    I know the inspiron is a small business laptop, but does it make a big difference for personal use? It does come with a better processor with same price:

    They are the same laptop, with slightly different specs. The only real difference between the E1505 and the 6400 is that the 6400 is not available with the Media Center OS.
    I would buy hte 6400 because of the better CPU, but really there is no difference between the two.

    really, I can pick the Inspiron 6400 Dual Core with 2.0 Ghz for the exact same price. seems weird. only thing it does not have compared to the e1505 is the Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005. so i should get the Inspiron 6400 Dual Core?

    The coupons only work for Home Office/Personal notebooks - no small business, sorry.
