    I am planning on ordering the Dell 6000.

    I would appreciate advice or opinions on:

    1. 760 2.0 GHz vs. 750 1.86 GHz Processor (760 is $200 more)

    2. WSXGA+ or WUXGA screen (WUXGA is $50 more)

    Thanks,

    Mike

    go with the 750 1.86 GHZ because you wont see that much a difference between the 1.86 and 2.0ghz. Also go with the WUXGA screen, i heard its brighter than the WSXGA+ when its running on batteries.

    WUXGA is worth it. You can decrease the resolution if you find the text to be too small.

    The incremental increase in processor speed is not worth the premium.
