I hope you're either rich or going to sell your desktop.

I don't have a desktop anymore...not that's worth anything at least.

Anyways, no I'm not rich, I just saved for the laptop and this was a pretty great deal from dell so I boaght it.

Cause not only did I get a free wireless internet card, but I got a free printer and some free proggies and 750 dollars off.

I mean... I put in 200 extra just for the warantee so that's what really kills it. I hate that freaking thing...but it's necessary.

Yeah... that will pretty much eat up anything you put in its way...

its not very portable compared to other machines (due to its 17" screen). Should do fine if you're using it as a desktop replacement or LAN parties (assuming its for gaming).

Nice laptop, you must have a strong back to tote that monstrousity around. I which I had nerves to spend that much money.

I was really close in getting the Dell's I9300 but I can wait for a little longer for the newer lappy's to come out.
