This is smokin' hot and it is isn't barebones either.

 

Dual Core, 1GB and DVD Burner are nice. I would probably upgrade to SXGA+, OS CD's and maybe Bluetooth.

Same upgrades here. I'd need an external/PC-Card sound card, though, because I wouldn't want to let my 5.1 setup go to waste.

Got mine yesterday and I love it. I would recommend the extended battery life though. I was dissapointed that my drives from my old Dell laptop don't fit it, but I can always use the external set up for them.

 

Edit: I got the Nvidia card as my upgrade and it rocks. I don't remember paying that much to upgrade it to that though?

I'm som tempted by this for my wife..

 

I'm wondering if I should update the display as well... How nice is the standard one?

It's pretty nice. I got the standard, but one of the laptops I have has the SXGA and that's really nice too. My last Dell had a cruddy display that I couldn't use outside, but this one looks good. I see everyone saying upgrade to the SXGA and I can't say it was a necessity for me. Maybe someone else can put it better into words why u should upgrade?

Ross,

 

I got the 1405 on Sat for $699. It was the 1505 on Sun, the 1705 on Mon, and the B130 on Tues. It's possible the 1505 only had a 80gig on Sun but I didn't remember it. It might be nice if GD would track the Days of Dells stuff like sometimes happens with WootOffs. I'm trying to decide if I should cancel the 1405 and buy this 1505. I would lose 20 gig, and pay $160 to get a slightly larger screen, better screen WXGA+ TFT up to SXGA+, and get a better video card.

 

The bluetooth upgrade is $49 for this but was only $20 on the 1405 so that accounts for some of the jump.

 

Is the video card upgrade really necessary ($99 to the 256MB Radeon)? What about the $71 screen upgrade? Does Ultrasharp make a big difference?

 

Thanks for all that you guys do to help the rest of us out.

 

Steve
