Acer Ferrari 4000 or Dell Inspiron XPS?

Id like some stats and opinions whove used both systems, and what would you say gives better processing and all good stuff, thanks!

if you post this in the acer section, I can guarantee you most people will support the Ferrari with turion, portability, battery life, and stimulating looks...

it matters what you are aiming to do, budget, and specific parts you want in a notebook

you left a broad question, so i'll leave a broad response

The ferrari, unless you want to carry around that xps like your dragging a sack of bricks

The way I see it, the processor of the Ferrari is better future-proofed because it's 64-bit, but the graphics card of the XPS2 is better future-proofed simply because it's more powerful and may even be upgradeable. The XPS2 is going to be more powerful at playing current games, but it's larger and heavier and the battery won't last as long as that of the Ferrari. That's what it's come down to for me.

For the fastest mobile (~6lbs, 15.4", ok battery life) gaming notebook: Ferrari 4005WLMi, which also happend to be fully 64-bit supported with all official x64 drivers from Acer.

For the fastest DTR (10+lbs, 17", short battery life) gaming notebook: Dell XPS

IMO I can't really recomend a 32-bit only notebook at this time. There are 64-bit enhanched games showing up and that is where everything is headed. But if you want the fastest gaming performance right now and don't care about other features then yes maybe the Dell would be nice for you. But who knows what you might want to use your notebook for for a year or more from now.
