FYI- There are features on this laptop (One which is very Apple like) that haven't gone public. Nothing big but just in case Dell is watching I'm not saying squat. :-P There is no way they could know who I am but ya know. I'm not risking my job over a laptop. :-P]]>Jun 22nd 2007 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 2:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 25th 2007 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/

Its either that, or relying on the hinges. On this computer though, theres no real way to pull the lid and the base separately other than the wedge them apart with fingernails, so its gotta be magnetic. ]]>Jun 22nd 2007 3:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Yet another idiot that doesn't understand how to use two fingers.

Almost. ]]>Jun 22nd 2007 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 5:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/2. HDMI out, nice. So maybe there will be options for HD-DVD/blu-ray drive?
3. Yet another fan at the bottom. Why can't PC manufactures change this? A laptop will usually be used on the lap, or on a table, not hanging in the air. I don't get why manufactures are putting fans and holes at the bottom, where air circulation will be poor at best, especially if it's on a lap, where the fans holes are going to be blocked anyway. Sure there is not much space on the sides, but can they at least look at the Macbook/MBP for design?]]>Jun 22nd 2007 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/
The rear of the MBP is one long vent. If you look inside you can actually see the leading edge of the motherboard. The fans route air through that vent in the back. All of the ports on Apple's products are located on the sides. I actually like this design because if you ever have to pick up the laptop, usually from the front. It places stress on the connectors on the back.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/
1, No docking available from the look of bottom, man!

2, The fan/exhaust design is really not ideal

3, Touchpad seems kinda small and they really should have included a track-point.

4, Why not just take out VGA like they did with RJ-11 and use the space for 2 extra USB since you got HDMI anyway.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/
- To many latches and pieces of plastic, especially underneath
- Why the hell isn't the touchpad centered?
- Please Dell, stick with one color-theme. The front, the back, underneath - everything has a different theme. If you want to use metal on the front, for GOD SAKE use on the back too!]]>Jun 22nd 2007 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/
Put your hands in the home position (if you know how to actually type rather than hunt and peck), and you'll see that the touchpad is right in the middle of your hands.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/
wtf is up with laptop manufacturers putting commonly used ports on the front of machines? If you actually use it on your lap, you're bound to bend or break whatever's plugged in, or damage the port itself. Stupid, stupid, STUPID design flaw.

I hope you can get it without the gaudy red lid. Aside from that, aesthetically it's a nice laptop, easily the best looking Dell lappy ever.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 5:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/
2) I'm indifferent

3) See point one. The latitude line is generally the only line that includes both.

4) A lot of people still use VGA. Taking it out would be a bad idea.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/And VGA -> DVI using a dongle is 100% ass.]]>Jun 22nd 2007 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/Jun 22nd 2007 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/22/dells-m1330-up-for-retail-july-10/
