But then again, I also switched to Linux and would need to change out the hard drive for a SSD.

But other than those two things, this computer is close to what I am looking for.]]>Apr 15th 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/
New, High quality LCD monitors now match CRT's for available color gamut. One of the best graphics CRT's on the market was the NEC-Mitsubishi RDF225WG. it offered 93.3% of the NTSC color gamut.

The newer Dell 2407WFP-HC LCD offers 92% of the NTSC colors; an imperceptible difference in quality.

While your claim that 'the typical' LCD doesn't come close (@72%), is true - there are now high quality LCD's that give just as good colors as the best CRT monitor. Its the market that's steering away from the large, heavy CRT's, not the industry.]]>Apr 15th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/
I upgraded a Viewsonic aperture grille CRT to a Dell 2005fpw and the CRT looks like ass in comparison. A good S-IPS monitor beats a good aperture grille CRT hand down, there may be super photo-lab quality CRT's in the thousands of dollars that are better but LCD's are the big winner for anything under $1000. TN lcd's only look worse than aperture grille CRT's, S-IPS easily has them beat in every area except framerate.]]>Apr 15th 2008 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/Apr 15th 2008 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/

I really wish they would've added another fan for the gpu though, or put a larger fan on the bottom. Basically, the cooling system is the only thing that's really gotten to me thus far.
Oh, and no back usb ports & power. Power is on side and so are usb ports, so when you plug it in, and have a mouse attached (that isn't bluetooth) and you have it on your lap while playing games, you have two things sticking out the side (or sides if you put one on each). With games in mind, if you try to arrange the machine on your legs so the fan is free and clear, you'll be pressing on the usb & power plugs, or you'll have to do the one leg balancing act.

This isn't that much different than most laptops though, and it's still not as loud as a macbook pro.

As for the mouse, pickup the logitech vx micro, the dongle is tiny and has very little footprint.

ps, I can play crysis on this thing with all the graphics cranked up but I can also cook an steak on it when doing so, cooling is a major disappointment.]]>Apr 15th 2008 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/Apr 15th 2008 5:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/dells-vostro-1310-1510-and-1710-small-business-laptops-redefi/
