1,400$ is too much for that Dell. Fill out the FAQ.
Inspiron E1505 is not worth more than 1000$ in my opinion.

The Compal HEL80 seems to be a good choice. The Dell E1505 isnt too bad, but not worth the $1400.

Thank you for filling out the FAQ.
The Asus S96J and Compal HEL80 or HGL30 are some nice systems that you may squeeze into your budget. Chances are you will have to go a little over $1200 for a decent configuration though.
How much of a priority is gaming for this system?
Answer:
Re: Dell E1505 Dual core? is it worth it..
for that price the compal hel80 would be a good choice

Trying to find a standard-aspect ratio screen is going to be tough...there are fewer and fewer these days. The Thinkpad T60 may be worth a look though. I think it still has enough deals going to put the 15 inch screen with the maxed out video chip within your budget.
