I wish I could get my hands on one of those epp 30% coupons for the latitude =[ One of the reasons I'm so tempted to get the Inspiron is because of the 35% taken off automatically..

the 15.4" on the E1505 has an option for WUXGA now?? I thought it was only WSXGA+, huh...
well as you can tell by my sig, I went for the D820, its got a better build quality and it looks a lot nicer, I'm not 100% sure, but I think that the video cards are also better than the X1400, at least I know the 120M is, not sure about the 110M. Plus the D820 gets much better battery life

I would advise getting the Latitude because they have superior build quality and better keyboards. It is well worth the extra money.
