Answer» Ok thanks Patio The RPM is the speed of writing but does it do anything else besides that?
Jonas It's actually the speed the HDD spins at but it results in quicker read/writes and seek times. It is a performance boost that's worth the extra cabbage.I almost got that right Thanks ok I will take that cost then that would be the perfect laptop in my price class. (I hope) Thanks
Jonas You could actually lower the CPU more if needed to lower the price and not see much of a difference. The $100 for .2GHz is not worth it at all, high end models are always at a premium LIKE this. As has been said, a 7200rpm HDD will be a big difference compared to a 5400rpm version, trust me. It's definitely worth a little more CASH for the performance, even if battery life suffers a tad (only usually maybe 10 minutes). The wireless card is fine, it supports wireless G which is mainstream wireless now. My uncle has the very similar 1370 card and has had no problems. The difference between the video cards . . . the Intel X3100 is integrated, it uses system memory so performance will suffer from the loss of 256Mb RAM. They are also not all that powerful. The NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 140M is the workstation equivalent of the GeForce Go 8400/8500 series. So it's a pretty powerful card in itself, which will not steal system RAM. It's quite a lot more powerful than the X3100, and is good for workstation applications too. Either option is fine for the Aero interface, but if you plan on gaming or any 3D work you should get the dedicated Quadro card.
Nice laptop you have sorted out there, how much is it? Couldn't see a price. Oh, ONE last thing - English keyboards are qwerty, yes.I wasn't out for gaming sow the prefix will do.

When I did that I noticed that it was much more because I don't get discount in Belgium I totally loved it but without the discount it costs $1867 and that is just to much. (otherwise my 50cc wouldn't be of good quality.) Man, I hate that Europe is has to pay more money that's just not fair.

I'll keep looking and post when I found something thanks for the advice and if you want to add some comment: feel free. Finalise what you want on that machine and i'll ship it to you disguised as a cake...I called Dell and asked why there is such difference between those pricess. They asked me to send both the spec and prices. And they also told me that it would be possible to ship one from Amerika to europe. Because the power suply is different sow you wouldn't be able to load te battery even with this:
Now there looking in to it and they 'll mail or call me when the have an answer. I hope they have the solution. Thanks, Patio, for the offer but it looks like this isn't a solution for this problem.
Jonas They still haven't called or mailed me I hope the will look in to it as they say! If they haven't called me by Tuesday I'll give them an other mail. One thing I learned: Never be to kind in this cases. Or should I start looking at an other portable?
Jonas I'd contact them and say you are considering another machine since they have been lax in assisting you...that oughta get things rollin pretty good...
