I saw this as well, it's about time. Too bad they have Core 2 Duo already on their line of PC's.

Im no big fan of Dell. Worst computer company in my opinion. Apple and Sony make some good computers.

I disagree, I would much rather buy from Dell than Apple or Sony. Sony is way overpriced and Apple is just a Mac, which I dont like. I have used Dells for a while and never had a problem.

I find Dell Laptops to be extremely well built. Both me and a friend got an E1505, and they work fantastic, no problems what so ever. They also gave us $750 off coupons, so we got a $2000 laptop for only ~$1200.

Although i HATE the Mac OS, I think Apple computers are much better built hardware wise then most any factory pc.
Other then the XPS, which i cant even say if its good or not, but its hardware setup sounds good, Dell computers reek. Especially the Optiplex series. Perhaps the worst combo of hardware used. And right now im pointing fingers at the Optiplex GX280. 2m 47sec to complete pi? Damn, thats one slow computer, considering it has a P4 Prescott 2.8ghz/800mhz bus with HT. That and some of them actually have dual channel ram, some dont, some are normal SDR modules while others are dual channel DDR. Whats up with that? Same exact models, but with different memory set ups.
Which now that i think of it, wouldnt they need to have different mobos too if some had DDR dual channel and some had SDR? I dont think iv ever seen a mobo with SDR slots that has dual channel support.

For a few months (around March to July of this year), they had $750 off an Inspiron purchase of $1999 or more.
