Negiotiated with the Dell sales girl...

It cant be under 60k for sure...because...the warranty itself costs more than 12k, and when I customize it on the Dell website with the above config...its coming up to 98k incl taxes and she offered me 15% discount with the bluetooth headset free.

Is there any other laptop comparable to xps m1330?

Sony Vaio SZ is a dream machine but too expensive :(

I saw the Dv3000 from HP, but its kinda thick and doesnt even look good when compared to Vaio SZ or XPS...

In the zone
its not dell its sony vaio

And why the hell are you posting it here in a Dell thread? It is a 17" laptop which is irrelevant to the buyer because he is looking for an ultra portable and not a desktop replacement. Are you here just to promote your sales?
