That was my other option. It was $999, plus I would have gotten $99 cashback, and a camera, cellphone or a software package for an extra dollar. It was much lower-spec'd than this beaut', 'ough.

The battery backup is really great. I can surf for about 3+ hours (6 cell battery) on a full charge!

I'll get mine on 2nd March. I don't plan to play games on laptop, but can you tell me the video card (Intel or Nvidia) you have on your notebook and the games you played?

I wait the end of the strikes in Martinique to order a new PC (Q6600, HD 4850) ... actually all the island is blocked!

I am thinking about a new laptop but I am actually considering a Macbook.

Anyone have a favorite PC laptop that they would recommend that would handle photoshop, video editing, and must be good with a projector whether VGA, RCA or s-video?

I think any decent notebook PC should be able to meet those requirements -- although you might need an adapter.

I choose Dell Latitude's because they are durable and well-supported.

I have a Latitude D820 today, but I'll probably buy an E6500 next month.

I have an ATI Raedon 256MB video card and I can play GTA IV quite easily. (It recommends 512MB video card.)

Just a tip to those who are considering buying the dell studio 15:

The touchpanel buttons sometimes have problem when you boot your computer from a cold start or after a long start. The ejcect button stays on for sometime and other buttons won't work for about a min or so. But then everything is normal. However after talking to dell CC and reading lot of forums I concluded that this is more of a BIOS and NSS problem that occurs when you have Windows Automatic update on. If install a Vista upgrade do check the upgrades for the following things as well:
1. Dell Quickset
2. Notebook System Software
3. BIOS Update

If you take care of these things, I am sure you won't face any problem.
