Re: try this link

The Dell is 23% heavier, but has a larger screen.

Light weight is what makes a notebook a premium notebook,so we should really be comparing the averatec to a 4.3lb Dell, but since that Dell would cost much, much, more, we'll make WBMW happy and "cheat" in favor of Dell. Note that, since Dell is stuck with only Intel processors, if you want a sub 5 pound notebook, you're stuck with a 933mhz CPU and have to drag around an external CD drive. But that's what happens when you limit yourself to an inferior supplier.

Having pointed that out, let's try WBMW's link:

 
               WBMW's Dell             Gollem's Averatec 
 Price:         $1,199 (-$100 rebate)  $1,025

 Above is standard, now we even things out: 
  
 Add DVD/CD-RW  $169                   Included 
 40GB HD        $119                   Included 
 256meg DDR      $50                   Included 
 Extra Bat    Included                   $129 
  
 Total:       $1,537 (-$100 rebate)    $1,154

Having to drag around a heavier notebook, and pay for the privelege:

Priceless!!!!
