You're a bit of a douche.

However, I will say that the deals are fairly similar but given than I have a 500gb external harddrive with plenty of space, and a mouse costs $20 which I don't even use with a laptop, your deal isn't so great for me. I don't play games much and I barely decided I wanted the 256mb, so 512mb is pointless. I already have a free copy of MS Office.

I almost forgot - I also get a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it is released.

Wow... umm be careful!!!! Dell has really bad customer support!!!!
They've been fine so far, and why would I need to contact them anyway?

Why would you even say this? It's not helpful, just negative.

Don't know. All I know is that LED uses less power than regular screens.

To my knowledge LED screens are brighter and the colours are more vivid and have a higher contrast.

Also IMO laptops with decent specs arent worth it if you wanna move around buy a cheap ass crappy laptop you're better off with a desktop

Sorry can you rephrase that, maybe with punctuation. I've read it three times and I'm not sure what you'er trying to say.

I like the specs; it's a decent model with enough balls to do most things. Even if you want to install the new Windows 7 Beta you can do that if you like.
Good for photoshop, movie editing and the screen I want.

Seriously? I'll break it down for you.

Also, in my opinion, laptops with decent specs aren't worth it. If you want to move around buy a cheap ass crappy laptop. You're better off with a desktop.

Besically, desktops > laptops. If you want something to move around with, don't waste money on a big flash expensive laptop. Buy a cheap one and get a decent desktop. I think thats the general idea of his post...
