This is the config I'm thinking of going for:


pctek, the reason I went for a Dell is because Asus (and Toshiba) have very few customisation options, and all models in my budget ($2000) are lacking features I want (eg discrete graphics, screen size, high end CPU etc). I have also found the ASUS models to be quite bland when it comes to styling - and I like what Dell has done with the Studio.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Dell offers outstanding value for money, while offering custom configurations and high end components.

Thoughts? :)

Absolutely - from a price and flexibility point of view Dell machines are excellent. Others will disagree with me, but the build quality is fine, and the service is fine (if you're prepared to spend an hour or so on the phone to someone in India).

764036 2009-04-12 03:28:00 Is this an option?

I reckon your choice of configuration is quite good, although how much are those accessories?

For accessories I find buying from smaller companies saves a bit of money

The accessories are $67 (bag) and $60 (mouse) through Dell, although sometimes they have an offer when you can get a bag and the $25 mouse free (I'll then upgrade to the BT mouse). I'll be waiting for that deal if I buy this :D
