So this is my 3rd thread about this, but I keep narrowing down the options for my girlfriend.
Quick review:
Wants a 17" laptop to replace her desktop at home, she does finance and will be using microsoft office a lot (especially Excel), a 10-key is important, she also wants to be able to play DVDs on a plane, and play WoW while at home. She also wants to spend sub-$1000 and would like to pick up an external mouse and keyboard for home use.
The tossup:
Which one is more professional - Vostro or Inpiron (Jet Black)
Which Vista OS would suit her better - Personal Home or Business
Some other questions:
Is a Core 2 Duo a necessary for these functions, or will the Dual Core Intel work just as well?
Whats the battery life difference between a 6-cell and a 9-cell?
For the monitor is a normal one, Truelife, Glossy, etc. that much of a difference?
