havent had a machine for a good 2 years now ... getting tired of just having my work laptop. this a decent machine for the price, no?

 

Its a good cheap one too! We bought a similar one for Mar's grandpa. Works great and does the job. It's not a graphics poewhouse, but unless you absolutely need it, it will do most anything you need it to pretty well. Good choice.

 

yea its going to be music, movies, internet with light photoshop use probably.

i still have my work laptop which i do all my design stuff on and i'm expecting to be able to upgrade that to a new W series lenovo in the next 6 or 7 months

 

Should be more than adequate. If you're gonna mob around with it, I'd reccomend an extended battery though

 

i prefer a more powerful video card and willing to pay the price in cost, heat, shortened battery life. also i like above average lcd for laptops but that's just me.

not bad for the sub $500 price.

 

yea i'm gonna get a 9 cell through work prolly ... that way i dont have to pay the upgrade

and i would have liked to have the ATI mobility card but i wanted to stay under $500

 

i want one


did you just order it online through dell or some other company site? looks like a good pick-up

 

used the outlet center

was a new order that got cancelled

build the same thing on the regular dell site and its like 699 after rebate

 

good shit!

Looks pretty good for under $500. Should treat you great for what you want it for.
