DELL Inspiron Laptop. 1680x1050 on 15.4 inch WTH?

[Larr__David]

Hi, I read on their website that if u upgrade ur screen to SXWGA or something which is 150 bucks more expensive, u can get 1680x1050 resolution on a 15.4 inch screen.

I guess thats good enough for 4 tabling. Anyone has that kind of DELL laptop and opinions?

Also I wanna buy one from their website but my credit card has only 1000 dollar limit, do u know is there a way I pay 1500 or smtg with my credit card because in Canada I couldnt find any other way to buy DELL laptop. No store sells them

You need to get the 17" model with upgraded screen in order to get >1600x1200

These models are: Dell 9300 or e1705

I see them harp on their payment plan all the time. Like "$1000, or just $12/mo" and so on. That might require financing, but it's worth a shot.

also they say I should find coupons or smtg. But when I choose my laptop config it says I am using 260 dollar discount on free upgrade on graphics to 256 mb ati radeon.

In that condition can I also use these coupons? there are like 10% discount coupons.

Dell also taked Paypal payments too, and you can use more than 1 CC in the transaction,I purchased a notebook yesterday and those were all options.

For a poker player, you need a minimum of 1200 vertical pixels. Otherwise, you will get overlap at default window sizes. For some reason Dell discontinued WUXGA for the 15.4" Inspiron. You can only get WUXGA for the 17" version. A 17" laptop is a behemoth. If you really want 15.4", get the Lenovo or Alienware.

You are screwed with the CC thing.

What you should consider doing is this: go to ebay

At ebay.com , you will find many laptops with 1680x1050 and 1600x1200 resolution, new laptops and used laptops, with many different forms of payment available.

I'd be pretty bummed if I was forced to switch from a trusted, warrantied retailer and go to eBay just because my CC had a $1kUS limit.

TobDog seemed to list plenty of options (right before PhuDog said you had no options.)

You can get a 15 inch WUXGA Latitude in the Small Bus store. FWIW, I severely regret getting a 17 inch screen every time I move it.
