Re: IS THIS A GOOD DEAL (LAPTOP)
If you want the fancy XPS case.....it might be a deal. You'd really need to go price shop it with a new one a Dell's site. I also assume that price only includes the standard 1 yr warranty. I can get you alot better specs for much less money on a Dell Inspiron 6400/1505, I do know that.
Hope this helps a little..... *Edit*: Ok I just glanced back and saw that it was a 17" screen which does make it a little better price, but not alot. That processor is really considered out dated now..... |

Re: IS THIS A GOOD DEAL (LAPTOP)
So you already bought this laptop? Oh! No big deal, if you're happy that's all that matters. The Inspiron 9400 I quoted up there would require an upgrade to get the 1920 x 1200 resolution. The total price would be $1,147 for the same laptop I quoted with the same resolution you got. That's $197 more than you paid.
Either way, it doesn't really matter because it sounds like you already own the XPS. Do I think the 9400 I quoted with the hi-res screen was a better "deal"? Absolutely, BUT you're happy with it and it does all you want, that's what matters and there is nothing we can do to change it now. |

Re: IS THIS A GOOD DEAL (LAPTOP)
anyone know how many tables can fit on a 1920 x 1200 screen? i am desperately trying to find a monitor that can accomodate six tables on a screen w/ no overlap. also, i'd like a larger screen, say 21" or so. any ideas?

Re: IS THIS A GOOD DEAL (LAPTOP)
12 tables tiled on FTP, which are resized, not normal size.
Probably same on Stars. |
