57k similar to VGN-CR363, except that it has a gig more ram and bigger HDD.
BTW, I think all Dell laptops come with the 'beautiful blue dot' (licensed by IBM).
I tried to configure Dell XPS M1330 13.3" display:
config:

160GB SATA Hard Drive
Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Combination Drive with dual layer write capabilities

Should cost you around 57k. You won't be able to play that many of the latest games that need something like 9600GT. It can do all the multimedia work.
