I'm ordering tomorrow - you have 24 hours to stop me!
Well, the time has come for me to get a new laptop. Here are the specs:
Dell Inspiron 8600
Intel Dothan 1.60GHz - 2MB Cache and 400MHz FSB
15.4" Widescreen WUXGA 1920 x 1200 Resolution
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
768MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM
60GB UATA 7200RPM HDD
8x DVD+RW/+R with CD-RW Combo Drive
Dell Wireless 1450 (802.11a/b/g) MiniPCI Card
128MB DDR ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo
Well those are the main specs. If you think I shouldn't be ordering this, please come up with some good reasons and let me know. 
I've searched high and low, and I figured that this would be the best one for my needs. And if you think that resolution is psychotic...it's because I'm that kind of person. I need a high resolution!  That was actually one of the main reasons why I went ahead with this model.
On a side note, Microsoft Works is bundled with this by default. I was looking to order this by phone. Do you think if I asked the sales consultant on the other end of the line to get rid of this (because I really don't need it as I have Office for it already), they would drop the price of the package?
I look forward to gung-ho responses from those who choose to mock my purchasing decision. :devilboy:
