  Strengths: Screen, CPU (C2D T7200), 120GB, 2GB(667MHz), Battery is fantastic even with vista! (9-cell)

  Weaknesses: careful with the graphics, its a geforce 7400 go, it says 256MB but 192 of that is turbocache (in other words from system memory) 64 hardwired to it, still plays half life 2 and F.E.A.R fantastic

  Overall Evaluation: this is a crackin laptop for just over £1000, brilliant at everything i ask of it, DVD writers a little slow (only x3) but i hardly use it, upgrade the memory to 667MHz to get the best from it, originally came with 2*512MB 533MHz. screen is spot on although not terribly bright the m1330 from dell is everything the m1210 is plus the failures fixed in my eyes (brighter screen, graphics much improved)

  Strengths: Light, portable, compact. Color and clarity nice for a 12.1 inch screen.

  Weaknesses: Speakers seems to have a "boxy" sound.

  Overall Evaluation: I really didn't know what to expect with this portable from Dell using Windows Vista Home version. But, it seems alright, a few interesting help screens. Fairly easy to manage. A few programs still are not Vista compatable such as the JiWire Hotspot Helper. Overall so far, I like its weight, size and so far its performance. Connected a monitor to test its dual display capability, and it seems this could be handy, in my case during Fantasy Football season. For a lightweight portable and my needs, it's a great investment.
