    Dont know your budget but i think you should atleast take the following things:

    T8100 or T9300 (i personally dont bother baout the T8300 since its just highe rclocked something i can do my self for free ;) )
    1440x900 screen if you have the led backlight option i would go for it !
    other components you chose your self maby get a 7200rpm HD

    Get it just like mine and with a 25% off coupon you can get it for about $1400.. Mine came out to be $1283.48 because the guy at dell gave me a EPP discount of $60 plus free next day air, but you might not be that lucky, and yours would probably come out to be around $1400..

    Check out my specs :)

    For the best deal, just wait for some sale. Check every day for coupons and special sales. You can get a great deal that way.

    See Lefixs' configuration? Match it. If you can go a bit higher, get the 9-cell battery and/or 250GB 7200RPM HD.
