      Half of the laptop "deals" have been incorrect in the past week.

      720p display sucks. Anything less than 1024 is disappointing for computer use. I own a 1280x800 Dell Studio 15 with similar config that was about this price over a yr ago.

      Also, check that the total amount of RAM this system can hold will meet your needs. Mine is stuck at 4GB which sorta defeats the reason to have a 64-bit OS.

      Further, this chip doesn't support VT, so you can't run WinXP inside Win7 with Microsoft VM stuff. Other virtualization solutions prefer VT support too.

      I would buy the ASUS 16 in. listed below, no tax or shipping at buy.com. This is an ok unit, but I am not crazy about Dell's customer service. It is hard to speak to a real person and they usually are not able to help you out.
