What I want is along the lines of a desktop replacement so the 17" systems are more what I'm looking for. The backlit keyboard is a plus... until my wife sees it, then she'll want one. lol

But only as a desktop replacement - it´s too big and heavy. I like the 3300 because it´s small, light and fast enough. Way better than a netbook and almost as small. The dedicated graphics card is entry level but it´s fast enough for most office applications.
