After hours of research and more hours of research, I was debating many different machines. I am a filmmaker and editor and I needed something big and fast for HD crunching.
I have been using a desktop I built for about [...] bucks that was superbad, but I have been forced to go mobile, editing on set. For those who care, I use Vegas and Avid Media Composer, even if this doesn’t have a Nvidia card.
I don’t use Apple because I have had several problems in the past.
I bought this computer after getting a little tipsy and pushing the one-click button. Oops.
I have had this now for two days, it’s nice I guess. Fast and big. I mean, BIG, really it is. And the i7 is fast at churning out some tough files. It does get really f’n hot and the mouse pad sticks but then again I have been using desktops for a while so that might not matter yet.
Though I’ve read a bunch of horror stories on Dells and their service track, hopefully no problems. My last lappy was a HP that blew after 11 months, was replaced, then another 6 months so…
I will update this at a later date.

I bought mine about 11 months ago.
First, within the first few days my keys began popping off.(.what a cheap keyboard)
Later I discovered that the battery is not charging..apparently a very common problem with several laptops.
Ran a bios check, and the laptop is not detecting a power supply (its brand NEW!!!!!)
I also have dual boot with ubuntu 9.04. Worked great at first, but now when I boot, the pad sometimes doesn’t work.
I need to boot several times before it will “catch”
I own several inspirons and have never had problems with those, but the studio has completely lost me as a customer
of Dell…if they want to build junk, let them sell it to some other sucker.
back to Sony I guess……
