To be honest, eBay is not the place you want to purchase your Dell. I have a hunch that the seller probably got it last Oct when Dell had that $750 off $1500 sale (That's how I got mine, in my sig). The extra options over mine still...

I don't think mine is too heavy. In fact, I think it's lighter than my old i8100.

If you really need that 5% performance increase and don't care about loud noise over 5400rpm drives, then hitachi 7k60 (or the upcoming seagate 7200.2). Otherwise, your best option will be seagate 100gb 5400.2 momentus.
