I ordered a 13" XPS M1330 Dell online from Dell Australia and I got it damn fast from their factory in china!
But there was a small problem with that. The left palm rest area was getting a bit warm. It wasn’t much but for a day of typing it was annoying for me. So I send it back and bought a Lenovo SL300 that took about 2 weeks to reach!
The Lenovo box was much smaller but the laptop itself is a bit heaver and thicker, performance is better and seems to be a more robust laptop.
In contrary, DELL was looking much sexier, had all the CDs and DVDs(Unlike Lenovo), included a laptop carrying case, etc.
Strangely my Lenovo also gets warm under Ubuntu but it is fine in Vista. So it might have been that case for the poor Dell as well!!
