Dell XPS M1210 Review

Features

The Dell XPS M1210 sports a 12.1-inch wide-screen display and weighs 2.2kg weight. It weighs 2.35kg with the AC adapter which makes it a little closer to most laptops in thin-and-light category. The 12.1-inch display of the M1210 is okay for surfing the Web and watching your favorite movies. It also has a 1.3-megapixel Webcam in top of the display which can rotate 180 degrees. The camera is perfect for taking images from both the front and rear of the laptop. People who are into media will surely love the Dell MediaDirect which allows you to access your media files without booting into Windows.

The M1210 measures 29.7 cm. by 22 cm. wide by 3 cm high and has a full-size keyboard that makes typing very comfortable. The touch pad and mouse buttons are a bit small but functional because it has both horizontal and vertical scroll zones. The illuminated buttons that sits along the front edge including the volume and media transport controls is a nice idea. Some people may find it not a great idea to place those buttons there because you can easily or accidentally hit those buttons when typing especially if you are using your laptop while it is placed on your lap. On the other hand the buttons are pretty handy when watching DVDs or listening to your favorite music and may come in handy while on a flight or when sitting in other cramped quarters.
