I saw this behemoth and the beautiful and inspiring image of the MacBooks was banished forever in my mind. I read the tech specs and the Dell XPSes seem like the P3s of yesteryear. Intel Core 2 Quad, 2.0GHz 1GB GDDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M dedicated graphics card 17-inch Wide XGA+ 1440 x 900 - Beyond HD (900p) Display 4GB 1333MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM I think I am in love. http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop-alien…
