Hello all...new to the forum. I just ordered an Inspiron B120 for my son for Christmas. He doesn't really need anything outrageous so I was looking for a basic notebook that would still perform well and be of good build quality. I stumbled across a great deal at Dell. I got this B120 for $460 including tax and handling. It's got the following features:
Any thoughts on this machine? I looked like an incredible offer to me. I've been searching around and I can't find anything even close to this with this many features. My only concern is the screen.

) that this is in no way a gaming rig... it will chug like a dog on most recent games, and CPU heavy applications are also gonna struggle. Other than that it's fine, and I've heard good things about the new 14" widescreens dell are using.
