tuddy 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2005 steve, as said in other topics, it depends what you are going to use it for?If your lookiing for more space for HDD, then the Dell 9900 would work.But comes back to the fact that, why pay for something you won't use? For graphics and web design then it depends really on how much you create and often you use it.Really, comes down to your needs!, Portability, Power, Speed, Connectivity? etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2005 Thanks alot and it looks like I will be getting the 700m because of its lightness, its speed, and it probably is the btter choice because I will not be programming at all. Jus tplainly writing scripts, designing images, and working on flash. Thanks for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noonster22 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2005 Dell Inspirion 9900 is a work of magic, but it is does carry a burden.Introduction the Dell Inspirion 700m. Mobile. Compact. Sleek.One major factor that the Dell Inspirion 700m has that the 9900 doesn't have is a glossy screen. Most laptops, LCD screens, etc. have a dull look. If you want that glassly looking screen, then you want the Dell Inspirion 700m...If the wide-screen of the 9900 is what is pulling you from the 700m, don't.Although it is nice to have a wide-native screen, its cons outweigh its pros. For a laptop, a thin and light is a definite. If you want a larger screen when you are at home, you can always buy a LCD Panel for very cheap these days.When you are lugging around a laptop, you will regret you got the 9900, for its weight alone. It is a hunky beast, and not suitable to mobility.The lighter the better.Esp. If you are going to use it in college. You will need mobility. You will need low-power usage, to the sacrifice of screen size.The Dell Inspirion 700m fits perfectly as a notebook would. It is small, compact, yet meanwhile durable.At the price point you have quoted, it can be twice as cheap.If you type in Dell Coupons in Google Keyword Search, you will see a list of coupons...SAVE $600 on select Inspiron? notebook purchases $1499 or more (before tax and shipping)!

colinhart 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2005 Dell is a solid make, the wide screen is great for DVD's ect.. but some programes look very strange on a wide screen monitor. Which ever one you buy remember lots of ram is important for laptops, high speed processor, and Dell offer ver good onsite engineer support. Well worth the money, nothing worse than having to send your laptop back to Dell to be fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
