Those 80 gb 7200 drives are ultra expensive. They just started appearing in laptops, and even the 60 gb 7200's are a lot more expensive than their 5400 counterparts.

I know this happened to Bill Gold recently, as well.

Dell really rips you off on RAM upgrades. When I was looking at laptops, it was like $800 for 1 gig of ram, vs $200something on the laptop I eventually got.

Dells which are actually meant for multimedia/gaming use have plenty of graphics card options. They're going to have a lot more than any other mainstream brand.
