Hi Halim,
Yes, I had a look at that. If money was no object then I'd definitely
consider going for it. Apparently it's got two graphics cards for parallel
output or something like that... don't know how that works but thought
that there may be a possibility of encountering compatibility issues.
I think I've decided to go for the XPS 1710 - I can spend the difference
in upgrading various components like the HDD etc.
Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. Really helpful. :)
All the best
Andy
