    If you have been following my "story about a boy and his laptop" thread or any of my other threads you should know my story.

    Short and sweet:

    Took a month to get my laptop after re-ordering multiple times, once I got my laptop dust/dirt got behind the screen, I got it replaced, the technition replaced it incorrectly. Dell said they would get me a replacement system. They were unable to get the same specs even though they were all avaliable on the website.

    This is my new computer that will take less than a week to arrive and I can't be happier :)

    Good luck to everyone still dealing with dell..

    Nice machine, but overpriced and lack of 1920 resolution. Good luck.

    I guess 1680x1050 is close enough lol. Main reason they do these oddballs is the screen is 16:10 not 16:9

    I got to give it to apple, they can charge anything for these things and people just keep buying them. Hope you really love that thing because you have to at that price.
