    I'm just fed up with Dell and their horrible customer service.

    What are my laptop alternatives for the XPS 1530 - WSXGA+

    Features needed:
    - WSXGA+ native
    - Dual Core (at least T7700)
    - 3 or 4 GB RAM
    - around 6lbs
    - Thin enough (I don't wanna carry around a brick with me all the time)
    - Solid construction
    - Reliable
    - Suited for software development.

    I'm not much of a gamer so a solid, reliable laptop would be needed that I can work for hours on without issues. I'm open to anything!

    Its probably better to post this in the What Notebook Should I Buy section since this is a Dell section so it is rather biased.
