i am looking to get a laptop

i have short listed these 2 models

dell xps m1210
12.1" display
geforce g0 7400

or dell inspiron 6400
15.4" display
ati moblity radeon x1400

remaining all specifications are same

The later will be faster, mainly becoz it has a x1400. Get it, will be good enough to play current games at medium settings. But be sure to upgrade ur RAM to 1GB (most ideal for NB).

M1210: Portability at the cost of a higher price tag and a smaller screen.....

your call

the 1210 apparently also looks way cool.....

i am also considering the 1210....just wish someone would close my sale

but one thing i felt about m1210 was that the screen is just too small

the resolution makes up for it (1280X800)...

and you can't refute the fact that tiny lappies look uber cool

esp one that can run HL2

Get the XPS if looks is more important and if u travel more. The small size really help while traveling.
