Thin, wedge shape ; Slot-fed optical drive

A little pricey ; No modem and only two USB ports

The M1330 is available in black for $50 less than the Crimson Red version we tested. But if you want a thin and light notebook that makes a visual impression as strong as its performance, the flashy color will do the trick

4.5 pounds with 9-cell battery ; Gets a little too warm particularly on palm rests ; Touch sensative media buttons don't work very well ; Slot-loading drive is a little loud

While issues like warm palm rests, awkward media buttons, a noisy slot-loading drive, and somewhat heavy weight with the 9-cell battery will make some demanding buyers look elsewhere, most consumers looking for a 13.3-inch notebook will be hard pressed...

Overall our first impressions of the sexy (I can't stop calling it that) Dell XPS M1330 are overwhelmingly positive. If Dell would have put this design on the market two years ago (even with previous generation processors) fewer people would have...
