Sure, the black looks nicer, and it could be a little faster, but the 1340 starts a full pounds heavier and with the heat issues people are talking about, I have no buyers remorse.  There's practically no heat with my 1330 and it's loaded to max (except for an ssd so far).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jonyah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 9:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Dell's XPS 1340 and 1640 get official, latter gets reviewed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/dells-xps-1340-and-1640-get-official-latter-gets-reviewed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/dells-xps-1340-and-1640-get-official-latter-gets-reviewed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Agreed, the M1330 ticks every box as far as I'm concerned.
