    I am looking for a portable laptop. I have a dell mini I hate it too small. Is there anything you would change with the configuration or is there anything coming out that I should wait that you know of. I just used it for excel, word, web, and portable. I have a desktop so I dont need a "desktop replacement"

    For you needs you probably dont need that 1gb GPU.
    That will probably make the system run hotter.
    I just ordered a Dell 1564.
    Well I bought a Dell Inspiron 1564.
    Specs:
    15.6" display
    Intel i3
    4gb RAM
    500gb HDD
    Black in color
    9 cell battery

    Clearance for $549 + free shipping + 10% bing cash back = So around $500.

    Not bad IMO.
