    I have the E6750 and love it. For Photoshop, upgrade to a 64-bit operating system so you can utilize that full 4GB of RAM.

    Is the system drive >7,200RPM?

    Other than that, the only downside is that it is a Dell. :19:
    Can't beat the price though.

    I had to call into tech support last night (didn't know you had to turn on the SATA ports in the BIOS) and I can say this much for Dell - it was by far the best Tech Support experience I've ever had with any product. Talked to different people - both Americans - who helped me. I know it wasn't a huge issue, but from dialing to hangup was less than 5 minutes, both guys were friendly and seemed to enjoy helping. That's worth a lot.

    the fact that I had to call tech support stems from the fact that I bought aftermarket accesories. I wouldn't have called Apple tech support because I couldn't have done that with a Mac.

    Oh, and I would've paid 3 times the price.
