Comment on "MacBook Pro vs Dell E1705 Laptop"
by christopher baus — Mar 20
I just ordered the e1705 with the $750 off coupon. I got the upgrade monitor, x1400 ATI video card (which is in stock), 2ghz cpu, and upgrade battery for $1275.

After market I added 2gigs of 667mhz RAM and Seagate 7200 RPM 100gig drive for $400 from newegg.

So for <$1700 I bought a compile ripping monster of a laptop with an extra 60gig harddrive. Although I do wish I could get more RAM.

I considered the MacBook, but unfortunately my job dictates that I run Windows and Linux. If VMWare could get a out OS X version I might have considered the MacBook more seriously.

In the meantime well the mac might be sexier, I think the performance of the dell at the given price is going to be tough to beat.
