It's actually for my girlfriend...she of course wants the tiniest cutest laptop she can get... Personally I'd have gone with the 9300 17" WUXGA [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Great, that's what I wanted to hear [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Can you get a bigger display for it somehow?

Anyone getting the 9300? It has a 17 inch display...what kind of res does this get? Why are people opting for the 6000 instead when the 9300 has a better display?

Because if you get a 9300 with all the trimmings, it is going to run you $2000+. There are always Dell Coupons available for $750 off Inspirons $1999 or more. Thus, the deal is really only exceptional if you are going to buy one of the "cheaper" models.

Well, If I get the 6000...what display should I get? What resolution options do the three different options have (WXGA, WSXGA, WUXGA)?

I don't know that the display on the 9300 is any "better". It's just bigger. The 9300 is a monster. It is not something that you would want to be lugging around with you very often. That baby is made to sit on your desk and stay there. The 6000 seems like a decent size that will still be transportable. It will be my choice (a WUXGA one) when I pick up a new laptop this fall.

my 2 cents

I 2nd what busguy says... the 9300 is a beast while the 6000 will travel well. The 9300 has a 17 inch monitor while the 6000 has a 15.4. If you get the WUXGA Display for either monitor it will have a resolution of 1920 x 1200 which is plenty good for 4 tabling. Its really a trade off... do you want the bigger monitor or do you want a computer that will travel better... there are a few other differences also but these really wont effect you if the primary purpose of the computer is poker....

Yeah I ordered the 9300 this morning, but I'm wondering if I should have got the smaller one. I'm terrible at making decisions. Does anyone know if they will let me switch my coupon over if I call them and tell them I want to switch to the smaller one?

Well, I can't help you make better decisions, but I have seen both the 9300 and the 6000, and I will be purchasing the souped-up 9300 when I can take $1500 out of my bankroll. In my eyes, you made the right choice.
