Being plain, it's open for a custom design... :) 5 USB connectors... the video card is ok, as well. And you're a geek, not a gamer. :) I dunno, the Inspiron has better screen res.

Also look at HP for similar specs, chances are the price is lower. If you prefer AMD, then HP has a broader choice. Go for the XPS, currently the best.
