    Dell Laptops, Desktop Computers, Monitors, Printers, & PC Accessories, that's all I have to say about it.


    Price wise for the quality you have for, this is extremely good, plus you can pick up any pieces you want to have inside therefore you pay for what you need. They are cheaper in general than Asus, Alienware (Obviously and though now Alienware belongs to Dell) and you have a very correct guarantee coming with it. Other companies like Sony are making excellent computers too and maybe a bit nicer but you,ll pay more for what you will have.

    Here just for fun, I did build you a 15' screen VERY correct for your needs (I took a 15' as it's even cheaper than a 14' screen for 679 cdn bucks:

    500 sata HD
    15' inch HD screen
    enhanced battery for lifetime (you should be good for over 4 hours with it on a 15' as I do almost 4 on my 17
    4 GIG ddr ram
    2.4 processor dualcore
    A very correct wireless card.

    Go give it a look and play with the options if you want to upgrade it a bit more and be willing to shell some more bucks on it.

    Make sure you get one with HDMI out so that you can watch streamed fights on a big tv with HDMI when/if you have one...

    I didn't even realize i'd bought a combo capable of that until one day I just realized my tv and laptop both had HDMI.. Bought a cable, plugged it in, and bang, tv turned into the computer screen...

    I don't use it very much, but for downloaded movies/tv and fight streams I love it..

    Would probably be cool for games as well except I only use PS3 for games..

    Don't know much about laptops.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 and its fucking shit.

    The battery is faulty and dies the second its unplugged. One of the keys fell out and it's really slow and shit.

    It's horrible to type on and I got ripped off on the price too, paying £450 for it about 18 months ago and then seeing better specced laptops for cheaper in Staples.

    Generally I really like Dell, I have a 24 in widescreen Dell Monitor that is lush but I really resent buying this piece of shit laptop.

    I would recommend buying anything other than a Dell....

    I guess they saw a 4 1/2 foot guy with gray hair and a cape to be an easy target....


    I bought a compaq about a year and half ago and it's been running really great.. One of the keys got jammed on this, but they pull of easy and click back in like a charm (was just dirt under the key). The only problem I have with is that it came with Vista, and the hardware probably isn't quite good enough to run vista well. So it can be a bit slowly and clunky when i'm doing a bunch of stuff, but that is rare...

    No complaints with Compaq at all.. Quite happy with it actually and this was a relatively low end model.. About $1000 Australian which I don't know, is probably about 450 pounds... I could probably have found it for $700 if I looked hard but I wanted to buy it on interest free terms and pay later, so had to get it from a specific store..

    So you feel that the basic computer, with the battery upgrade, meets all the criteria I specified?

    I am more than positive; I did buy mine 2 years ago and it is not as powerful as that one (obviously) and it is more than decent to watch movies and streams as long as you have a good internet connection (of greater importance for streams).
    Bilbo seems to have had a very bad experience with is Dell but Me, my brother, mother and a very close and geek friend of mine have all Dell and we haven't have had no major problems whatsoever with it, I did look at more or less every brands before i bought mine and seeked advices to two close and übergeeky friends and they told me that Dell have definitely improved their quality in the 4 last years due to rough rivalry and that now, for the price and quality balance you have for, this is a top choice. I would never lie about such things especially as I am not a Dell sucker, I prefer the Sony Vaio for a couple of reasons but to have a very good computer and a cheap price, Dell are hard to beat at the moment and that's why I went with it.

    I should note that I bought the XPS 2010 thru work so I didn't pay the full price. I got a discount on it...

    Great, thanks for your help.

    What do you think about this one, it's the Dell 14" Inspiron that I half-assed customized for myself. It's on sale (I think) for $120 off. I'm concerned about portability, so I think the 14" model might work better for me.
