    I ordered a refurbished Studio XPS 16 laptop today from Dell Home Outlet.

    • Windows Vista Home Premium
    • Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
    • 250 GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
    • 4 GB RAM
    • 512MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 3670
    • 16 inch WLED LCD (1366x768)
    • 8X DVD+/- RW
    • One Year Warranty

    The machine was $792.95 with free Next Day shipping.

    I plan on using it for work, school, and gaming. What do you think?

    After ordering it at 3 PM yesterday, Fed Ex was at my door at 9:30 this morning with my laptop!

    I've been using it for the last two hours and it's great. My only gripes so far are the lack of DVI and what seems to be a big issue with fingerprints showing up.

    Now, that surely *fast shipping* :D Grat's on the arrival!
    When I received my 1530, I went thru the lappy top to bottom, etc..and kept a list of any issues I might have a concern with. ;)

    Wish mine was that fast, I ordered mine on the 29th and still waiting for overnight shipping... The two I got a few weeks ago took two days, but this one is taking forever.. But, I got a blockbuster deal, so I am ok with waiting...
