Not bad, execept for the hardware you have I would expect the processor to be a bit faster then that, and 3Gb seems a bit much, although again that could help make up for the lack of a fast processor though.

Thats looks great. No a processor over 2.0GHz for a laptop is over kill. Everything looks great, so what do you plan to use this laptop for eg. gaming, achitexture or something.

It looks nice!
You should get XP instead of vista, because there are LOTS of things vista can't run. SP3 will soon come out for XP, so it will be even better |

QUOTE(kobra500 @ Apr 18 2008, 05:41 PM)  Saint what speed would you suggest? 2.4ghtz??? If you find something in that range you be fine and well off with a speedy computer. Like this one for an example and the only thing really wrong with it is the smaller hard drive the one you have posted here. Of course, if you want to feel really special, go drop about $5000 on a alienware notebook and you can push the processor to 2.8ghz.

Everything looks great, so what do you plan to use this laptop for eg. gaming, achitexture or something. Unless you seen the hardware a alienware notebook has then maybe, but my XPS is at 1.84Ghz and it feels a bit sluggish. Even though this computer is like 2 year out dated, but pushing a notebook to 3.0ghz+ is over kill as it will most like blow the computer right up. |

2.8 is too much, if you want those speeds, go buy a desktop. 3.0 is not overkill, it is killing the overkill
 my laptop is also 1.8 and it feels fine, unless I make it run 1000 things  I guess 2 is fine but above is really overkill because if you want power, just go buy a desktop for quarter the price.

Nice, I think that its a good buy for the price. Try searching for coupons, you save a few hundred bucks with them. Dell has lots of promotions and coupons. Quad cores will be introduced in laptops by third quarter this year, which means that you can save a few hundred dollars more when they start using them. So if you dont really need a laptop urgently then I suggest you wait a little bit.
