    Well I just got my Vostro 1500 6 days early and I love it! First, It has an AUO screen (1280x800) and it looks stunning! I do alot of photoshop work with my new web-comic and all and this screen works well with it. No grain, and great colors! I watched the TOP GEAR polar expedition special in HD on this laptop and it looks gorgeous. The whites are white and the blacks are black! I got the 8600 GT (Dell drivers) and so far Lego Star Wars II plays like a dream! The keyboard feels really smooth and all the blue accent lights look great! My only issue is that the web cam doesn't work right now. Something about a driver. I must say that I am very impressed with this laptop. It's not nearly as heavy as I thought or as bulky and looks much better in person compared to the pictures I've seen. The track pad is really good too, not too small for me. 3 hours battery life. If someone is considering one I hope this tiny review helps.
