    Hello, I am currently having the following Dell M60 built and I am really hoping for any advice/feedback on the following systems specs and if you see anything that you would suggest I do differently! I will be primarily using the laptop for business apps, digital and photo editing.

    Also, would you recommend the m60 or an inspirion xps (also fully loaded??)??

    Thank you very much! I have read so many threads and value your guys' opinion, esp Brian and Nespo!

    Dell is not the cheapest place to buy memory. You may wish to instead get the min and buy your memory from crucial for a lot cheaper.
