Primary use will be for Poker. I multi-table (3 or 4) and would like to be able to view without overlap (is this possible on a Notebook?) I also run PTracker and GT+ while I play. I was considering the Dell Inspiron 9300... Any thoughts? Also, what if any upgrades will I need to be able to multitable?
I currently use an Inspiron 5150 and the highest screen resolution is 1024 x 768...

Your advice is appreciated in advance! /images/graemlins/confused.gif

notebooks are excellent for this, because desktop lcd's dont give you 1600x1200 unless you by 21"+! (if i'm wrong, someone please let me know!!!) find any model with WUXGA+, the inspiron 9300 and XPS do it w/ 17" screens, the 6000 gets the same res in a 15.4" screen. that'll fit 4 party tables without overlapping, plus some extra space on the side.

I just ordered a 9300 with the WUXGA screen, which will give you 4 tables without overlap. If you do a google search for "Dell coupons" you can find some coupon numbers for $800 off, or 35% off. Which one you use depends on how many upgrades you give the computer. Mine came to about $1400. This model has the 17" screen and I got the 256 MB vido card and 2 yrs at home service.

My laptop just crapped out this weekend so I also took advantage of this deel and got a 9300.
