Dude, I'm getting a Dell

Ordered a Dell Studio XPS 13 today ($1200, shipped). My last laptop was a Dell 600m, which did yeoman service for several years. It went through two hard drives and a mobo upgrade before finally overheating itself into a connectionless stupor.

Laptop with no wireless = doorstop, and really. At some point you just gotta let go.

I considered getting a MacBook but my primary use for the machine is Windows-based game development, which frankly has been kind of a pain in the butt on my first generation MacBook. The one-button track pad is espcially annoying on Windows.

We'll see how it goes.
