New laptop ordered

Ok .. I've had it with my current ACER Travelmate 660. This is not the machine you want for developing complex webapplications where need to compile, run,test,rewrite and so on....Like my latest project of rewriting the kids community.. running 1200MB ram at some moments
I called Dell to get me up to date with the specs of the various laptops and their final prices if I wanted a killer Machine..

Ended up with the following specs
Inspiron 9100
3.4 Ghz, 1mb L2 cache,800 Mhz FSB
15.4 " WUXGA  (1900x1220)
128 MB radeon 9700 
2 GB dim 400Mhz
60 GB 7200rpm
DVD+/-RW
Leather XL Case
Bluetooth module
1350 Wireless module
Graphite Swirl back cover
1 year Next business day on site

Now awaiting my confirmation from dell.
Then hopefully it will be put on production.
So perhaps at the end of the next week I am a hopefully happy owner of a 9100 fully loaded machine and can replace my cripple ACER

I'll let it know.. Review are speaking of a brick of power.. Only the Dell m60 seems to be a slight bit faster but the price is nearly 800 Euro higher

Nice, nice machine... I got a chance to play with a Dell D800 with the same display and loved the screen.

I have had a Precision M50 and now have a M60. The centrino just doesn't work as well as the P4.
