Dell is great for laptops as you don't need to really upgrade them.

Dell's PCs however use all proprietary parts and hence why I had to build a new computer when I wanted to upgrade.

Really!? I didn't know that. Yikes! Good job I didn't buy that Dell that I was going to then! Saved by my new love of nForce4 images/smilies/tongue.gif

Oh and I'd recommend the Dell Inspiron XPS if you're wanting a desktop replacement Dell. But nonetheless, it still won't be as good as one of the machines that I linked to earlier. I use the Dell Inspiron 9100 and I must say that I really don't have many complaints at all about that laptop, it's a quiet runner and it performs really well and I'm definately not going to complain about the 1920x1200 resolution 8) It's basically the low end version of the XPS (same chassis and everything). If you're gonna get a Dell though, make sure you get the 256Mb Mobility Radeon 9800.

What's the difference in weight of the carbon hood compared to the stock hood.

You should consider the boot too, is there such thing as lighter glass?? I think glass in the bootlid causes most of the weight...
