I gave details in an earlier mail. Or the Inspiron 4000? Basic model $1557, with a 14 inch screen and 128 MB RAM. If you don't want a DVD-ROM and you only want a 1 year warranty, it comes down to $1379. Not sure of the graphics card. To me, a 14 inch display makes a big difference over a 12 inch one.
