Mine doesn't get much lugging, I've had a 17" Vostro for ages, and anything new is going to be lighter than that, i'd sooner have the extra space for lightroom /photoshop etc..

Might have to hold off the purchase for a while until Dell get back on form maybe?

Installed one in a mate's comp a month or so back, the performance difference is noticeable over my 3Gbs drives.

Crucial M4 seems to be a very well thought of drive , reliability seems to be up there with the best.

Yep but much slower than the others I posted though

I'm considering still going for the Dell and sending it back if I don't like it, I can't find anything that give me the specs I want for a similar price

Or I'll give up on the whole idea for a while and and stick with what I have, but might still go for a new HD for this one though
