After using my Inspiron 9300 (Pentium- 1.6, 1 Gig DDR2, 6800 Go 256 MB) with hardly any problems for 3.5 years (well, aside from the vertical line issues), I ran into a rather problematic issue today. While playing WoW, my computer...

The Dell I9300 for instance is around 8lbs, which isn't that bad. Sager/Alienware 17 inch notebooks are about 12 lbs though afaik.

The I9300 Go 6800 is also seriously underclocked out of the box....

For some reason, the only gaming benchmark they actually display is UT2k4, which afaik is rather CPU restricted. The X600 HP remaining close is also a pretty good indication of that.

No. There are special (and relatively rare) coupons for that.

To give an idea in performance, systems running 1Gig of Ram, a 2Ghz Pentium M and a Mobility Radeon X600 (the 128 MB version, so that will some, but generally not huge impact) scored a max of around 1600 3D marks in 05; systems with the...

Yes. AFAIK, the X600 is essentially the same card as the Mobility Radeon 9800 (correct me if I am wrong) but made for PCI-E. The GeForce Go 6800 is a faster GPU and will ocnsiderably outperform a X600. Don't look at the 256 MB as the...

Well, you will have to spend 17 dollars more, but in that case you could get a Dell Inspiron 9300 with the specs in my sig
