This one is expensive compared to others, is therea good reason? Is it of equal quality to the Dell L402X original?

I don't find much difference in look and feel and fitted properly with my XPS laptop. Working fine for me.

I called Dell support and they gave me the specs for my machine along with their price. I compared what I was given to the Amazon product description. It matched and Amazon was less expensive. I suggest that you do the same.

That would be a question for Amazon or Dell, glad you got a Dell and that it sill runs perfectly. I love mine too.

I have exactly same question ... on one side the screen is worth it (my boss has DELL 12'' and it's much better than 10''), on the other side battery life on NC20 is much shorter than NC10SE or N110I have such a feeling NC20 will cost $550 (based no newegg.com) and it's almost $100 more which I think is not worth it

Yeah it is.. Even the 7000Series is cheaper than the 6000!!! What is up with that!?

is this a better buy then the Pavilion dv5-1250us? I wonder why the dv5 is up for more, can someone tell me?

Hi there! I had a couple of questions like this when I was looking to buy my Dell. Finally, I had to click on contact the Seller and get the correct info for my specific computer. They get these computers from several sources and they are not all built the same even if they are the same Dell model. I hope that helps you get the right one. The Dell has worked perfectly for me so I give good marks to this Seller. Good luck to you!

I have not noticed that the colors or graphics are inferior so they must be o.k. It has actually been a good computer for my needs, fast and responsive. I use it for autocad which is pretty graphics heavy and haven't had any problems.

I don't know why it is so expensive. However, I do suggest you to stay away from this laptop, as I had lots of issues with it.

Your the only one worried about a warranty. It's too cheap to waste time worrying. Pocket change. If you want quality don't buy cheap. Buy the expensive Dell adapter if your this concerned. Mine has been working well and will out live the warranty window.

I ended up ordering mine through Dell for $1382 shipped. You just have to find one of those pesky 15% off electronics and accessories coupons!

When I bought this laptop, I am sure that it was "New". I saw several that were used or refurbished and I did not want one of them. I do not recall seeing similar 'warnings' when I bought this product. In addition, it was over $500. I specifically wanted a Windows 7 machine and they are becoming hard to find. I've heard of too many issues with Windows 8. This machine has an Intel i3 chip and I would have preferred an i5 but could not find a Win 7 & i5 machine and I did not want to order one from Dell.. I'm satisfied with the laptop. My wife has a similar laptop that is 18 months old and she has not had any problems with it. Today, Dell still has a good name and is reliable.

I have a Dell Duo. Lag isn't that bad depending on what you are used to and what you do. Scrolling is smooth 90 percent of the time in excel and IE. Yes, it is a atom, but it is a dual core atom. But yeah, the best choice is the EP121. The EP121 has these advantages over the Dell Duo. 1.)SDXC/MMC card slot 2.)lighter by 1 pound 3.)Wacom pen input 4.)CPU benchmarks about twice as fast 5.)potentially double the ram 6.)faster graphics performance 7.)HDMI for video out 8.)SSD is much quicker. I tested the EP121 at windows boot to desktop and it was 20 seconds. 9.)Reliability: the SSD will not fail because of vibration or g-forces. Hard Drive Failure is likely the #1 reason why mobile computers that have them fail. 10.)bigger screen 11.)comes with a folio case for propping it up in 3 different angles/orientations 12.)MVA screen on EP121 has much better viewing angles than the Duo screen. The Dell Duo has bad vertical viewing angles and ok horizontal viewing angles in my experiance. The problem is that in portrait(in tablet mode), your vertical viewing angles are your horizontal viewing angles and so it is hard to share with someone else in portrait 13.)thinner: .66 inch vs 1 inch 14.)larger screen:12.1 inch vs 10.1 inch 15.)physical buttons accessible in tablet mode like Ctrl-Alt-Delete/window switcher, volume rocker, virtual keyboard activator, etc 16.)strengthened glass called Gorilla Glass cons 1.)maybe about 20% less battery life(Asus quotes 3 hours and Dell quotes 4 hours). In my experience though. The Dell Duo gets around 3 hours but I might be abusing the slow processor a bit with what I do with it. them fail. 2.)No physical attached keyboard in convertible form factor 3.)Hard Drive is 64GB/32GB vs. 360GB on Dell Duo 4.)Price

I chose the Philips monitor - can't now recall the exact reasons, but I believe that it was due to slightly higher ratings and a little less cost. I'm happy with it. But, for my other office, I spent more and got an HP Envy 32 - slightly wider and the height is great.
