[GTXNate]

I really want this laptop, even though it is 2 or 3 years old. lol  Thanks for the video man!

[yougonasorry]

[michael9007]

@yougonasorry i think all dell xps user do encountered the same prob.as u...=P

[iTailsTheStunter]

I am thinking about buying this off eBay. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

[OoFLEURYoO]

How did you get Halo 2 to run in full screen. Please tell me. When I try to get my m1530 to run H2 in full screen it just doesn't do it. It will only play in a window.

[Flipknight28]

would starcraft 2 be able to play on the xps m1530? I got pretty much same specs as you except I have 1.67 ghz instead of the upgraded 2.2ghz.

[TheMorttt]

how do you change the settings that you mentioned at the start of the video?

If anyone know's anything about this sort of thing, I have a question.

Whenever I play Crysis on multiplayer, with this exact same laptop, my computer just randomly shuts down. Anyone know why?

Thanks

[mikenike40]

dude overclock the fuck outah this comp make sure u have a fucking... cooling pad and clock the fuck outah everything and u can do medium to high in crysis...

[baterije]

The way you phrased that makes me believe you don't realise the difference between a laptop and computer. The XPS M1530 is notorious for operating at high temperatures. Even with a large cooling pad and the exhaust fan forced to 100% the temperature will climb dramatically non overclocked on high graphics. Overclocking it would cause it to combust in minutes, when the GPU touches 123 Degrees it decides that is the point at which is should drop its clock speed and will drop to a preset amount.

[mikenike40]

@baterije lol do you have the computer? ahaha i have from personal experience overclocked the shit out of my xpsm1530... i have the geforce 8600gm in and i have overclocked both the gpu and the cpu... i know my shit brother... i just reacently built a pc specs: phenom ii x4 955, geforce 9800gtx+, 6 gigs gaming ram, amd mobo.... wacth who the fuck you attack on the internet i know my shit about computers... and wtf dude.. laptop, computer... really dude there mostly the same.. a laptop is a comp.

[baterije]

Oh I'm sorry T Dawg, You apparently have personal experience but can't string a sentence together, I struggle to believe you. A laptop is quite different to a Desktop computer. The fact that the GPU on the m1530 is soldered onto the mobo makes it harder to keep the temperature down and causes huge problems if you fry it. You know might know your "shit" as in faeces but you clearly don't know anything about the M1530. As I have said before they're notorious for overheating. Multiple mobo changes.

[mikenike40]

@baterije hey bro i never said shit about desktop computers... i said a laptop is a computer. you were sitting in ur little chair telling me a laptop isnt a computer. your telling me i cant put a sentence together? read your shit then come and talk to me heres a quote from you: "The way you phrased that makes me believe you don't realise the difference between a laptop and computer." a laptop is a computer dumbass! i know that a laptop is different from a pc so shut the fuck up!

[mikenike40]

@baterije and not only that... ive said it before ill say it again! i have overclocked MY FUCKING xpsm1530 IT RUNS FUCKING FINE! hell it runs cod4 full settings... i know from experience you know from others... whos the one that knows more about the computer? me cause ive had it for 2 years... stfu

[baterije]

Wow you're even more retarded than I first imagined. You make a huge assumption by saying you have had it for 2 years and bragging, assuming you've had it longer than myself. With an ounce of intelligence you would of been able to notice that when saying laptop and computer, it would not be too hard to come to the conclusion that "computer" is being used in place of desktop. In my rather large chair I'm laughing that you now think you're so in tune with computers, what are you 10 years old now?

[thrashinx]

no wonder you have to set it on low. Your computer specs suck ass

[richfilmswales]

for a laptop its the bomb, ive got one. for the money its amazing.

[R6818]

lol really...i mean crysis is famous about what? the graphics engineering...so u play it on low settings etc y not go for other games..cant really enjoy it much..lag n stuffs..

[R6818]

lols i would never play crysis in this laptop....kinda no point...

[Willage12]

tbh games are not about graphics, gameplay is what makes a game great, not flashy effects

[mikenike1010]

i agree

[Wguitarman1272]

you say that an external mouse is best for halo 2 vista, I SAY XBOX 360 CONTROLLER!!!!!!

[lee155912000]

No

If you're a real PC gamer you wouldn't even think of using a controller for an fps lol

[mikenike40]

failure..... xbox sucks

[MegaCod4man]

Halo 2 is gay

[langamer101]

sager laptop w intel i7 processor and nvidia gtx 280 for 2000$

[shadowhunter388]

is this better then the m1730

[dozerx8]

my dell xps 1530 8600m gt - drops really low fps when i play counter strike source and all other games. dell told me its not meant for gaming, and it overheats and i get low fps. (24-25fps css)

[mattzlo]

i just bought the xps T8100 is that good for gaming

[xMixemup]

man these laptops sell for a good price, i might get one now, thanks for the demo vid

[TheBeautyIsFake]

Dude, never EVER play games in windowed in Vista. Massive FPS drop.

[SuperPerson32]

not for me

[paddythetinker]

dude i think u can overclock and play on high

[tupuc43]

he can....8600gt is not a crappy card it decent for moderate gaming also if you oc it right you can max out crysis with no lag like my friend does

[scr3wnai1]

It only heats up in a warm room, because I didn`t have a problem with it overheating till winter. (when there was no ac blowing)

[grandtheftauto1233]

try enbseries :D

[botlamermaxd]

great thanks :)

[fjayrockst]

i have a 5.1 rating

[bcthighs]

i still prefer my ps3 for games :)

[gschreiber94]

pc gaming is really fun though, you should give it a try

[AxLstyle]

you know whats the main problam why games don't work on those things?!?!....IT'S A LAPTOP!!!!! you can't go 4x4 with a mini, that just don't happen

[fatcat9993]

OMG, you said "the graphics card is the next slowest thing on the list"... I thought Nvidia 8600 GT was supposed to be one of the best graphics card for gaming out there.

I noticed around 2:52, 2:55 the screen for Crysis stopped a little.

[JoeyRythem]

fail..

[worldofwow3]

k i got the labtop for x mas i will answer these questions 1 yes its awsome for online gaming 2 the battery life wth brightness all the way down lasts about 9 to 11 hours this is better then the cheapest alien ware and its well worth its cash so this is wrth buying for a fine running game labtop overall its about a 9.3 out of 10

[fatcat9993]

The battery life for XPSm1530 is around 9 to 11 hours?! That must be the 9-cell right?

[kkevinC]

ive had this laptop for 4 months and the 9 cell battery doesnt not last that long. maybe if you have it on low power and just sitting there but nooo way on the 9 hours not for me atleast

[fatcat9993]

So how long does the 9-cell on your XPS last? I have a 6-cell, barely 2 hours, with low settings.

I'm thinking of getting a 9-cell. But I often use my lappy at home using the adapter, so I'm wondering if it's worth buying the 9-cell... 9 hours seems tempting... 8->

[PXSubscriber]

9-cell runs 3 - 4 hours :)

[fatcat9993]

thx :)

[aznpow121]

is this computer good for online gaming?

[tommy300z]

so over all, is it good for gamming?

[Thecomputergamer2008]

lol you ran over the Turkey in crysis :)

I thought it was funny

[rkwong792]

is this laptop worth getting or is there something else out there just as good? i'm definitely getting the m1530 for christmas if i can't find anything else but i want to make sure i didn't overlook something. Thanks.

[Hoodedfigure831]

Definitely not the best bang for your buck if you're in the market for a gaming notebook. I'd check out the gateway fx laptops or possibly a sager. This notebook has some great features, looks neat and has an excellent warranty. However, (I'm not a fanboy or a dell hater) for the money you pay, the hardware is very lacking(except for the cpu). Get something with at least an 8800 and 4 gigs of ram.

[QX9Haste650]

I just checked a xps and a sager. The sager had a 9600m gt and the xps only had a 8600m gs. Altho, the xps had a slightly better processor. It had a t7250, whereas the sager only had a t5800. The rest of the specs were pretty much the same. The xps was 685 and the sager was 746. So all in all the xps is decent value for money. I'd say acer has nice value for money. They have a laptop with similar specs to the other two but has a t5750 and a ati 3650 (gpu better than the xps's) and was only 587.

[mrmodixon]

hows the battery life on this with the brightness all the way down?

[kartboy1234]

brighness all ofthe way down and watching a dvd 5 hours 30 minutes,

[mrmodixon]

what cell battery do you have?

[rkkrqqqqrssss]

but i thought 256 MB of video RAM really sucked, but he can play fucking halo 2 with like no lag? what gives?

[kartboy1234]

no 256 is good. 64 mb sucks ass. 128 is better and 256 is very good. 512 is amazing.

[Gh0sty1]

WTF are you talking about laptops only? cause you can buy ram sticks with 2g

[quasar953]

1GB is l33t and 2GB is GOD-LIKE! ;D

[thekyriakos]

@kartboy1234 4000mb for my hd6990 is ?



[FormalWareCommentary]

@kartboy1234 Wow, i have 1GB card. Beat that.

[Thecomputergamer2008]

yay im getting it for christmas!

[Xxflyboy10xX]

5:56+ lol sticky gernade right through the legs thats gotta piss you off....i do believe im gonna get this

[ndslite74]

Can it play games good?

[kartboy1234]

can it play games well? ye it can it is very good at playing games.

[zombieofparty]

DELL STUDIO 15 if you wana be able to do this for cheap, its like the xps only with a bit lower stuff, i can run crysis on low with medium/low lags :P but xps is pretty sick, its just i dont think its worth 1000+$ i bought my studio 15 at the dell outlet for 589$ :D 256mb ati graphics card :P

[kartboy1234]

you got a great deal.

[yougonasorry]

i just bought the dell XPS 1530 laptop for 700ponds equals to 750 euro lets say

[mi3pwns]

this system is better than i thought it would be yay

[jameboy]

what kind of video card and processer?

[kartboy1234]

nvidia 8600 gt 256 mb, 2.4 ghz core 2 duo

[jameboy]

pretty good, i have a 8800 gt 1gb and intel core 2 quad. that pc is good for gaming.

[kartboy1234]

is it a desktop?

[DJSKEE2121]

hey i see u hav steam do u play cs 1.6 or css?? if u do add my acc bigskee21

[doinktheclaun]

hey can u say if the cooling vents r loud or not and if it gets hot after long playing? ty

[kkevinC]

the fans can get a little loud at times when needed like playing crysis for example and i can play games for hours like half life2(gmod), left 4 dead, silent hill homecoming and doesnt heat it up too much but can get a little toasty at times but for the most part if u keep the vents ventilated then you should be fine for th most part

[biolovescss]

omg why did you buy a dell pc for gaming..

[kartboy1234]

because it is powerful, cheap, and look cool.I bought it for school with gaming on the side

[warikplaya]

how much did you pay for your pc?

[kartboy1234]

1800 but that was after a 600 discount.

[theDeAdIsRiSiNg666]

how much was it

[kartboy1234]

$1800

[kkevinC]

trust me man this thing can play games no problem i bought it for a fast new laptop that has good gaming capabilitys

[coldkeyes]

can you play halo 2 with a 360 controller?

[kartboy1234]

yes u can

[kellerdood32]

My XPS M1530 that i ordered has the following specs:

2.4GHz Processor

256 MB nividia 8600 GT

250 GB Hard Drive

4 gigs of DDR2 Ram

1440x900 resolution screen

I hope i can play world of warcraft at 60 fps with full settings.

[nxji]

Yes!, no lagg

[On3Thought]

-How much was it?

[shinviroz]

if i can get this refurbished at the same spec as yours for $720, should i get it NOW or should i get it two months later?

because i dont need it now..

[oglocgeeks]

Hey, I have a question.

This comes with a default 128mb NVIDIA 8400GS. Is it worth $100 to upgrade to a 256mb 8600GT?

Thanks

[kartboy1234]

it is worth it. you get a faster processor in at and more graphics ram. it is very fast.

[oglocgeeks]

Thanks a lot, I'll be getting the 8600GT.

[zeffof]

i ordered my XPS 1530 with t8100 2.1ghz intel duo core processor a 256mb 8600m gt 4gigs of ram

[SawMill1567]

cool i got the same laptop but multi theft auto is kinda dumb because to many people use hacks but thanks, ill have to try cysis

[mike1146l]

I got 4gb, 8600 265 mb nvidia card, 250 7200 rpm hard drive,a 2.6ghz processor,and i live in Outer Banks. The actual price is $1908 or something like that.

[Digitalunderground2]

has anyone have their 1530 shutdown when playing a graphically intensive game? cuz mine has shutdown three times already from playing some games like f.e.a.r. and even civ 4 LOL but somehow unreal tournament, half life 2, kotor 2 runs fine with no problems

[potatoe10]

hey do you have vista

[kartboy1234]

yes I do and I love it.

[mike1146l]

i paid 2058 seriously for mine

[kartboy1234]

where do you live? and what specs did you get?

[mike1146l]

I live in Outer Banks NC i got a 256 mb nvidia graphics card,a 2.6ghz processor,4gb,Vista home premium and the highest wireless card you can get.

[albokidnj]

how is this laptop i found a good deal on this for about 1300 at bestbuy. is this a nice long lasting laptop?

[kartboy1234]

its a great long lasting laptop if you buy one with decent specs.

[albokidnj]

idk i was thinking either this or a hp laptop i think it was a dv5t but there both good what would you reccomend?

[JonnyUSA]

What wud u say good specs where on the Dell XPS M1530. Cuz I am buying one with a 120gb hardrive and 3 gig ram?...what games cud I play with that...! my sister wants to know...will the sims 2 work with good graphics and out lagging? thanks! ;)

[kartboy1234]

the performance of the computer is based around the graphics card, processor and ram. you need to find a good processor(2.4 Ghz is good)the ram is fine at 3 gigs. the graphics card I would recomend the 8600 256mb of memory. the harddrive does not matter just get one that has enough storage. you can play alot of games. I play crysis on medium settings which means that sims 2 will run on medium-high.

[elden1988]

can u play them with very high setting?

[xdsella]

say uh enough?

[kartboy1234]

no I did not. I was making it up as I was going along so I had to stop and think about what to say next.

[xdsella]

You said uh every other word.. honestly listen to it.

[aerose23]

Nice vid I hope when mine arrives it can handle Unreal III :)

[vw1610]

im waiting for mine :(. one week to go

[Spartan400]

He was a chicken what the heck? Hey if your computer is so good record with fraps!!!

[kartboy1234]

I dont have fraps

[EndedWoW]

Just download it, its free

[SoadBYOB9]

just buy a wired 360 controller

[josue679]

[yyyihad]

That much?

I ordered same as you but with 400GB and I only paid $1,460

[unkalledfor]

Well, this video was posted in Jan'08... Which would explain the price he bought it at.. When this XPS just came out it was $2000+ with the options he had...

[kartboy1234]

yes but dell had a great discount of about $600 so its really worth $2400.

[cooperuk]

cheers for the vid, i ordered one today :)

[fugglyshitters]

Why do you have to say "eh" or "em" every second word!?

[kartboy1234]

because I was making it up as I was going along and I did not even have it for 24 hours and I had to think of what to say.

[catzlover91]

i ordered the laptop about a week ago so i guess there is nothing much i can do even after you answer this question but i was wondering if you have had a any problems with it at all

[kartboy1234]

the only problem I have had is the touch pad is not the best but thats it.

[catzlover91]

ok thanks very much. I got mine today and I'm really pleased with it (at the moment) everything seems fine nad I'm happy with my choice

[PaintballStud1038]

which computer should i get the 1530 or the 1330 for gaming

[kartboy1234]

the 1530 is more powerful and has a nicer screen.

[axkingz]

you should get the nvidia programs that monitor the temparature. Also prevents lag. Check it out!

[PSYCHOTlC]

I just got this laptop today : d well ordered it but yea i cant wait!! Halo 2 here i come, :( halo 2 died on the xbox :(

[TasteyCookies]

did you get a microphone built in with the laptop?

[kartboy1234]

yes it had two stereo microphones next to the camera.

[rsbot3000]

lol "the touchpad is not the best." more like "the touchpad is horrible."

[kartboy1234]

Its not that bad. it has some issues but it is managable.

[ProAgony]

Can it play CSS all high?

If so what fps u get?

[x3y]

loool, if u mean counter strike source, I think so, if it's able to play crysis on low to middle details, it will be able to play CSS on high details ^^ I don't know about the fps, but if u remind me in about 3 weeks, I'll have a try, just ordered mine two days ago

[JujubeesAndPeanuts]

i am thinking on getting the xps m1530. I am just wondering if you needed to do anything to make halo 2 work. ( can it play it out of the box) And does your comp have service pack 1?

And also what grfx and ram do you have?

thank you.

[kartboy1234]

you can play it right out of the box. you dont even have to install it. you can play it directly off the disc.

[j0mem0]

trie warrock i want 2 see how its run on the xps! :) thanks

[Seatank15]

what driver software version are you running and how well can this laptop handle gears of war i heard a lot of people have problems with that game

[kartboy1234]

I dont have that game so I dont know

[Spawnen]

Sounds more like you're reviewing the games instead of XPS 1530

[kartboy1234]

yea it sort of turned out that way when I finished filming it. I did this just off the top of my head so it went more toward games and less toward the xps. I have one video purely about the xps.

[JackdotTaylor]

If you've got physics on low your losing out on the best part of Crysis, well the physics.

[kartboy1234]

yea I know. I have the physics up to medium now. It laggs alittle bit.

[crushy44]

will i be able to play halo 2 on my laptop that has a ATI Raedon Xpress 1250?

[Xx1stChairxX]

ya im pretty sure but just to let u know ATI Radeon blows and Nvidia is the best u can get sooo ya n e ways... it shud run no problem

[antoniown]

hmm thats not even the best graphics card and it plays halo 2 well i want a good affordable laptop for halo 2 and wow thats it

[pacman80500]

hmm,,, i would get it,,, BUT i could get the xps 630, for the same price.

[TH3DUBBS]

nice have you played CS:S cod 4 on the m1530

[targetmonkeyisme]

ur good at halo

[HyeWarrior]

Check out my video, my M1530 is running Guitar Hero III... Even though the specs on mine are barebone, it can still manage to run that, Halo 2, Gears of War, Shadowrun etc.... Would you happen to know how to overclock the processor? Mine's only a 1.83 ghz Dual Core, and I wanted it to run just a tttaad bit faster to make everything smoother... Thanks!

[koko56]

Thanks for the video!

[superbob1234511]

Amazing... Half Life 2 ran so well! CSS should play like a miracle with this laptop, 4GB of RAM, and the 2.5Ghz processor!

[BobbyBBobson]

thats the same one i am getting for college. should suit me well. bioshock should play all right.

[Sonyboj]

You could also turn off aero, so it wont run in the backround

[panzeram]

If aero is turned off, does Vista become better for games?

[kartboy1234]

I would believe so because aero uses processing power and with it off you get some power back.

[Sonyboj]

^

What he said.

I don't have vista myself but its pure logic to have less thing running in the background

[crushy44]

in the game are you using a xbox controll for halo 2 or the keyboard? and do you know if it plays games on the dell inspron 1525

[kartboy1234]

im using a keyboard. i dont know the specs of that dell

[sakuranbo888]

try running on fullscreen it may significantly improve ur framerates

[ratormaherikotaischi]

is it possible to play supreme commander well on this laptop? please reply, i would appreciate it.

[kartboy1234]

I have no idea what that is. But if it can play crysis it can play that game.

[FolkSound252]

anyone know how it runs oblivion, Total War(MedievalGold), or Conan? I just ordered mine today, so I probably wont get for another month, but oh well.

[ViNcHeNz08]

do you rekon it would play command and conquer generals and flight sim X?

[kartboy1234]

yes flight sim on lower settings

[mslancaster]

i just ordered mine, 2.4 GHz, 4 gigs ram, 8600 256 MB NVIDIA graphics. nice.

[jaboyle]

thats exactly what im getting ! what games u going to be playing on it ?

[mslancaster]

Counter strike source, Halo 2 vista, Half life 2, portal, TF2, and probably COD4
