Just got my laptop from UPS about an hour ago… so far, i’m extremely pleased with it… currently posting from it now… i would recommend anyone looking for a good bang for the buck desktop or laptop to head over to the dell outlet… thanks again for the help in picking this 🙂 ---

:tup: glad you’re happy with it. God, dell should give me referral bonuses, i’ve sent them at least 10 purchases to their outlet, plus the 2 i’ve bought for myself. I have pretty much the same specs as you on my 1537 except with the WXGA+ screen and blu-ray drive instead of the backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, and 9-cell batt.
