You are browsing within the review sections of our forums. Content within these sections reflect consumer opinions of laptops. Our admins take the best and most objective laptop reviews and index them here to create a distinct selection of quality reviews with averaged overall ratings. Many of these reviews have benchmarks attached to them which allows for users to compare their laptop's performance with others, and ultimately enables us to provide a sortable list which at a glance show the fastest laptops amongst a variety of applications (gaming, video editing, web browsing, etc...). Help us build a better laptop database by submitting your laptop review.

BuzzPuppy is a n00b, but everyone loves n00bs!
Wel it arrived and with some oven-baking loving, the laptop is going!

-Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
-T2600 CPU
-Geforce 7900GTX 512MB (195.39 Drivers from here)
-2GB DDR2 SODIMM
-100GB 7200rpm HDD

Dead Gigabit LAN, dead Bluetooth though but I can't really knock back the fact that I have a free XPS m1710.

I'll have to look up how the benchies are done and put this thing through its paces with the new drivers, etc.

Cheers!

Congrats! Free is good! Mine originally came with a T2500 and an 80GB drive. I upgraded to a T7600. Wish I could have gotten the T7600G, overclockable, but they were\are hard to find and still a bit pricey. I went to a 160GB drive for awhile and recently to a 320GB drive.

Let us know how that Windows 7 works for you. I have one that I haven't put on yet. I put Win 7 on my D420 and it's working "fairly" well, except for a few blue screens and graphics driver probs! What a surprise.

Enjoy!
