omg, i despise dell to the fullest extent. I hate their laptops and the desktops.. except for their higher end gaming desktops. But still, do yourself a favor and DONT GO WITH DELL.
Go to
www.newegg.com. and check out their laptop section. They have really good prices there, and DONT CARRY DELLS. I personally like this laptop by ASUS.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834220021
Its currently $1800, and has a $200 dollar rebate.
It has an Intel Core Duo 1.66ghz Processor, 512mb of RAM, 100gb harddrive, Dual Layer DVD burner, wireless A/B/G, 12.1in wxga screen, built-in bluetooth, 4in1 media card reader, built-in 1.3mp camera, and is a very sexy "ipod" white. Its very mobile, only weighing 3-4 pounds. Its like sex in a little casing if you ask me.
So yeah, if youre looking for something mobile, I would deffinetly recommend this. Its very good for the price and ASUS makes high quality products.
But if you want to go with dell, whatever. Just trying to help
