6000 vs 9300

Question

Just got my 9300 with the WXGA+ screen. Not impressed.  I didn't like the WUXGA true life because of the glare issue. Stopped at a Dell kiose and the rep said I should get the 6000 with Ultra Sharp WSXGA+ screen. He said it is an amazingly shrap screen. If I order the 6000 with the same components as my 9300 will I be happy or dissapointed. I am not a gamer (I'm in my 50's), I'll be using it mostly for Web browsing, e-mailing, Microsoft Office programs,  digital editing and sometimes video viewing. Any suggestions here will be appreciated.   Jules

Well first off,,,it is kind of hard to compare the 6000 vs the 9300,,,,it is like driving a corvette,,,and then hoping in a for Honda,,, the 9300 is the new flagship so to say,,,,as the 6000 is what it is.>>>> stay with the race horse.....

The core components of both systems are very similar. If you do not need the 17' display or high-end video cards, the 6000 is a perfectly serviceable choice.

Don't listen to powderoo. He really has no idea what he is talking about, and really needs to stop giving advice. The only difference between the 9300, and the 6000 is the screen size and video card choices. Since you don't have any use for the higher end Geforce video, you are much better off with the 6000. It will save you money also.

Tim,,,that is kinda unfair,,,the poster was asking for opinions,,,I have one,,,If you are going to spend money on a laptop...why not get one of the new line ups,,,that has great features, with plenty of room for all kinds of upgrades.....and also,,,If you order one with a dell coupon,,you can save another $800 off......why not get the corvette...I did not imply anything is wrong with the 6000. I myself had to make a similar choice, as it is a fine machine,,but simply put the 9300 is better, and to say the only difference between them is 17 screen and a highend video card, is really insulting to all the fine dell IT people that designed and came up with the new inspiron 9300
