    I just chatted with dell and they are sending me a new (maybe refurbished im not sure) laptop to replace my I6000 that was screwing up.
    i was woundering if anyone knows what i would get?

    my specs of the I6000 are:
    2.0 ghz Pentium M
    80 gb hdd
    1 gig ram
    1680x1050 screen
    ati x300

    thanks

    Why is it not fair? Dell reserves the right to determine what system they replace with...

    You will get something similar or better, if they find a 6000 they will send you that one, if not, they will send a 6400 if not they will send a 1525. its a dell policy you will get something similar or better.

    Yeah, i know i got lucky!
    It is sooo much better than the I6000, plus it has a bluray drive!
    I was suprised that I got it, I chatted with the reps and I asked them which model to expect and they told me a 1520/1525, but I got lucky and got the M1530!

    I got it april of 2005.
    My I6000 still had a year on its warrenty and it started to crap out, left speaker broke, headphone jack broken, signs of gpu dying, and messed up touchpad. All of those started happening 3 months ago, so i told them i wanted it fixed and they asked if i wanted a system exchange.
