The XPS M1530 is way more eye catching in terms of design than the Inspiron 1520. The barrel hinge, dropdown screen and sloping look of the M1530 is just cool. Second, the XPS M1530 weighs just 5.9 lbs with a standard 6-cell battery and just 6 lbs and 4.6 ounces (6.29 lbs) with its 9-cell battery. The Inspiron 1520 weighs more than 7 lbs with the 6-cell battery. Other benefits of the XPS M1530 notebook include a sleeker slot loading optical drive, touch sensitive light-up buttons, dedicated XPS tech support, media remote control and thinner profile.

The Dell XPS M1530 has the following specifications:
The M1530 is offered with only a standard 15.4" widescreen XGA (1280 x 800) display, while the XPS M1330 has the option for a thinner and more power efficient LED backlit display.The standard CCFL display is still gorgeously bright and flawless. Plus you get a higher 2.0MP web cam with the standard thicker CCFL screen, whereas with a thinner LED screen only a VGA resolution cam can be fitted.The horizontal viewing angles are really great.But the colors did begin to invert at lower viewing angles when the screen is tilted back.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The keyboard on the XPS M1530 is fairly similar to the XPS M1330, with obvious reasons. Its really being pleasure to work on M1530 laptop.The keyboard is firm with virtually no flex and the keys have excellent travel and cushion.The touchpad works well enough, though it's seems a little on the small side given the size of the notebook. The mouse buttons have excellent travel and cushion, though I did feel like they made a bit too much of a "clicking" sound when pressed. The good news with the touchpad is that it's responsive, has dedicated scroll areas and the textured feel is good. A series of touch-sensitive media buttons with blue LED backlights are located above.
While this is certainly the hottest 15.4" notebook available from Dell,but the user who have worked at M1330 doesn't admire its designing features.While issues like a noisy slot-loading drive, noisy hard drive, and limited screen options will make some demanding buyers look elsewhere, the M1530 is an excellent alternative to HP's popular dv6500t notebook in the same price range.
