Dell XPS M1530

If you want a thin laptop to slip into your travel bag then Dell's new XPS M1530 could be just the thing you're looking for. It's only 1in thick, so you shouldn't have a problem finding a home for it while you're travelling.

As it's part of Dell's high end XPS range it comes decked out with brushed aluminium accents and is available in a range of colours from black and white to red. It features a 15.4in screen and comes with an HDMI port if you want to hook it up to a high definition TV - perfect if you've chosen to add on the optional Blu-ray drive.

It features a 1.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 processor and 1GB of RAM and comes with a 120GB hard drive as standard.

The XPS M1530 is available now in the States from $999 (around £480), a UK launch has yet to be set. For further details, see Dell's website.
