Pretty good deal. The 500GB x2 HDD is interesting though... |
Striped together for performance. Would be better if it was 1080p screen. |
^^ agree I would expect any 17inch laptop with 1080p screen these days. Heck even some of the higer model of 15inch have 1080p screen. Personally I am so use to 1080 screens I would not go to a lower one. |

The turbo boost is a nice added bonus ;) Posted via RS Mobile |

thats all that matters! |
A lot of core i series processors have turbo boost. It's not that unique. |
That is going to be a heavy laptop, you can probably get a Asus with similar specs and cheaper. edit: i'm pretty sure you can modify on Dell to change your screen resolution to 1080 for extra $$ |
