Dell XPS 1330 + Mini Inspirion 9 for approx. 60K. Should I buy?

[Bandu]

Hello Dear Digit-ians,

I was looking for a lappy to gift someone.
Here in Germany, I find an offer for Dell XPS M1330 + Inspirion Mini 9 from the Dell site. Total cost around Euros 948 (approx. 60K INR, if not less).

Should I go for it? I talked to them and they can provide me these 2 pieces with English keyboard layouts and English OS.

TIA.
Bandu.

Edit:

Config for the XPS machine:
C2D T5800 @ 2.0 GHz
Vista Home Premium
MS Works 9
1 year premium support.
13.3" UltraSharp™ WXGA (1280 x 800) CCFL-Display (220 cd/m²) with TrueLife (will have to add another 30 Euros for a 300 cd/m² WXGA display. Someone please suggest if its worth the value).
3GB DDR2 667
SATA 250GB 5400 RPM (add. 15 Euros for a 120GB 7200 HDD with Free Fall Sensor)
nVidia® GeForce® 8400M GS with 128 MB.
8x DVDR+W
6 Cell batt or 9 Cell batt - my choice - without any additional price.
External 56k V.90-Modem (USB) with Cable and adapter - without any additional price.

in 1330 9 cell stands out a bit and design gets ruined so think twice before taking it
this seems to be a nice gift but do u require q mini inpisrion when u have a 13" screen lappy already.
also going for brighter screen might impact batt so think abt it.

Thanks for your suggestions, Praveen. My idea is to gift the XPS M1330 and keep the Mini 9 for myself.

So, I think, I will go for the 6 cell battery, as its for my sis, who won't need that extra weight and ruin from the 9 cell battery. I'll also stick to the default 200 cd/m² display.
