Hello, I am currently in the market for a Inspiron E1505. The price is right, I like how it looks, people gave it fairly decent reviews, and there are a ton of options, but that is where I am a little on the fence. Here's what i'm unsure of at the moment.
Processor: so many are available, I had originally configured it with the core 2 duo T5600, but considered stepping down to the T5500, or perhaps stepping up to the T7200, I guess the only thing stopping me from making a descision is the fact that I didn't find any benchmarks comparing the 5xxx and 7xxx series. And is the ram that Dell currently offers the best matchup?
Screen: Truelife or not, i've read good things and bad things, but I have not heard first hand which looks better, any horror stories? Light leakages?
Hard drive: This is the killer, spend an extra $150 for a 7200rpm 80gb, or go with a 5400 rpm 80gb. I've read that performance increase is not all that great in some cases, but miles ahead in other cases.
I know it's a little long but I appreciate you reading and I am wide open to any ideas, i'll be ordering tommorow so i'll be sure to let you know how it goes!!! Thank you.
