!@#$%!, thanks for your help, I just had a few questions:
I was looking at the Dell M65, and it seems like it comes with the good video card, but not too much else. The $1700 one comes with a 1.66 processor, a 15" screen, only 512 memory, no DVD burner, and a 60 GB hard drive. I guess I could get it up to a 1.83 processor, 1 GB of memory, and an 80 or maybe 100 GB hard drive for around my price range, but it feels like i'm getting a lot less.
I'm sort of looking for what's most essential, how important is the 512 MB video card? Is the business class really that much better than the consumer line? The one I was looking at before was the Inspiron E1705, with the 17" screen, 1.66 processor, 2 GB memory, 100 GB hard drive, and then the video card is the 256 MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1400 HyperMemory. That's coming in at $1979, and then there's also the option of upgrading to the 256 NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS for another $150 (is that worth it?).
My major won't be involving computers I don't think, video editing is just an interest of mine, so it's not my complete priority. This is all very frustrating...it seems like these things are always just a little bit out of your price range.
