Hi all,
I've been umming and ahhing for a while now about changing my, not so old, Acer 5535 laptop and have been considering netbooks intially, but have dismissd this idea as I do use it for playing DVD's and also find with my big hands its difficult to type on smaller keyboards.
I know I'll be sacrificing some battery life by not going for a Netbook, but thats a compramise I'll have to bear.
After reading many positive things on these forums and elsewhere, I like the look of the Dell range, in particular either the Inspiron 1525 or the Xps M1530 or the slightly smaller M1330.
I'm wondering if any of you out there can tell me whether it's worth spending the extra on the Xps range? I love some of the features and look of the Xps, i.e. the very neat slot loading optical drive, amongst others.
My main use is for internet and basic work on documents and spreadsheets, while also using it for music and watching DVD's.
So lets have your thoughts and ideas as to which way you think I should go.
Thanks in advance
