I ordered mine on Wednesday
2Ghz
2GB
8600M GT
1400x900 Panel
For £560 delivered
I wasn't sure to go with the M1350 instead, but in the end decided on the vostro 1500. M1350 is out of my budget, hopefully i'll be happy with the vostro!
...the vostro is great if you dont want to play games...
you will be, same spec as mineDecent screen etc, plays cod4 well

The 8600GT ddr2 just dosent really cut the mustard for anything newish, I tried stuff like UT3 on mine with low detail and it ran poor, it cant even muster WOW at 1440x900 with full detail. To be honest im not expecting the M1530 to be much better, but hopefully it should let me play wow at a nice level.
Have you tried any different graphic drivers rather than the standard Dell ones?![]()

You should definately try the modded drivers, my laptop is running WoW 40 fps in Shattrath and 60 everywhere else in full detail at 1280x800. I found the new drivers make a huge difference, currently playing TF2 and got a 5-10fps increase.
Just got off the phone to the delivery company (Walsh Western) to be told that the delivery driver thought that I didn't live at the provided address any more, so the delivery was canceled!OK I'm joining this club too
Just put an order in for a 1500 with Vista Premium, 8600M, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD and the WXGA+ truelife screen (had to go for that one or the order would have been delayed until 8th Feb)
