    Hi All!
    I'm new here and I have a latitude D500 and I'm going to buy a new notebook.
    (I do some programming and web design and use local mysql and sql databases.)

    I can't make my decision between these laptops and need help.

    Latitude D505
    Latitude X1
    Latitude X300
    Inspiron 700m

    What if the budget doesn't matter?

    And yes these are the light ones from dell. But I cant choose!

    I sow some confusing reviews about X1 and X300.

    If you had enough budget which would you pick? X1, 700m, or X300?

    Well, the X1 doesn't have an integrated optical drive..and I don't think the others do either...except for teh 700m. I'll be ordering a 700m soon. I think the 700m is faster since the other ones have those ultra low voltage 1 ghz processors which don't sound too appealing. I like the glossy screen and the 700m just seems to hahve all the right features. But what i t comes down to is do you need the optical drive? WIll the x1 be a better travellign companion?
