I was willing to pay the extra $$, but I didn't want to sacrifice half the disk space AND pay an additional $500 unless it was really going to be worth it.

Probably will. Are there ones that can stay "stuck" to the bottom of the laptop so they can be carried around with the laptop?

I know some people have had problems before, but I've owned 2 Dell computers and loved them both, which is why I ordered another one.
No need to be hostile though, I'm not trying to start a debate... just wanted to know how much more it would have cost to get a MacBook Pro instead. I knew it would be more expensive, but didn't know whether it would be $400 more or $1000 more.

Interesting.. I definitely work almost exclusively with CS3 at the moment, gonna upgrade to CS5 on the new computer. However, I'm pretty sure Windows 7 Home Premium is 64 bit by default....?
