bdsams Veteran Posted June 11, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted June 11, 2004 he should wait for the next pentium m's and get a 1.8ghz dothan for that price. also, might wantt oease off on the ram if hes not going to be doing gaming or photoshoping on it. 512 is enouch for regular use and he can always add more if he needs it. if hes willing to spend 3 grand though, yo umight want to look at the d800, the screen is fin amazing. 19xx x 1200 resolution. i wasnt looking for top of the line, why would i want the shell out more money for somthing that i will take notes on? i didnt need to be the "1337" laptop user, like i stated, i have a desktop that will run anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdsams Veteran Posted June 11, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted June 11, 2004 Thanks for the advice...now to save some money! (So I can sell my 1100!) sry for double post you dont get as long of a battery life with dell's card, i read it on several diffrent forums, just a note to the curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessimat0r Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 This is not your hardcore gaming laptop, if your looking to playing games like Far Cry, Americas Army, or any other demanding games, the gfx card will not run the game smoothly.... Odd, my Acer laptop has almost the exact same specs (inc same gfx), and it runs UT2004 perfectly, on maximum settings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjordan2001 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I got one of these two, it looked great, but it had an annoying dead blue pixel on it so I have to wait for a replacement now :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dessimat0r Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Personally, I'd say that UT2004 looks more realistic. Also, the laptop seems to run every map smoothly. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
