Dell called the history of the most lightweight body, the appearance of the most beautiful Dell XPS M1330 notebook, after the introduction of the industry and consumers by the strong support and interest, sales performance has been rising. Then Dell continues to force, and launched the XPS M1330's fat version - 15 inch and 17-inch XPS M1530 XPS M1730, even though these two models is higher than the volume and weight 13-inch XPS M1330, but the performance and input experience in there own characteristics and advantages, still have considerable user base and market.
Today we want is the evaluation of this 15-inch XPS M1530, and the bright red version, people immediately in front of one of the light. Dell XPS M1530 is not only using the T7250 Core 2 Duo processor (a free upgrade since January to T7500 processor), it is also equipped with 256MB GDDR3 dedicated graphics memory NVIDIA GeForce Go 8600M GT high performance graphics card, I believe that overall performance is not will be disappointed, then how will the performance of other aspects of it?
First, the Dell XPS M1530 design
With other XPS models, the Dell XPS M1530 also has a red, black, silver and other colors optional versions to accommodate more users of personality preferences. The evaluation of the XPS M1530 is the red version, the whole giving a passionate sense of style. But from a practical view, the color painting process becomes more general, and once infected with dirt may be difficult to clean, care needs careful use.
The whole people feel very well in the body XPS M1530, XPS M1330 we saw a very beautiful and familiar figure, nothing wrong with a Dell laptop designs the most beautiful works of the most successful. The 15.4-inch Dell XPS M1530 despite the lack of Jiao mini figure, but still able to make people feel slim and fashion design ideas.
Fuselage into the ergonomic concept, with a sloping gradient design, which can further enhance the comfort level when the desktop.
With other XPS models, the Dell XPS M1530 also uses a combination of magnesium alloy and plastic materials program materials - on both sides of the screen edge, shaft connection, keyboard around, and wrist rest, and all use of heat than The drawing is good and durable magnesium alloy, compared with other parts of the high-strength engineering plastic. It is due to the palm rest by adding a magnesium alloy design, so the temperature control gives a very good comfort, but also on the heat we described in detail below.
In a very beautiful and has a personality, "comma" are affixed to both ends of shaft design of DELL LOGO, DELL brand image has been further highlighted. "Comma" design also makes XPS M1530's screen can be opened to a larger vertical angle to fit more applications and occasions.
Not only has a very beautiful and stylish, but also open the screen to give a mature stable solid business sense.
Fingerprint reader + webcam, bring more security to the machine, entertainment and business elements.
Second, the Dell XPS M1530 interface layout
The Dell XPS M1530 and XPS M1330 external port design essentially the same, just more of a USB interface. In addition, the XPS M1530 can not find the body we also MODEM interface, it is estimated mainly to save costs this may be a lifetime do not have access to interface to save the. Layout, the Dell XPS M1530 USB port located in around two, while the heat vent on the back end, very reasonable and humane layout, people satisfied.
The left side of the interface: Power input, 2 USB2.0, VGA port, Ethernet port, HDMI, 1394 interface.
The right interface: Express Card Slot, WiFi switch, WiFi antennas, slot-drive, USB2.0 port, S-Video output port and security slot. Slot-drive to become thinner side of the fuselage looks more simple.
In front of the fuselage including microphone, dual headphone jacks and multi-card reader. In addition to a rear vents, other parts of the occupied by the battery.
Third, the Dell XPS M1530 user experience
Keyboard and touchpad
Dell XPS M1530 keyboard with full-size design, Enter, Backspace key, Shift and space bar are quite large, is not prone to misuse. Application of experience, a solid keyboard chassis, greater strength, key-way medium, so hit up neat, quiet place is also relatively under control. In general, the higher the comfort of the keyboard, satisfactory.
Touchpad surface frosted handle, set both left and right scroll down and control areas, but the relatively large body size compared with 15.4, the touchpad seems a little "gentle", but still quite touchpad operating experience good, sliding sensitivity, fast response and clear. Two mouse buttons below the touchpad, stroke and flexibility are also good, but relatively a little more rigid.
Shortcut keys and status indicators
Dell XPS M1530's keyboard shortcuts and function keys in addition to a power switch and, in the top of the keyboard also set up a group of multimedia buttons, all using the thermal-touch design, and built a beautiful blue LED backlight. The very user-friendly, these LED lights flash design using Dayton, which is not used when the state was shut off, when you press the button lit LED backlight will last about a second or two, this way, the convenience of a beautiful will not affect the viewing screen effect.
However, actual use, these touch buttons slightly slow reaction speed, and hence less precise positioning.
Indicator, the Dell XPS M1530 in the function keys and power built between the five key indicators, respectively, reflecting the numeric keypad, the size of the letters, scroll switch, WIFI and Bluetooth wireless working condition.
Audio and video
Dell XPS M1530's screen using a common 15.4-inch glossy widescreen LCD screen, giving a fairly good initial visual impact, but the resolution is only 1280x800 pixels, seemed a little disappointed. Seen from the actual use, its performance is very good grayscale transition, DisplayX test, only four dark cells look clear, this performance will mean that enjoy high-definition movies to be more realistic and detailed picture effect, giving a more realistic viewing experience. XPS M1530 offers a seven screen brightness adjustment, but the transition between brightness levels seem even less impressive.
Also reported that this year Dell XPS M1530 is expected to provide more screen options, which will also include shows better, more energy efficient LED-backlit screen. As a result, I believe in the whole portability will also be made considerable progress.
Sound, the Dell XPS M1530 right and left above the keyboard set up stereo speakers, from the effect, clear sound volume is large enough, although there is no set subwoofer, but bass is still good to meet the needs of games and large.
Thermal and noise control
Dell XPS M1530 cooling control performed well, the main heating zone on the left, the left side of keyboard below the processor and graphics components, while the left wrist rest was hard seat. Other regional control was pretty good, the keyboard surface C average temperature is about 34 degrees, the operation will not significantly affect the comfort.
Noise, the fan will run at full load whirring sound, but does not affect the quiet operating environment; the slot-drive noise is to drive than the average slightly larger.
Fourth, the Dell XPS M1530's hardware configuration
DELL XPS M1530 battery machine hardware configuration is considerable, not only clocked up to 2GB of T7250 Core Duo processor, even more exciting is that also comes standard with nVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT significant independence, I believe a lot in the game allows players to users crazy. In addition, Dell in January of this section is about a free upgrade machine will be upgraded to T7500 T7250 processor, so the current market standard XPS M1530 T7250 processor has basically been eliminated, the T7500 version of the model instead of a comprehensive, cost-effective more prominent.
Other aspects, 2GB memory Vista environment to meet the multi-machine running, and 120GB hard drive and DVD burner, you can give the user more storage space can be manipulated. In the entertainment and security, but also provides a fingerprint identification system and 200 million camera, which largely expanded its user population. The only regret is moving more does not seem to highlight the portable performance, even compared with the same 15-inch models also point emphasis.
Fifth, the performance of Dell XPS M1530 test
Performance testing: battery / machine
DELL XPS 1530 battery with six-core 11.1V 56Wh (about 5045mAh) lithium battery, battery test showed that the battery can only provide less than 2 hours for the whole operating life of conventional and DVD playback without interruption, in similar models endurance low; but the actual combination of power management software applications and procedures, life should be to achieve more than two hours. By the impact of endurance, overall performance in this aspect of the performance did not give people too many surprises.
Normal operating conditions, CPU temperature is 54 degrees, slightly overclocked to 2.2GB automatic frequency stable operation; CPU load when running at full load, the frequency dropped to normal 2GB, but the core temperature has rapidly soared to 92 degrees and 96 degrees However, to run about 20 minutes, managed to maintain stable operation and maintain the highest temperature in this, there was no significant frequency and variable temperature conditions, there really people out of a sweating.
Summary
Dell XPS M1530 XPS series continues the appearance of very good process design, red color theme of giving a more lively passion and enthusiasm for the visual enjoyment; performance is not too worried, with a high-frequency dual-core processor T7250 8600M GT significant independence and the outstanding
DELL XPS M1730 battery performance of the top, driving the overall performance of high play, believe that any high-end business applications and video games are completely self-evident. Slightly regret is not ideal mobile portable performance, while its battery life is also relatively low, further weakened the whole mobile advantage. Overall, the 15-inch Dell XPS M1530 in design and performance, it is pretty good desktop replacement is currently a very good choice.
Advantages:
1, design beautiful, fashionable at the same time revealing the mature and stable;
2, performance is quite outstanding, video and gaming performance is quite prominent.
Disadvantages:
1, the whole bit bulky, low performance mobile portable;
2, the battery life is low.
