I could just be being biased, but from my experience if you're getting a laptop do not go with dell. Good ones may exist, but out of the 40 people I know who have had them always the same problems come about. After about a year the adapter and HDD dies. About 6 months later it's so slow you can't really use it. Some people do have better luck with them, but my friend is on his 4th XPS 17. He hasn't switched yet because it's still covered... with the 1 year warranty that is... That's my only input other than I am a fan of Toshiba now, they're not the fastest by any means but reliability so far is a big thing for me with this laptop.
