Thanks for the input.

I'm not looking for a laptop capable of gaming (I'll be building a desktop for that in a few months) - for the most part I just want to put a decent amount of cash into a computer that won't be completely worthless a few years from now. I want it to be very multimedia friendly and capable of handling multiple tasks like burning a few cds and surfing at the same time or downloading a few albums while watching a movie (thus the dual core)...the weight is only about 5.4 lbs and the 12 cell battery promises pretty impressive untethered operation time.

I checked out a few Dell laptops and couldn't find a model with impressive enough sounding speakers at no extra cost and a nice looking design - - other than the XPS series which is more expensive than my budget allows.
