Any recommendations on upgrades?
Is it a good screen?
woow! sorry didn't have time to read allllllll that up. but because of sooooooo many features, it must be maybeee good.
According to their web site it appears to be a good price. They have upgraded the base computer with alot of great options. My suggestion would be to check the site below, they have reviewed your notebook and tell you the pros and cons. Good Luck.
First thing, Dell's are nightmares, 9 of 10 computers I work on are from Dell.
Secondly, thats laptop is overpriced. I bought my acer with everything you have plus the more powerful x1600 for only $1050 over one year ago.
For $1300, you can get Asus with a free 2 year parts and labor warranty (unlike the one you pay $200 something for with dell) that has a 1.8ghz core 2 duo, 1gb ram, 160gb hdd, and a Nvidia 8400 for $1300.

Or you can move up to a 2ghz core 2 duo and a Nvidia 8600 for $50 more.
