Default Is this a nice laptop?

The Dell Online Store: Build Your System
Since it comes with vista, can I just use my Dell xp disk that came with my desktop and use the key that's on the case?
And does this look ugly to you guys?
Should I find a different laptop? If so, any suggestions?

yeah...but, hey, it's like impossible to build your own laptop. Dell seemed like the best deal to me.

Inspirons have very low build quality. Consider a Latitude, or a different manufacturer.

I was looking at some other nice looking laptops from other manufacturers and they seemed to be too heavy. I was looking at the inspiron 1520 as my other choice.
