I’m not gonna type up all the specs (click the link, and look at them yourselves), but here are a few:

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
Screen: 15.4″, Xbrite-ECO technology
Proccesor: 1.74 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor T2450
Cache: L2: 2MB
System Bus: 533 MHz.
RAM: 1GB
Hard Drive: 120 GB (5400 RPM)
Graphics/Video Card: Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Price: $649.99 (after $100 rebate)

#2:
(Customized Dell Vostro 1500)

Processor: Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo Processor T7700 (1.66GHz,2MB L2 Cache,800MHz FSB)
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
Screen: 15.4″ Widescreen XGA display with TrueLifeTM
Graphics Card: Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
RAM: 2 GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667 MHz
Hard Drive: 120 GB at 5400 RPM
Writes DVD’s and CD’s
Battery: 9-cell 85WHr Li-Ion Battery (Average life 5-8 hours)
Width: 14.2″
Height:1.65″
Depth:10.59″
Weight: 6.33 lbs
Built-in 2.0 Megapixel Webcam
Price: $879.99
I know both of them don’t have top of the line hard drives, but I’m not concerned about that. For $100, I can get a 500GB (7200RPM) external hard drive. Also, both of them have integrated/shared video memory. I could upgrade the Dell to a 256MB dedicated memory, but it will cost me another $199. But I’m not really worried about the graphics card that much. I’m not much into PC gaming — I prefer to play on a console.

At the moment, I’m kinda leaning toward the Vostro, but the $200 price difference is what’s making this a tough decision.
