Dell 5160 review about 3 weeks in

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
This is my first laptop and i'm new to the board. I have built desktops for the last 5-6 years. But I always wanted a laptop. So I got one. I'm happy with my choice of dell and this laptop. Everything I could want really and its fast.

quick specs
2.8 with HT
512mb(thinking of upgrading to 1 gig on christmas to match my desktop)
30 gig 4200 (is 7200 that big of a difference, i'm used to 7200 with 8mb cached on desktops and this don't seem slow at 4200)
1450 wirless
8x dvd burner
15 inch 1024 max
64 mb 5200

price after 49 rebate 781.00

This thing does rock. Plays RTCW at 1024 maxed out plays GREAT. NO promblems from this unit. Runs super great. I'm very happy. Especially for under 800 dollars loaded out, I think it would be hard to beat something like this.


Picky dislikes, but I knew all of this before purchase.

NO legacy support ps2 etc
only 2 usb drives? (a friend old fuji 1.5 yrs old has 4 and FD built in)
Hard drive over the card slot
keyboard is odd
no volume contorl(except softwarwe or the keyboard fn+xxx)
