    I was pretty much all set to get a MBP, but the more I think about it, all my apps I have is for windows, and I have no issues with windows. I will give Vista another shot snice I get it for free and if need be, load XP Pro. Thus with the offical launch today, and better pictures, I decided the XPS 1330 would fit better. The smaller profile, sexy desgin that I feel looks better than the MBP, solid set of features, great preformace, decent dedicated GPU to allow for light gamming. Also if anyone decides to order, call Dell. They were willing to knock off 100$ off the base price pull upgrade my shipping to over night.

    Well in preformace I meant Desktop, editing, dvd authoring. As far as gamming, as long as I can play WoW, Starcraft 2, HL2, and older games, I will be happy. I am not really into gamming ATM at least new games.
