I am looking for an ultraportable (i.e.: 13.3") laptop with a Centrino 2 processor running at 1066fsb with 1066 DDR3 RAM. Long story short:

The Lenova U330 looks great and is at a good price point, but I can't deal with the glossy screen (it is esentially a mirror).

The Dell E4300 looks great, but it is about twice the price of what its worth (~$2,800 well equipped).

What else is there, other than waiting a few months for the price of the Dell to come down? Any recommendations?

between the two for DDR3 and a NV9300GS your paying $400 more, that doesnt make sense to me... esp if you wont be gaming at all the 9300 isnt that great and is on par with the 4500HD.

The Sony's do look nice...just tough to justify their cost when the Lenova offers Centrino 2 and DDR3 for about $1,000.

I probably won't be gaming, so I may need to settle for DDR2.
