"Great computer for frequent travelers"
Pros: Very portable, attractive, fast, powerful, with a great screen
Cons: Keyboard may be slightly small for those with big hands
Summary: I LOVE this laptop. Thanks to a collection of coupons/discounts, I got a fully-loaded 710 for less than $1,500, and so far it's been worth every penny.
I work in interactive advertising and travel quite a bit, so it was important to me to have a machine that covers all of my interactive needs, while proving portable enough for plane trips. It's all of those things.
Dell created an attractive package, too... most people comment on it, and one techie friend of mine said, "THAT's a Dell?!" The screen is also fantastic... the only issue with it so far is the keyboard. It's actually perfect for me, as I have small hands, but a friend of mine with big hands said he kept missing the period & comma keys (though he said he'd be fine with practice). And another big guy friend of mine already owns the 700 (same computer essentially) and he has no problem with it.
Highly recommended... just make sure you get a good deal... when I priced this out without the discounts, it was $2,400. I recommend trying a few configurations online and then phoning in your order... the operators seem to have access to special 10% "manager's discounts" and other ideas that can lower the price.
