    Hey friends. Hope everyone is having a good first day of October. [​IMG]

    I just got my 1520, and it's everything I've dreamed of and more. (I know that sounds far-fetched and exaggerated, but I really like it!) Maybe my one little gripe is that it's just slightly a bit large to haul around my office all day from station to station, so I am just curious about what people think about owning both the 1520 and a 14"er, namely the Vostro 1400.

    Is that just a dumb idea? I'm curious if there is any real-world size difference between the two: is the weight and dimension difference negligible in that it's not worth it? It's so darn tempting because the outlet has some nice specs on some Vostro refurbs ~$550, and it'd be nice to have that "kick-around" laptop while the sexiness is at home.

    Let me know what you think! ;) Thanks.

    -Brian
