It's about the best compromise you'll come across that won't cost you 
$3000+.

I have the P105-S9312 which is the previous version, the only difference 
being a Core Duo CPU instead of a Core 2 Duo... about a 2% increase in speed 
with the Core 2 Duo.

They are very nice machines.... they are even nicer once you get all the 
spurious 'stuff' off them and do a clean install of Windows XP.
