XPS M1530 gets hi-res screens

We do not give out Editors' Choice awards easily, but the the XPS M1530's combination of good looks and pure brawn gave it this distinction. Barring the insanely-fast XPS M1730 with its dual Nvidia GeForce 8700M GT graphics card, the M1530 could possibly be the fastest 15.4-inch gaming machine to hit Asian shores.

Due to popular demand, Dell is now offering higher-resolution screens for the US market. The standard 1,280 x 800 display can now be upgraded to 1,440 x 900 pixels or 1,680 x 1,050 for US$50 and US$150, respectively. This is great if you intend to watch high-definition movies on the display, though for that purpose we would rather hook up the XPS M1530 to an LCD TV. Unfortunately, there is no news yet on whether this option will be making its way across the Pacific.
