    My procrastination is nearing an end. I believe I have narrowed down my notebook choices betwen the Dell 9300 & Sony Vaio S380. I've been to multiple retailer outlets to view the Sony S360. Can anyone tell me where I can view the Dell 9200 or a similar laptop at a retailer to get an idea of what it looks / feels like? All of the 17" notebooks at Fry's, Best Buy & CompUSA all seem really bulky and awkward to me. I contacted Dell sales, which indicated there was a Kiosk in the local mall where I live (seattle area). I contacted the mall, they indicate no suck kiosk exists.. I've read the dimensions of the laptop Height: 1.6", Width: 15.5", Depth: 11.3"...

    There are some Dell Booths in select locations. Here in Canada we have 3 or 4 in the greater Toronto area. It made a big difference for me in helping me to decide to go with a Dell.
    I bought an Inspiron 9200 and it rocks. Solid performance, great features, nice large screen, kick-ass video card delivered on time without a hitch.
    Can you tell i like my Dell??
    Check on their website and follow the link to the Dell Direct Store after going to Home& Home Office.
    Hope this helps.
