Errr...what does it matter. You do know the Inspiron/Latitude difference is mostly branding, right? I'd say on paper the Inspiron as configured seems quite powerful. What exactly would the $2200 Latitute have that this Inspiron wouldn't have?

Good luck. I bought an HP Pavilion for $1300 earlier this year and ended up selling for $800 a couple months later to buy a MacBook. The HP had 100 GB drive, 1 GB RAM, and DVD burner, and yet I had buyer's regret after just a couple of weeks because that's how long it took for me to start getting "DLL not found" error popups and things like that in Windows. My MacBook as purchased had 60 GB drive, 512 MB memory, and no DVD burner, and yet I've been thrilled with it ever since (only upgrade has been to buy a 1 GB stick of memory).

well it is my dad's, I made the order though, why would I be embarrassed to let anyone know? it's not like it's a dildo or something, it's a very powerful machine that ALREADY has Core 2 Duo and was delivered within 2 business days

the buyers the dildo?
Why do you think the "dell guy" that was doing the commercials got busted for pot? Most likely it was the fact that he was lying to millions of people about how good Dells are and he had to be high to actually do it! Just my 2 cents..............risc said:First your dad ordered it and now you ordered it. Did you buy a Dell buy were too embarrassed to let anyone know?

dmw007 and Chundles..seriously...seek help. Immediately. Stop spewing such mindless nonsense. Really scary...because if you apply the same degree of "critical thinking"<ahem> to actual **important** decisions in your life versus a freakin' computer, your futures do not look bright.
Jericho...you made a solid choice. Dell makes a very good machine for the money. It's too bad Apple can't offer similar specs with OS X in a laptop. As much as I love Apple, I ain't buying another Apple laptop until it at least is *close* to a Dell or Alienware in specs and price. Apple did it with the Mac Pro...but not the portables. Maybe someday.....
peace
Finally

I love macs
Mac's are fantastic, this film was made with a macintosh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScE1mzL9b-k Mac's are the bomb yo diggidy! I like them allot, I believe this was a mac user convention. Very nice IMO.
BTW:
If i was a millionaire, i'd buy the mac, then piss on it while filming a vid and then run it over with my car and at the end hold my Dell up in the air as a token of victory. That **** would be so ****in sweet.
Keep up the goodwork guys.

Ah so thats where the elite mac users hang out. Well since I got a MBP now I guess I'll join in..where's my cornbread?

Eat your "conebread"
I have a Mac - with more on the way - but I also own Dell Precisions, Latitudes and Inspirons as well as VAIOs. I think the higher-end Dell hardware is better engineered and the Precision / Latitude support is light years beyond the Applecare, but I can't deny even the greatest Apple fanboy that the OS and applications are superior and the hardware while it may be less reliable gives you a far better feeling when using it.
I guess if you could afford a Mac - or a truly decent PC for that matter - in the first place (and it's hardly as though they cost a fortune) you wouldn't make posts like the above few - you would probably offer up more specific insights to their presumed inferiority.

Calm down tiger, Iv'e seen the commercials on television too. How could I argue the "presumed inferiority" of Mac after seeing the commercial, I'm down!
Oh no, you've implied that I'm poor! It actually is kind of cold outside right now, guess I'll throw some newspaper in the trash can to see if I can generate some heat. :O GO MAC!
