Has anyone tried this lappy out? I just came their site today and noticed the price isnt too shabby for a decent sounding system.

Here are some specs:

price $1,398.00 *
mail-in rebate − $50.00

price after rebate $1,348.00
you saved 3.6%


Processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 3.00 GHz w/HT Technology
Display FREE Upgrade from 15" XGA to 15.4" WXGA (1280x800)
128MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) 9600
512MB DDR SDRAM (2x256MB)
60 GB 4200 RPM Hard Drive
Primary CD/DVD Drive FREE Upgrade from DVD to DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive!!
54g 802.11b/g
12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery

The only thing I have no idea about, is the quality. Right now I'm a bit biased toward Dell, but with perfectly good reason. Their cust service has been one of the best so far, and my I8500 was a great system to mod and have fun with.

The dell I8600 I'm looking at has:

Intel Pentium M Processor 705(1.5GHz) 15.4 WSXGA
256MB DDR SDRAM
128MB DDR ATI's MOBILITY RADEON 9600 PROTURBO
40GB Hard Drive (I'm the delete master, dont need much room)
24X CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive
Dell Wireless 1350 Internal Wireless (802.11b/g, 54Mbps)
Total: $1,377.90

Oh ya, and I'm needing the laptop for Photoshop and games mostly.
