    I like the E1405 for it's size, but I'm not sure if it's worth it over the E1505 since it hasn't gotten totally "stabilized" yet on the site in terms of what you can configure it with. Any feedback is appreciated!

    If your not playing games or anything then the E1405 is a great choice! It's smaller, lighter and gets better battery life. But the E1505 does have the option for an X1400 many times the power of the Intel 950 GMA. The larger screen is nice for some, but it depends on how much you travel with it.

    Also depends on whether or not you want internal BT because the E1405 doesn't have that option yet.

    Thanks guys, I went with the E1405 since it was cheaper than the E1505 with the exact same specs, I'm not a PC gamer so the integrated graphics aren't a huge deal. I ordered it yesterday to get the $750 off coupon.

    I can't wait till it arrives!
