As I have posted in my previous post, I am a big fan of portable laptop computers.  My first laptop was an HP and it was big.  Not to sound like a wussy and all, but carrying that thing around campus was quite a challenge, and it was only 15.4" .  I am not much of a gamer, so my need for a heavy-duty, 256MB video card laptop wasn’t necessary, so I opted for the Dell M1330.  When I received my M1330 last week, I took a few pictures, but haven’t had the time to post anything up about it, so here it is.
