Getting A New Laptop

I'm thinking about getting the Dell XPS M1530, which is just like the popular XPS but with a 15.4 screen rather than 13.3

I want to use it for general everyday use, and run programs like Dreamweaver, Photoshop and stuff like that. Although I think they are probably going to be the biggest programs that I will be using on a regular basis. Not much of a gamer so I probably wont be playing any games on it really. Here are the general specs that I'm going to go for...

OS: Vista Home
Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2-cache)
Memory: 2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
Hard Drive: 250GB
Video Card: NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 8600M GT with 256MB dedicated graphic memory

Price: £729

More Specs

Will this run okay, or will it be as slow as shit? My main worries are about using Vista. I wanted to stick with XP but Dell don't allow you to choose between the two anymore. So any thoughts or recommendations or whatever?

On a side note, I am not circLE. I have a budget of about £750, so this is right in the range of laptops that I would look to get and can't really afford much more.

I think you mean cIRca

lol.

What I would do is buy a laptop with a videocard that supports Hackintosh like mine and just use MAC on your PC.

The way I have mine setup is, I have Dual Boot. Vista and Leopard. It's actually really awesome and I hardly use vista anymore.

Look into it more cause mac is sexier.

I know its cIRca, but circLE is one big inside joke that only has me invloved at the moment.

That computer would work fine for what you'll be doing.

Okay got me one.

If it turns out to be shit now Wilbur, it's on your head.

Haha, I just ordered a laptop with the same specs, except for a faster hard drive and a 17" screen.
