Because I am paying my own way, I have a Dell XPS-15 on order as it's one of the cheapest sandy-bridge 1080P laptops I could find.
It's at least $1K less than a MacBook Pro. I have the last generation MacBook Pro 15 SSD but I need more horsepower and storage for photo editting. It is bigger and heavier with less battery life... I took advantage of a EPP promotion that I found online at fatwallet.com a couple weeks ago (new promotion every week), $1148 tax and shipping included (including graphics, dual band WiFi/Bluetooth, backlit keyboard upgrades) and they threw in 2 years of in-home service... They tossed in an unlocked 5" Dell Streak 5 Android (Froyo 2.2) tablet phone for $99 more... 1 225-0675 XPS 15 1 317-6408 2nd generation Intel Core i7-2630QM processor 2.00 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 2.90 GHz 1 317-6414 6GB,DDR3,2 DIMM 1 331-1668 Backlit Internal Keyboard - English 1 320-1673 15.6FHD TLF B+RGLED LCD L501X 1 320-2120 NVIDIA GeForce GT540M 2GB graphics with Optimus 1 342-2372 640GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 1 421-1737 Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English 1 318-0427 8X Tray Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive) 1 430-4048 Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 and Bluetooth 3.0 1 312-1186 92 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery 1 939-4880 Dell Limited Hardware Warranty Plus In-Home Service After Remote Diagnosis, 1 Year Extended 1 939-4870 Dell Limited Hardware Warranty Plus In-Home Service After Remote -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Seattle area Alt.Net" group.
