Dell Studio 15inch or Latitude 5500 ?
I am leaning towards Latitude 5500.
Main things about LAtitude in order of my priority.
1.9 cell is a must . Have to pay ~2.8 K more for it .
2.Is 2 GB default ?.I want 2GB.
3.3 years normal warranty is good.
4. 15.4 " Widescreen WXGA + (1440X900) Display with TrueLife (TM) is 3K more .Standard screen is also fine if budget shoots up.
5.Better build quality .
6.Has 160 GB only default . Thats fine .
7.Standard blue tooth and wireless is fine I think.
8.latitude has by default better Processor.
Some questions -
1.From 9-cell battery how much run time can I expect ? (normal stuff ) .
2.The integrated graphics on 5500 ,how good is it ?.I dont need it for games or high end things ,low to moderate should be ok. Need good colors though .
3.How much is lowest price for the default 5500 configuration ?( not from the dell website ) .
4.Is the build quality and stability of 5500 worth that studio ?
5.Any know issues with E5500 ?
Laptop gurus please advice .
PS:I have a high end tower (self built) at home . This will be backup or second computer.
