XPS 1530 Wobble
I have seen 3 M1530s that do not sit flat on a desk/flat surface. Open the screen and then press on the front corners. It is like a table at a restaurant that wobbles. I have returned 2 of these already.
Are others seeing the same problem? It seems to really show with the standard 6 cell battery because it is flat. When the 9-cell battery is in it tilts the machine up in the back hiding the problem a bit but it is still there.
Would love to know how widespread this is. I am working with Dell on this but want to see if this is a bad run of machines or if most of them have the problem.

There is no wobble on the 1530 I just received with the 9-cell battery.
Hope you're able to resolve the problem.
Take care,

I recieved my m1530 on 1 Feb. There is no wobble with my 9 cell batt.
Man, you just described what I had with my previous laptop XPS1530. The front left leg was in the air! I got a replacement for that and I am glad that this one doesn't have this problem.
I couldn't believe that the chasis of the notebook was bent! But they managed to manufacture somethin like this!!!
Hope you don't experience it with your new one.
I am currently on my THIRD XPS 1530 with this problem. I have just about given up, and I'm ready to return this laptop for something else -- anything but a DELL. I can't believe that they would ship these things with this sort of problem.
The first 1530 I got has this very pronounced wobble when I sit it on a flat surface (like a desk or a granite counter top), the second one had a less pronounced wobble, but also had a loud hard drive whine that sounded like it was going to spin out of the chassis. THis third one has the wobble again, and I am sending it back tomorrow.
Is no one from Dell concerned about quality? These machines should be flawless, for the premium we're paying. Very very disappointed.
