Dell XPS 1330 is a line which (at least in India) has been killed.
Dell Studio 17 sucks balls imo. They increased the price (99k inr -> 121k inr) and still have the same old sucky config. It was good when it came out but it isn't any more. Also, its a desktop replacement and not really a laptop. I've seen it and trust me, its something you don't want to be carrying around.

I have a Dell Studio XPS 1640 and I find its quite good. It does have a few flaws (like it heats up a lot when playing games and is kept on your bed; expected since the gfx card is working over time and not enough ventilation)

I'm always available for a full config and and benchmarks you want to run. I have the P8600 with 4gb ram running WinVista Home Premium x64 with an Intel 5300 Wireless card.

I can never understand the reasoning of people who consider Macbook as "just another laptop" and throw it on their list along with Dells and whatnot, to ultimately decide based on specs and/or price. You should make up your mind on whether you want a Mac or not.  If you don't, it shouldn't be on your list.  If you do, it should only be a question of which Apple model you want and all the other things shouldn't be on your list.

Although they are good overall quality laptops and can even run Windows (after jumping through some hoops), that is not what you should buy a Mac for.  Buy one only if you intend to use it properly -- if you want / plan to run OS X.

By the way, I think you would enjoy it.  I like mine.
