Dell Inspiron™ 1420 Laptop

2GB DDR2
160GB
8400 GS 128Dedicated DDR3

Worth it?
Or should i go for Inspiron 1520 with 8600GT instead? But the price increase quite alot

wat is the best laptop i can get within 2k budget?

go for inspiron 1520....graphic card is important...choose the least one for hdd and ram...u can upgrade it urself much cheaper outside...therefore pc fair coming soon...

Im always wondering actually how am i suppose to upgrade the ram or hdd or any hardware of lappie myself? Open it up myself or wat? Will that void warranty?
Anyway, can i call up Dell for the inspiron 1420/1520 to configure something i cant be done online? Say like 1520 with 1gb ram or 1420 with 8600GT? lol

BenQ S41
T7100
1GB
8600GS

or

Inspiron1420
T7250
2GB
8400GS

or

Inspiron1520
T7250
2GB
8600GT

?

I know inspiron1520 is the best but its expensive == where S41 is quite cheap for a notebook which got 8600

i heard that for gaming Dell is better compared to other brands...true??

It would be nice if you quote your sources

i am planning to buy a new CHEAP laptop. budget is <rm2k.
the one that caught my eye is this, FUJITSU ESPRIMO(tm) MOBILE V5535. current price is rm1999. here is the link to the specs --> specs

any comments on this particular model? i will be using it for regular stuff: internet, college work, multimedia (movies and music) and light gaming. no heavy designing etc.

so do you think this model represents best value for money? or if you know of any, please recommend me other notebooks in the sub 2k price range which you think is better. thanks

what do u mean?
btw..does anybody here knows what is the cheapest price i can get for the new G15 logitech keyboard? the orange 1?

is fujitsu laptop good? well certainly FUJITSU ESPRIMO(tm) MOBILE V5535 is the cheapest and the best spec i hv ever seen until now..
Question:
can it support certain game like Oblivion, FIFA, STALKER?
howabout the servise? is it as good as DELL?
the quality? is it realiable like DELL?

hey everyone.
i'm looking at the dell inspiron 1420

with intel core 2 duo 1.66Ghz
2G RAM
160GB hard disk
NVidea GEforce 128MB

i'm just curious, is 1.66 gHz too little? or should i upgrade it to 2.0ghz?
i will be using the computer for basic stuff, surfing the net, document my college stuffs and maybe a few games.
thank you!

or maybe you can recommend me other laptops that has specs close to the above? thanks. is dell good btw?

my budget is around 2000 to 3000 bucks.

i'm looking for a laptop. im gonna use it mostly to browse internet, download stuff, listen to songs and watch DVD. and play games of course. can anyone recommend a laptop with 2GB RAM, 250GB ROM and a good graphic card? and is there any specific brand i shud get or avoid? thanks guys

i need a Laptop

Budget: 3k - 3.5k

purpose(i'll arrange it according to priority of the pupose): i. web surfing, chatting
ii. assignment(college works)
iii. light gaming

Monitor size: prefer 15" wide, 14" wide also can, but must wide screen

Purchase date: not yet fixed, maybe will get it next week.

Preference: Accer, must intel C2D or AMD(gt dual core?), if i can get it within my budget then a Nvidia Go will be better for me

weight: 1k - 2.8kg is fine, coz this is the weight for a normal laptop.

Other features: i. DVD burner, coz i might need to backup my assignment.
ii. bluetooth, for easier file transfer between laptop from others as well as my phone laugh.gif
iii. HDD capacities about 120GB or above, 80GB also acceptable

size: medium, not too large, standard size for a 15" wide screen is acceptable.

i think that's all lar.

i hv some questions.

wat is firewire?

is intel C2D more power saving compare to AMD brand? (i means laptop lar)

will 8400GS couple with T7250 be enough for HD watching? Because I mostly watched movies/animes on HDs. Mainly on 720p but occasionally on 1080p. So I need to make sure I can still watch those movies/anime on my laptop. Gaming is not off importance as the only thing I played these days is CS.

No problem. I have a few fansubbed anime episodes in HD format. What you need is a widescreen LCD like WXGA and a capable graphics card. But, please bear in mind: it is not a real HD experience, ok.
