it would mostly be used for home office and traveling
Then remember that the bigger the screen, the heavier the load to carry. Also, the bigger the screen, the poorer the fit on the airline tray. I'd recommend a 15" screen max size.
Definately the E1505. Dont get the integrated graphics card you will regret that choice later. Get the 9 cell battery for traveling it has a longer battery life

I like it fine. The screen is better then my previous laptop. XGA 15" on Inspiron 5100. It is also much lighter in weight. I do wish I would have gotten the 9 cell battery, but I will just buy that when this on has run its course. I have not tested the graphics yet or the burner. I was concerned about the wireless nic, but it has worked fine with my Linksys router. The only problem I have encountered is I have not been able to load Zone Alarm Pro on this unit. It crashes everytime, but it is an older version 5.1 and 6.5 is out now. I previously ran ZA Pro/Norton Premeir/Win XP SP2 Home without issue.

I just ordered a 1505 with integrated graphics card, I only plan on using MS office,watching DVD's, some photo editing using photoshop elements and of course using the internet. Will this graphics card be ok for these things?
