Hi Nautilus...
I'm afraid, I've not had (or used) my new XPS1210 enough, to give a "qualified" asessment, of its quality.
I purchased it in early December, as a second (traveler), to my desktop PC. (also a dell XPS).
I copied vital info, from my desktop (via data CD), and installed them in the new notebook. Piece of cake.
I haven't even plugged a cable modem into it, to try internet browsing. I have however, used the (wifi) function...(apparently a neighbor has a wifi setup). It performs quite well, in this mode. And, seems to be very nearly as FAST, as my desktop...utilizing cable modem.
I ordered no special options, other than the "heavy duty" battery.
Dell, of course, assured me that the system would be fully compatible with VISTA. A free upgrade, sometime in latter February.
I do, (so far) really like the size of the 1210. It will fit nicely, into my shoulder bag, for carry on travel. As it is only 12" (diagonally), the text is quite small. I had to (upgrade) 5555, to a stronger pair of reading glasses.
I'm leaving for Thailand, in two days. I'll be using the notepad there...And, if I have any problems, I'll let you know.
Good luck,
Pablo
