Title: If others ask about their laptops, why can't I?
Post by: X9341 on May 21, 2008, 07:26:54 PM
I bought a new Dell Vostro 1500 a few days ago, here are the specs:

QuoteVostro 1500, Intel Core 2 Duo T5470, 1.6GHz, 800Mhz FSB, 2M L2 Cache
15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA LCD display with TrueLife for Vostro 1500
2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 DIMM
256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
120G 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Genuine Windows XP Home Edition, SP2
8X DVD+/-RW with double-layer DVD+R write capability, w Roxio Creator

Whatcha think? It's not supposed to be godly, just enough to run WoW. The WoW box said I need a Class 1 or 2 graphics card, which I've got. It also wanted 512MB RAM and a processor that's a bit worse than what I ordered.

Is it any good?

Full of meh. >_>

I love 17" screens, can't stand 15.4" ones or smaller..

Since it's a standard screen.. and nothing jumps out at me anywhere else.. um.. I hope you didn't pay much for it. o.o;

As long as it works and runs and you got it cheap and you like it, you're good to go, yeah?

Processor is, at least to me, weak. 2+ GHz, kthx. Also, GeForce 8600 series is underpowered. Go for the 7950, 8800, or the recent 9xxx series.
