    I considered the xps for a while and ended up with this Sony (check sig). Great choice and I'm sure you'll have no regrets.

    I can tell you that I got the same thing, minus the DVD burner, the A/V package (camera/earbuds/antenna) and the Audigy software, but plus a 2 year warranty with Complete Care accidental damage protection, for $1320.00 (including tax and shipping).

    $1320.00 here too, including tax & shipping. If it wasn't for the single kiosk we have here Jersey, it would've been $1248.00 shipped. If there's a kiosk in your state, you get taxed.

    How much of video ram does the GeForce Go 7400 on this laptop comes equipped with? I'm considering getting one if it's more than 64MB.

    Just shy of $1370.

    It has 64MB of VRAM and the other 192MB is robbed from system ram. If you want a small laptop w/a 7400 and more VRAM try the Asus W7J or a Sony SZ, both of which are 13.3" lappies and as far as I know have 128MB VRAM. I didn't go with the SZ because I'm a cheap bastard, and I didn't go with an W7J because it has 512MB of its ram soldered onto the motherboard.

    The M1210 does not meet your requirements. It's 64 meg dedicated, 192vram.

    I thought nvidia's turbo cache was so good that the card is the same as if it had 256mb vram? So really it dosent matter that much, unless if your trying to get every mb out of your system ram, thats why I ordered mine with 2gb, so I dont have to worry about the 192mb loss.
