    search around the reviews and you will find an xps m1710 on the site

    the difference between red and black is just the cover

    from Charles Jefferies and Andrew Baxter's review, the fan was extremely quiet though it the lappy does get hot

    screen brightness is good from his review and it would probably run you into the 2000-3000+ range

    Wonderful laptop, brightest I've seen, though the screen is a *little* bit unevenly lit (nothing I see when gaming, though).

    Of course, when playing Oblivion at full resolution the fans go mad (but still sound less than one would expect). In everyday usage, I forget the fans completely.
