It's kinda hard to get used to the keyboard and the touchpad, but I am slowly getting used to it...

Dell Inspiron 8200
P4 1.6 M Processor
512 MB Ram
Geforce 4 Go 64 MB Vid Card
40 Gig Hard Drive
15.1 Ultra Sharp display (thing is so crisp I can't even see a pixel!)

Envy me :)

Damn I hope you used some coupons, got some free upgrades, a rebate of $100 - $300 AND got free shipping ... otherwise you got ripped off.

I'm debating whether I should or shouldn't purchase the same laptop. Only difference is 128MB of RAM(gonna get 256 from crucial) and just the DVD no burner. Should I really spend $1700 on something I really don't need?
