    My 14 Days To Be Able To Return My 1525 Are Almost Here And I Still Havent Even Opened The Box....heres What I Need Help With... I Bought An Inspiron 1525 From Best Buy For $599..it Has The Intel Core 2 Duo (t5750) 2ghz Processor And 3gb Memory And 250 Gb Hard Drive. I Need To Know If I Should Keep This Laptop Or Is It Worth And Am I Better Off Getting This From Dell....studio 15 (1535) With The Intel Core 2 Duo Processor At A Speed Of 2.16 Ghz And 3gb Memory And 320 Gb Hard Drive With The Backlit Keyboard And A Wireless N Card Which I Guess Is An Upgrade From The G Card For Aboout $775....what I Basically Need It For Is Paying Bills, Alil Myspace Here And There, A Lil Online Shopping, Listening To Music Via Cd Or Itunes Library And Emailing And Storing Pictures .. Please Help Me Decide If Its Worth It For Me To Spend An Extra $200 Based On My Uses

    Hey, I don't think think its worth the extra $200 since you are not doing anything to demanding, there is not much difference between the 2 laptops. The processor is only a little faster and the hard drive is alot bigger on the studio 15. 250GB is plenty of room and most people have trouble filling that up.

    The inspiron is a well built laptop and it seems you got a pretty good deal, I would suggest you keep it!

    I would have to concur with chun. Assuming that you haven't omitted any sort of high demand activities such as games or graphic design and that your iTunes library doesn't have a copious amount of music in excess of 75gb, it's a keeper.
