Excellent purchase

This is the best deal I've ever got on a laptop. I never bought Dells before this one but I guess now I will have a change of heart about them. It was hard to resist having all this power packed into a laptop and given to you at a price $200 - $300 lower than laptops with similar performance. One thing though, I wish it were an Energy Star laptop. It probably missed that by a hair's breadth because my energy bills didn't go up as I had feared. I'm really glad I got this because it completely replaces the very powerful desktop PC I have in the office.

Solid gaming machine

Got this machine as a replacement for my daughter's gaming laptop. This is faster than her old machine, has better graphics, a larger display, and supports her gaming needs very well. She also uses it for school work and it does a great job supporting all of her needs.

Agree with 1.0 poster

And for this type of money, Mem should be maxxed out, maybe with faster RAM. Also should include 7 Pro. And again for the money, putting in slow 5400 HDD should be considered a sin.
