I've been looking at notebooks for quite a while, and thanks to the $800 off 1,999 coupon I managed to catch, I just put in an order for this Inspiron 6000:
Pentium M 730 (1.6GHz)
15.4" WSXGA+ screen
1GB RAM (2x512)
128MB Radeon X300 Graphics
XP Professional
80GB Hard drive
DVD-ROM Drive
Original price: $2,001.00
Final price with the $800 off coupon and tax: $1,294.38
I don't expect to have it for a couple of weeks, but that's OK, I'll probably be getting this as soon as I get back from vacation. I looked at the 9300, but I'll take portability over power, since I don't plan to be using it for a whole lot of gaming (that's what I've got my desltop for.) This is also going to be my first Intel-based system in quite a while (I think the last one I built was a P3-500 on a 440BX board, I've gone all AMD ever since.) Thoughts?
