Thanks everyone for the posts - it seemed like a good deal at the time and it still does so I'm going to stick with it. Last time I ordered new from Dell and it took 2+ weeks for it to get to my house, this time it's taking 2-3 days...

Everyone, thanks for your comments/suggestions. I'd never even heard of the Dell Outlet site until your posts. This morning (early) I went on and I think I found a pretty good deal. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could tell me if...

Ok I'm a college student and I need a laptop I can take with me to classes, though I don't care how much it weighs or how large it is. My primary concern is gaming.. I don't have the room in my apartment for anything but a laptop, and I...

Ok I just got a 9200 last week and it's my first-ever laptop. Something has started to bug me though and I've tried to call Dell tech support but each time I do, I get put on hold forever. So maybe someone here might know.. Every time I...

Jae, while what sonicwind says is true about the 9200 being returned quite a bit, what he doesn't mention is that most of the returns have been because of the wuxga screen. It is plagued with the so-called 'sparkle effect' and the...

Atlantaken, if you want the best deal, go with the 9200. The specs you listed are more than enough to run FS2004. I have the exact same laptop that you are thinking about buying (9200 2ghz, 1GB ram, 7200rpm HD, 128mb ATI radeon) and...
