rustar,

 

to the forums, we seem to have a growing international presence :)

 

You are the first person ever to post questions and answer them at the same time, that's awesome!

 

I agree with you, the Dell Inspiron E1505 is the right laptop for your needs.

 

Please follow my instructions here on how to save $300 off $999.

 

I would order soon because it may take 1-2 weeks to build the laptop plus shipping time. Since we do not know when it will ship, you may want to pay for expedited (quicker) shipping so you receive it before you return to Germany.

 

You can also try this for $649 remember to upgrade:

• Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition re-installation CD [add $10]
• 15.4 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen SXGA+ Display with TrueLife™ [add $100 or $3/month2]
