Dell 8600 vs. Gateway M350S ???
Okay here goes...
Which system would you purchase if you were in the market to purchase a new laptop. I'LL be using it for the internet, Office applications, some photo editing and a very small amount of video editing. The Dell 8600: Pentium M 1.5GHz 15.4 Inch Wide Screen 512 MB DDR, 333MHz, 2 Dimms 40GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive 24X Combo DVD/CD-RW Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN 802.11b/g PCI Card 64MB NVIDIA GeForce FX (graphics card) PRICE: $1,420.99 Gateway M350S: Pentium 4 2.6 GHz with Hyper-Threading 15.1 Inch Screen 512 MB DDR, 333MHz, SDRM 40GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive 24X /10X/24X CD-RW and 8X DVD-ROM combination drive Integrated Wireless IEEE 802.11g mini PCI Card Integrated Intel Graphic Chipset 64MB (graphics card) PRICE: $1,100.00 What do you guys think is the better buy?

You're really comparing an apple with an orange. The Gateway competitor for
the 8600 is the 450 series, and the Dell competitor for the M350 is the Inspiron 5150. Are you looking for a cool-running long-battery life portable? Then you want the 450/8600. Are you looking for a lower-priced desktop replacement, with less consideration for weight, battery life, heat, etc.? The 5150 or M350 might fill the bill.
