NEW LAPTOP

It's a Dell Studio XPS 16¹ and ahhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's so shiny and the screen is so big and the HD is so beefy and the RAM is so plentiful and it's loaded with Vista which makes me crazy but come the weekend I am installing the Windows 7 RC how can I wait what will I install first WHAT WILL I CALL IT OH GOD PLEASURE OVERLOAD

Dell laptops are freaking troopers, and I can now say from personal experience that you can literally use them until they fall apart - and then some. Also: customisation potential.
