Why Dell?
I was looking for a laptop for my education (Business Informatics) with a screen size between 14 "and 15". I got from my boss € 750 to get one to find out. My requirements were: - A fast processor - At least 3GB of internal memory - Hoogwardig screen with a higher resolution than 1366x768 (most 15 "laptops have this) Because I with MS. Visio work I do need a high resolution screen. - Not expensive than € 800. I spent months trying to also will be at least 4 years, go If you come to the MM or some such thing I find a good laptop. you have much choice but none of the laptops is the way I want it. This gave Dell the outcome. On the site of Dell you can determine the configuration of your laptop or desktop itself. Surprising enough, the price was also very beneficial. Initially was interested degree in a configuration with an Intel processor 9000 series. Moments later made i7 processors entrance into Dell laptops. they were once (at an additional cost of € 70) with a full HD screen. then I knew for sure, it was and it would be Dell. On the internet I could not find any preview of this laptop, and I had no experience with the quality of service from Dell, so it was a gamble for me to buy it. After I configured the laptop, the price stood at € 911 including shipping and 5% discount. Within 9 days, I received my laptop. because I got free Windows 7 through my school, I immediately requested a refund from Dell for Vista and other junk that sat on him, which I did not need. Within a week I had € 98 recovered from Dell so the price stood at € 813. Overall Rating This is a top of a laptop. Mobility can be called good battery life is decent but it is mainly the performance and screen who excel in this laptop. The sound of the speakers is very good for a laptop. Watch a movie or listen to MP3 tje is possible without using. External spekaers At maximum sound is heard. No distortion It is not comparable to regular speakers, it remains a laptop, of course. Featureset the i7 processor (in this benchmark) in combination with 500gb 7200rpm hard drive and 4GB DDR3 1333mhz memory provide fast performance.

It seems that you can order it. Feature phone I read this on a forum after I ordered the laptop. He might be. Ordered for around € 40 So no bargain. Achievements I do not play games so I can not say how heavy games do with this video card. Recoding of a 90 minute-long film divx to DVD format with ConvertXtoDVD takes only 7 minutes.
