Which processor did you get? Some of that stuff seems redundant in that list. All in all though that's a pretty normal price for a decent laptop. It should serve you well as long as you don't plan on doing much gaming/high end graphic work.

He's stuck in 1984, be nice to him.

No i am stuck with you mom she wont leave me alone after we hooked up last weekend. Tell her im not interested ok thanks LOL. 1984 is when i was born.

You know that's weird, I never noticed that centrino line in there. I verified on the pone w/ the indian name "Eric" around 5:00.

I would assume it is the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7700 (2.4GHz/800MHzFSB, 4M L2 Cache) because that is what I ordered.

I bought this machine because I do play games......like CS, TF, etc.

The machine I'm using now is a 2 gig 512 RAM ancient desktop which I paid over 2 grand for in 2002. I figured it was time for an upgrade.

But now that you mention that I will make sure I didn't some Centrino bullshit when I paid for something else....

I was born in '84 too, no excuses

Apparently you got so excited coming up with that zinger above that you rushed it a bit. Luckily for you there is a edit option.

 

[SaladFork]

Good with that rebate, i'm not a fan of Dell. You should have gotten the Lenovo X61 IMO.

This review marked it pretty well as far as gaming goes.....

It wasn't a rebate, it was coupon off the final price, immediate.....

Dual core is better then Centrino, it's faster and uses less power. Good chip... Scatch my X61 post, is not a gaming machine.

Yeah a new laptop would be better than a 6 yr old pc for gaming. You bought the laptop more for convenience though, correct? A laptop for a main gaming machine limits your options to customize for future upgrades.

Yep, you got it. I was customizing a quad core desktop for $300 less but I travel once a month or so to visit family and friends, and it would be damn nice to have a decent laptop to bring with me.

I stay in hotels a lot and always miss having a machine that can take advantage of the free wireless....

I got a reconditioned IBM Thinkpad T42, 15" screen, Centrino 1.7G, 40G HDD, XP Pro, $525 from the IBM Pre-Owned Outlet.

My bad a typo. Sorry if i affened you puddlemonkey.

 

[Razorguns]

it's okay.

but personally i like Toshiba. Mine is kicking ass. It even has Vista, and is stable as can be. I'm even running Adobe Production Premium on it.

[chewyxrage]

Mine will have Vista as well, I'm a bit nervous about that - I think with two 2.4 gig processors and 3 gig DDR2 RAM I should be straight....

That's a good price for that but doesn't even compare to what I just purchased.....

Yeah it's dated, but it does what I need.

And I'm getting over six hours use on each battery charge.

*orgasm*

Just got this thing today.

I'm currently installing about 8 games at the same time to test this bitch out!


Awesome build/ship time, I got it 10 days before it was supposed to ship.....
