Very nice laptop, I'm considering buying one myself. Here in NZ we can still get the inspiron 8200 (the previous model with 15" screen, geforce4 go mx440, and two optical drives)

I see the 8200 has a big advantage in having a fixed dvd/cd-rw drive, as well as a removable bay, but the 8500 has a much better graphics card, is thinner and lighter.

so hard to choose.
