If you're not gaming, it looks great.

 

[SHAWN]

eh I use it for work. Internet, Remoting into systems, email, remote support. It plays current games at decent settings smooth enough for me

Good laptop and I am guessing it lasts about 3-4 hours if you turn off wireless and brightness????

 

[SHAWN]

Yup !!

Just curious, why did you say, "if you're not gaming, looks great". Isnt that a decent gaming platform as far as laptops go? Has a dedicated card, 2 gigs of ram, good processor.

I was just thinking of the 8400GS being a very low end card. But if he says that it plays current games at decent settings, that's great too.

You coulda picked up the Vostro with the same specs ~$800 I think... But the inspiron is still decent.

Yeah a Vostro with a slightly faster cpu and 8600 is a little less but that was a month ago when I checked.
