    What do you think the weight of this E1520 would be:

    Jet-Black Color
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 T7500 (Santa Rosa)
    15.4" HD Non-Glossy Screen
    Windows Vista Home Premium (I would rather have XP, but w/e)
    GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
    Intel Next-Gen Wireless Card
    1 GB RAM (I'm going to order another GB from Newegg.com and install it myself... a lot cheaper)
    120 GB 5400 RPM Harddrive
    CD/DVD Writer
    9-cell battery

    Total Cost WITH SHIPPING AND TAX: $1870

    I updated this. I changed from 160 to 120 GB Harddrive for less weight. BTW, I JUST BOUGHT THIS!!! I'm pretty excited.

    The battery is going to play a large role in the weight, as well.

    2.2ghz is kinda waste of money. no performanceboost in reallife environment beside 1-5fps in games that already run with over 60fps or some point in pcmark lol.. 2.0 or even only 1.8 is the way to go...

    2.2 is just useful if you primary use is idling in front of it, letting super pi run and run and run :D
    and you need to order 2 x 1 GB ram cuz dell uses 2 x 512mb (or you stick to 1.5GB)
