    Dell 600m Vs. 6000

    I agree, having that widescreen is more usefull than most people think. Id take a 6000 over a 600m ANY day, especially with the WUXGA screen (1920x1200 res) See sig for config.. heh, that rhymes... Portability and no games = 700m or that hp DV1000, games AND portability = 6000D games and...

    1680x1050 resolution issue on laptop

    If you have a WUXGA screen, why in the world are you running it at 1680x1050, you should be running it at 1920x1200. THEN adjust the font if you cant stand it. Personally, i like mine at 96dpi at 1920x1200...even without my glasses on.

    Although i agree with you entierely, as thats what we use at work...how in the hell and why in the hell are you getting that for college? If you want a workstation, get the dell 9300, soup it up with a 6800go and 2100 PM or whatever, 1GB or more ram and you'll have just as much power and the...

    Laptop for college freshman (or something else)?

    Im still looking for price point.....for 2000 US you can get one hell of a laptop that would fit everything he could possibly need, seeing as how he knows very little about computers. And personally, i think docking stations are a waste of time for college, you only really need one for work...

    ya, the 6000 would do alright, but if all you do is surf and watch DVD's, and want portability....you should have gotten the 700M from dell with that 750 off coupon....but i guess youll have to wait for another one.
