not too bad. I think the resolution tops out at 1280x1024 though. Plus you can use mostly desktop parts so upgrade at will (except for video card). There is also the acer 18XX series that is PCI-e but 17 inch widescreen instead. What...

Ok guys lets get more creative Double smash! Still, good luck to you

Yes, but it probably won't be able to play games like doom 3 or half-life 2 in ultra-high quality. Theres a good chance the mobility radeon 9800 in the XPS can though. The mobility radeon 9700 compares to the desktop radeon 9600.

dell 8600 is pretty nice, as is the dell 600m. A lot of people have those two models on campus (GA tech). Pretty good pricing too. You're best bet is to check webpages like www.gotapex.com or the dell forums here for good deals. The...

4.8 lbs with radeon 9700 and pentium M (only 64 mb 9700 but there isn't TOO much difference) http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...115-143&depa=3 (In-case you are looking for one now instead of later)
