    Well I bit the bullet and finally decided on what notebook I want. I have been looking at lots of notebooks for the last few months trying to find the correct notebook for me. For the looks and specs of this Dell I couldn't pass it up.
    Dell is having a Clearance thing on the Dell Inspiron 1564 because of the new Dell 15R.
    I couldn't pass up the deal.
    This is what I ordered.
    Well I bought a Dell Inspiron 1564.
    Specs:
    15.6" display
    Intel i3
    4gb RAM
    500gb HDD
    Black in color
    9 cell battery

    Clearance for $549 + free shipping + 10% bing cash back = So around $500.

    Not bad IMO.

    Dell limited quantity notebooks:

    I really like how the style of the notebook is very similar to the Dell Studio.
    The 1564 looks like it is built better then the 15R also.

    I want to buy a clear skin protector to cover the whole notebook.

    As far as I can find is that Ghost Armor has one for $39.99.
    Product:
    Ghost Armor | Product Info

    I do prefer invisibleSHIELDS by Zagg but they dont have one for a Dell 1564.

    I emailed them to see if they can make one.

    Anyone have any good results with Ghost Armor?

    Also does anyone suggest a decent notebook sleeve/bag for this notebook?

    I cant wait to get my new notebook!

    My status so far says "In Production".

    Well I got a hold of Zagg.com and asked if they can make a custom made skin for a Inspiron 1564 but they said they cant.

    So I am going to order a Ghost Armor one.

    I will post a review about it when I get it.

    I could also go for your choice, but I need a Full HD screen at least :(

    lol, is there really that much of a difference in the screen that my notebook I ordered has compared to a Full HD screen?
    I am sure it wont matter to me because I don't really play much game or watch much movies.
    Mainly going to be a homework/web browsing notebook.

    Then you must have been gone for Full HD for your requirements !!!

    Full HD not for gaming, its for more work/visible screen area with high quality display.
    For gaming lower resolution like yours 1366x768 will do.
