    I guess it depends on the screen size. There's obviously a lot more variety and deals to be had for 15.4" screens. For 17" (the only one I focused on), Dell is currently the best bang-for-the-buck by a good margin from what I've seen. And I've been to just about all of the suggested sites. In fact, the 1720's biggest competition price-wise is the Vostro 1700 (which I had first ordered and then cancelled).
