Im looking at a Dell XPS M1530... Its $599 off and free shipping
...
I was also looking at the Mac Air but Im just not ready to transition over to that OS
- My sister has a Mac (non-pro), she likes it... Size and weight of the Mac Air are very appealing though...
Ill be placing the order tomorrow so I can get it in soon...
Any feedback on the Dell would be great...

...IMO, 4GB RAM is overkill unless you orderred the notebook with a Vista 64-bit.
Rip off!! >> 4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz (2 Dimms) [add $200 or $6/month1]
You missed last December deal:- $799 off

...- Return the 3 years warranty and just keep 1 year instead
- Return the 4GB RAM. Tell the Dell CSR that you have a spare 2GB RAM from previous notebook.
You could save >$500 more by returning those items!!
Then just order the 4GB RAM off this website for only < $80 shipped
