bells and whistles vs warranty

latitude D830 vs XPS M1530

latitude comes with the base of what i want, with a 3 yr warranty

xps comes with absolutely everything i want, but only a 1 yr warranty

what exactly does the xps come with that you are wanting?
you mean hardware parts? or like a free case and so on? haha

hardware

better lcd (basic on the latitude vs hd on the xps)
more ram (2gb on the latitude vs 4gb on the xps)
difference on graphics cards (256mb NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M on latitude vs 256mb GeForce 8600m gt on xps)
more hard drive room (120 gb on latitude vs 320 gb on xps)
xps has fingerprint reader, webcam
better battery (6 cell on latitude vs 9 cell on xps)
wireless g on latitude vs wireless n on xps

latitude costs $1382

k.....my worry is that i'm going to be using it for college and it might get some heavy use

yeah well you will have a lot more power to mess around with as far as components go... and the battery will last longer so you wont have to have it charging as much... great for college haha

The warranty on dell's are crap anyways so get the XPS.

Call dell and ask about warranties. For alienware, you can buy a warranty later if you can't afford it when you get the laptop.
