My wife has an XPS M1210 and it's a superb little machine. It's a chubby little thing but well loaded. Bargain, too.Comment

My approach is that I buy a new, medium spec machine every couple of years - they're so cheap now. I don't see the point in spending nearly 1k on a laptop that will be a low-spec machine in 3 years time. By buying a new machine from dell every couple of years, I always have an ok machine...
I'm loving my M1710, yes it's pricey and it'll be outdated in 2 years time, but currently it plays all the game that I want superbly, VS 2005 runs nicely on it too (2GB RAM), does everything that I want really.
If you don't play games yes I'd say M1710 is a bit of an overkill.Comment
