Dell 9300: How does this look?
Hi, am about to order a Dell 9300. Just wondering how this looks.
Intel® Pentium® M Processor 730 (1.60 GHz/2MB Cache/533MHz FSB) 1Yr Ltd Warranty, 1Yr Mail-In Service, and 1Yr Technical Support Add CompleteCare Accidental Damage Svc to 1Yr Lim Warranty 17 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen UXGA Display with TrueLife™ 256MB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz 1 Dimm 60GB 7200rpm Hard Drive 24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive 128MB ATIs™ Mobility Radeon™ X300 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery (80 WHr) Intel® PRO/Wireless 2915 Internal Wireless (802.11 a/b/g, 54Mbps) total price w/tax + shipping: $1,419.55 I will be using this mostly for poker + recording TV w/a Hauppauge USB PVR in my apartment, and for web browsing/etc in the library/in class. Of course, I'll be adding 1 GB+ RAM from Crucial. I went w/the 128MB ATI Radeon X300 video card instead of 64 MB, does that matter if I won't be doing any heavy gaming (only poker + recording TV)? Also, is the 9-cell 80 WHr battery worth it (extra $79)? And is there anything else worth adding/changing? |

You are very light on RAM

for 80$ more you can get mine with an additional battery, vid card that will dramatically increase resale value, a bluetooth mouse and a dell backpack. Also more ram. btw, the Accidental Care is a huge rip-off. Did you read the fine print?

I did look at the fine print...it said it doesn't cover fire, theft, and intentional damage...did I miss something?

well perhaps not, but it's way to spendy for what it is. What exactly do you forsee as possibly happening?

You should have at least 512 MB of RAM in that machine if not 1 GB.

Will the laptop screen on this machine allow 4 tabling without overlap, or do you have to use an external monitor?
