Post Dell Laptop ?

Is latitude better than the inspiron notebooks? Im just curious cause everytime i get a brochure in the mail the latitude is never in there i was maybe thinking they are discontinued are they?

also i will probably be getting the xps m140 and i was wondering if the intergrated video card is any good cause it is the only one i can choose. its a Bullet Intel Media Accelerator 900. is intergrated good or bad?

If your not going to be gaming why are you getting an XPS? Just go with an Inspiron.

Whoa, that's pretty pricey for a something like that. I'd check out the Asus W3V, carbon fiber chasis with a brushed aluminum lid, a whole lot of style and a dedicated x600, excellent for a 14" widescreen for less.
