Default The specs on my new toy

So, I got a Dell... Dude. It's an inspiron 1420. The specs:

2.4GHz Core 2 Duo
3M L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB
4 GB of Ram
320GB Samsung HDD
128MB nVidia GeForce Graphic Card
14.1" Widescreen, Glossy

With the nVidia, I get 1440 x 900. Not too shabby. So far, I haven't even come close to hitting 100% CPU usage. Even though it's currently running Vista, it's still blazing fast. I prefer this computer overall to my MBP, but I would take a BlackBook or an Air over this. Pound for pound, it'll hold its own. If Apple products didn't have the "Apple Tax" then I would have stayed in the family.

No worries, still LOVE my iMac.

Sounds good - especially the 4GB of RAM. Vista still seems scary bad though

Size vs. Performance with cost factored in. I think the MBP is just too big. That's just my opinion. It's an awesome machine, but it's quite large...

Wow. Uhm, where to start. Dead pixels on 2 machines, and then a dead HDD. Then I went pro. Liked it (this was my 2nd pro), but then you can read what happened to that one, in my post where I asking for help... kinda.

My mom just ordered a Dell Inspiron with Vista. I could not convince her to get Mac. She is excited. She had a Dell LT, then an HP. She liked the Dell much better. The HP was a POS that always had problems.

I am glad you are excited about your new baby, Ram.
