Sounds like a nice laptop... but you may be able to save a couple hundred bucks with a Dell coupon. Check out http://www.notebookreview.com/dellCoupon.asp for Dell coupons posted often or check http://forum.notebookreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12 for folks who post up deals or links to other Dell coupons.

also if your not in a rush check slickdeals.net daily to see if your laptop pops up cheaper. My buddy and I bought the same dell laptop except he paid a couple hundred less.

you'll love it, I love my inspiron 710m

3lb ultra portable's rock.

I hope you got the truelife or whatever screen with the coating, side by side my 710m the screen looks so much better than my gf's inspiron 1150's screen that is larger but doesn't have the coating.

"A TrueLife display offers a viewing experience that is more crisp and more vivid than lower resolution displays that have anti-glare coatings and lower contrast ratios. Enjoy movies and photos like never before."
from what I've read it's a glossy coating rather than a matte one. we'll see when I get it (its supposed to ship the 16th [Big Grin] )
