hey guys,

received my lovely xps 1530! A quick rundown of pros and cons:

pros:

- Had laptop within 6 days [4 days if we exclude the weekend]
- looks great! very slim
- great benchmarks 3DMark06 [4784]
- did not encounter grainy screen problem! I've got an AUO2077
- good battery life [3hrs+]

cons:

- Poor XP Driver support *used notebook forum to find drivers for xp*
- Always having to clean finger print marks!
- Far too much bloatware, will have to reformat and re-partition the extra 10 gig i am missing
- Fans can be quite loud.

*solution to this is too undervolt your machine. Fans aren't as loud as they were on default settings*
