Hi gents-
I was just curious if anyone could help me out about a laptop decision.
I was looking at a couple of dells at bestbuy, an inspiron and a XPS. I believe the latter is their more 'refined' model. The XPS was in a smaller size that I want, has 4g memory (versus 3 for the inspiron) and a little larger hard drive. The inspiron was also 14", versus the 13" on the XPS that I wanted. The 1lb weight savings on the XPS were another selling point.
The inspiron was $520 and the XPS was $1000. So my question is, do you guys know if the differences in the 'extras' and in the basic qualities of the XPS vs. inspiron make it worth the price difference?
Guess I'm looking for lots of people to say either "that's stupid, save $500 and go with the inspiron" or "of course, spend the money to get more quality".
