    Honestly. I wish Dell put better graphic-cards in their Inspirion's ... or at least had a 14"-15" XPS system.

    This is definitely NOT a gamers machine. It is for people that want to get real work done. :)

    Price does include Free shipping.

    Not bad, but I just got one with a C2D 1.66, 1GB RAM, 120GB HD, DVDRW, 14" WXGA+ for $719 from dell outlet. Dell outlet is really the way to go....

    @ Katicflis - I think dell is coming out with a 14-15.4" XPS sometime soon. So that should be good...

    Well the reason I think there is going to be a 14" XPS is because Asus got the contract for dells new 14" notebook. And what does Asus usually put in their 14"'s? Nice graphics cards! 7600, 7700's, X1600's etc. And if it had one of these graphics cards, it would almost certainly have to be an XPS.
