Re: what specs should I get for my new dell E1705?
DON'T GET INTEGRATED GRAPHICS. They suck, and you can't upgrade to a better card. The X1400 is a decent card, enough for poker, but the geforce 7800 is much better. Get the 9 cell battery and true life wuxga.
The extra processor speed doesn't really up the performance much as in relation to the increase in price, so 1.66 is good. Duo core is well worth it though.
ram is cheaper on newegg, hard disks are cheaper on newegg, dvd burners aren't though, so if you want it, get it now. Request a copy of the OS disks too cuz they don't include them (or didn't for me).
Backpacks or cases are cheaper from other sources than dell as well.
