Hey i thought i would let you guys know about the laptop I purchased. I ended up getting a Dell Inspiron 8500 Spec'd as follows

P4m 2.0 GHz
15.4 XSGA+ display
256Mb ram (to be upgrade later)
40GB 5,400 rpm
10/100 NIC
802.11G
64Meg GeForce4 4200 Go
24x CD-RW/DVD drive

Seems like a pretty beefy machine but the kicker is that after rebate im only going to be paying $1293.60 I spent some time and money looking for good Dell coupons to help me with the cost. I had to buy a 15% off coupon for $2.00 but it saved me a few hundred bucks.

If there is any interest i will write up a review on the laptop. Let me know if anyone wants it and what kind of info they want. ie benchmarks, usability etc...
