Good, chunky build and large screen. Large keypad and 4 usb ports. The dell is fairly fast considering the amount of applications and files I have acquired in 11 months ownership, and I also use it for multimedia [video editing and animation] which is fairly processor intensive. The hard drive is a generous size and is still only 25% full inspite of all the artwork I create, applications rairly hang and with average "housekeeping" the speed of commands remains quick. The dell is quite heavy as it is a large laptop, and the manufacturers claims of robustness are well founded, [this accounts for the weight.] Firewire connection available for attaching video camera and dvd tray for cd/dvd burning. Touchpad for navigation allows for use without mouse. To summarise, I would say this model is well worth the money I paid as it is quick and well made compared to many more expensive laptops. Portability is not really a factor for the dell as it is fairly weighty, but not prohibitive for carrying. Should be bundled with Vista home premium which has improved file search capabilities and internet security.
