    I have a Sony FZ-190... and they have the WORST customer service I ever encountered.

    However the machine I got is loaded up.... 4 GB RAM, Blu Ray, 250 GB Hard Drive (allbeit it will be slow at 5400 rpm)

    The machine is due Friday.

    Now, I see the Dell Inspirion. I cna load it up with the same features, except the hard drive would be 160 GB (but 7200 RPM) the screen of course is 14 inch compared to 15.4... The video card is an NVDIA 8400M GS not a GT... BUT the Dell comes with Sprint built in EVDO which I would use.However the Dell does not include Ultimate Vista which I would have to pay to upgrade to.

    I am using this for travelling and running around.

    The Dell configured the way I want, with an extra battery, comes to 460 dollars LESS than the Sony with my corp club discounts. Wight is about the same.

    So whould I keep the FZ or send it back for the Dell? Any suggestions would be appreciated here... they both seem very good, however I have a Dell desktop, have used Dell for years and have found them to be reliable for the most part.

    Any suggestions why keep the Sony or get the Dell would be great!

    Mike

    Don't triple-post. The poll in the "What should I buy" forum is enough. You don't need this in the Dell and Sony forums too.

    I am sorry. I am new to this system. How would I go about making a delete?
