It's currently running well at 2.26 and undervolted. Is the core duo/950 chipset much faster? I'm hesistant as the AUO screen doesn't seem as good as the Quanta. My quanta screen is my first dell screen I don't use at full brightness and it has no sparklies. Also are the batteries interchangeable? Thanks!

i dont see the point in upgrading to a e1405, it will cost you a little over $1000 and all you will be getting is a 1.6 dual core and a wxga+ screen. you would also be loseing the a/b/g wireless card and only be getting a b/g card. this is not that big of a deal because not that many palces use "A" bandwidth anymore.

Actually I paid 660 for my XPS M140 and only 603 dollars for my e1405.

I paid only $70 more for my e1405 than the m140 I returned. I figured for that amount it was worth the dual core processor and higher resolution screen.

Get the 15" Targus sleeve at Best Buy (if they still sell it). Very thin and light - perfect for carrying it in a backpack or shovel it in the passengers seat without much care.
