Any particular reason why you are waiting for the Inspiron 1525? There's nothing interesting about it. Just a bit slimmer, has HDMI port, no option for discrete graphics, no option for Blu-ray drive.
Word is, Inspiron 1525 will be available on the Indian website from Monday.

Wire muncher!
I think 1525 is a bad move by Dell. 1520 was more customizable. So now there is no decently priced dell laptop with a dedicated gfx card in the 15" category.

Hello to all,
I am visiting thinkdigit forum after quite a long time...
Anyway I am planning to buy a laptop for myself and I zeroed in Inspiron 1520 and XPS1530...
But the problem is as of now I couldn't find any link to customize 1520...
And customizing XPS1530 with 250 gigs of HDD and 8600GT and Audigy etc. it comes to near about 60 grand including tax and all.
Now would you recommend to go for a 1520 with similar config (if possible!) as that might cost less?
My preference is gaming!

SCIT Pune, got interview & GD call, going to Pune in Feb, prey that I get admission.
Want pics of my lappy?
Nah...I like many fruits not only Apple. *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/10.gif
I just customised 2 laptops on dell india website, XPS M1530 & Dell 1525. Now the only problem with Dell 1525 is the onboard graphics & in XPS they are giving GeForce 8400GS ( which come in my budget). GMA X3100 is enough to run Vista. The price difference between then is 10k so I m inclining towards Dell 1525 more then XPS M1530...but ooooooooooo the XPS...*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/38.gif TOOO SEXY in looks *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/10.gif
Here is the config of Dell 1525 I selected.
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor T5450
Windows Vista(R) Home Premium
15.4" Widescreen WXGA (1280x800) TFT Display with TrueLife(TM)
2GB (2 X 1024MB) 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD Audio Software
Intel(R) Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
160GB SATA Hard Drive
Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Combination Drive with dual layer write capabilities
Jet Black Color with Matte Finish
6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Total cost = Rs 43,331.40
Let's see, since I m broke right now if dad agrees to pay for XPS M1530, I will jump for it. GeForce 8400GS of XPS M1530 won't give much of a difference compared to GMA X3100 & like I said, there won't be any gaming on this. Just MS Office, browsing, chatting, VoIP & well...usual work

Good. Hope you get into SCIT/Institute of your choice. All the best.
I meant my Dell Inspiron 6400 not Apple MacBook Pro.
IMO, if XPS is under your budget, you should think about it. XPS gives you better performances. With a dedicated GFx card; HD movies, Photoshop, Maya, Vista runs better. With X3100, they might run but believe me there's a sea of difference in the performances.
Don't think abt the 10k. If XPS fits your budget, then go for it.

Ok..will talk to the finance minister
Guys I m unable to find the pics in this thread, can someone post them again from all angles such as top, Side...front closed & open etc.
THe only difference in XPS M5130 & Inspiron 1525 is the looks & GeForce 8400GS. Performance wise both GMA X3100 & GeForce 8400GS aren't much different but GMA X3100 uses shared memroy which I won't mind as I will be going for 2 or 3 GB RAM.
So the only thing is Looks department, I saw pics of XPS M5130 online but need to see some real life Pics of Inspiron 1520.
Apple is out of question. It starts at 58k
