You once said you wanted a really big one, right?

I saw a larger 17" screen LG at Hi-Mart that was about the same price. It had the same card in a 256meg version. Looked pretty good.

Get the Vostro 1500. It's cheaper and much more sturdy. Keep in mind that it's heavy in exchange for the sturdiness. The upgrades on the graphic card and processor is pretty good as well.

I have a new 1520 and have quite enjoyed its performance although I do have one gripe. The integrated webcam keeps uninstalling itself. I have reinstalled it and it works for a day or two then gone again. Sometimes it doesn't reappear until I run the diagnostics. The 1520 is not a small unit, particularly with bigger battery but is still quite portable.
