not bad considering i paid the same price for a celeron rig with subpar features just less than a year ago. damn dropping PC prices are the reason why i don't bother to upgrade no more.

I would wait, Dell usually has some sort of a sale every month or so where you can get a nice laptop for ~$1,000.

i agree with odz...try and wait it out until the next dell deal! (i know how hard this can be though, i am waiting myself!)
