Dell XPS M1530 Series - Rare Retro Asset - Intel Core 2 Duo, Nvidia NB8P-GS, 4GB RAM, 320 GB HDD - Project/Collectors

Description:

For auction is a classic Dell XPS M1530 series, a high-end powerhouse from the mid-2000s. This machine is in remarkably clean condition for a laptop nearly 20 years old (ownership: 2008), with only a few light surface scratches consistent with careful use.

Key Specifications:

CPU: Intel Core (TM) 2 Duo T7500

Minimum clock Speed: 1.20GHz

Maximum Clock Speed: 2.00GHz

Graphics: Integrated

Video Controller: Onboard Graphics - NVIDIA NB8P-GS

Memory: 4GB RAM

Memory Speed: 667MHz

Memory Technology: DDR2 SDRAM

Storage: 320GB HDD

Native Resolution: 1280 by 800

WiF: The 802.11a/b/g/n radio pushed data at a rate of 17.6 Mbps at 15 feet from our access point, and 14.3 Mbps at 50 feet.

Bios Version: A12 (11/19/2008)

Ports and Extras: Three USB 2.0, ExpressCard/54, FireWire, S-Video, VGA, Ethernet, an 8-in-1 memory card reader, Dell Wi-Fi Catcher, dual headphone jacks, HDMI for exporting video and audio to a big screen, Keyboard and Touchpad

Unique Features:

Original stowaway Media Remote Control
Bluetooth

Battery: Original battery; remarkably stable for its age, holding approximately 10 minutes of charge.

Charger: Only charger has been replaced on this machine.

Condition Note (Important):

The laptop currently has a Windows Vista boot error and does not reach the desktop or internal recovery menu. It is an easy fix for someone with basic tech knowledge: simply create a Vista bootable USB, insert it, restart, and tap F8 to access the boot menu and select "Repair Your Computer."

I was keeping this as a future asset - Unfortunately I have to auction to meet my immediate need; these premium XPS models are becoming increasingly rare in this condition. Perfect for a retro gaming project or a tech collection.

Bought in 2008 at the rate over £1500.
