Great thread idea. I bought two Inspirons within the last month.

My wife's computer:
Inspiron 6400
Intel Core Duo processor T2050 (2MB/1.60GHz/533MHz)
Truelife Screen
1 GB Ram
80GB HDD
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps)
Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module

This replaces her old Dimension 4500s. Uses in her profession as a schoolteacher. She's part of a technology in the classroom project.
$837.83.

My computer:
Inspiron 640m
Intel Core Processor DUO T2050 (2MB/1.60GHz/533MHz)
Truelife Screen
1GB Ram
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card
Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module (2.0 + EDR)
120 GB HDD (got a little more to store music, movies)
$885.98

This is my work and school computer. I still have a Dimension 5100 as desktop.

We both love our new computers. We've had a really positive experience with Dell SB customer service. I intend to write more in-depth reviews later on.

e1505
120gb hdd, intel pro wireless w/ bluetooth, x1400 256mb card, 1gb ram, ultrabrite trulife screen, 3yr warranty, mcafee 3 year (which i already removed) all that jazz. it's a great machine, encoding a one minute wav to mp3 only took 5 seconds.. pretty nice. it's a replacement for my Compaq Gaming X07 rig and I'm happy with it. First thing I did was reformat and get the bloatware off, then loaded my own stuff on. Best of all, I ordered it on a Tuesday and it was delivered the following Monday! Talk about fast!

One thing's for sure! It's pretty exciting!

My lappywappy arrived, and so far it's pretty good.

Not 100% sure on the light leakage on the 17" wsxga+ though. I had the impression that after leaving it one for a few hours, the leakage was getting less... or else I'm going coocooloory.
