I just got a Dell Studio XPS 1640 and I think its pretty cool. It does have its pros and cons. If you want to talk about it, we can do so over WLM when you're free
As for getting a mac, I did look at the MacBook Pro 15 and thought it was cool (I did so after ordering my Dell
)
Edit: Just noticed we're comparing machines now. Well, I was going to go for the Dell XPS M1530 (it is amazing!) but when I called Dell up to place an order, the guy on the Sales team told me that they were shutting down the line and he suggested the Dell Studio XPS 1640 instead. Though a bit pricy, it is pretty good on performance (which is what I was looking for tbh).
And I agree with TB, the M1530 beats the MacBook Pro
TB: one question. How does the 1080p screen look? can you give me a desktop screenshot? I had a chance to upgrade the screen though it costed 10K INR more (which is a lot since I'm already paying 76K INR for the laptop).
I got the 720p and that looks pretty good. The normal DVDRip movies I had would have looked crap on a 1080p so I just stuck with the 720p
My parents just about didn't mind me paying twice as much for this laptop as a "normal one" (the ones most people here get cost around 35-40K INR) so I didn't want to push it further, even though I'm paid for the entire thing
