    Well after weeks of debate and 2 returns I have finally decided on a notebook. I just ordered a 9300 with:

    2GHz
    1 GB RAM
    UXGA
    Bluetooth/802.11 a/b/g
    NVIDIA 6800
    DVD/CD +- RW
    60GB 7200 RPM HD
    Mediterranean blue cover
    $2196 after tax.

    Hope I made the right decision. I really like the look and feel of the ZD8000 but I wanted better graphics. I hate the keyboard on the 9300 and its a pretty utilitarian looking machine, but I decided to sacrifice sexy for higher resolutions and longer battery life.
    Could have gotten the XPS2 for 2600, but other than the video card and stylized case I couldn't see what was worth the extra 400 dollars.

    The 9300 is due here by April 24, and I will post my review within days of that. If anyone else has received theres yet, please share your experiences.
