance, service and support

1 fault!
