How much did you pay? I was looking threw a Dell magazine today and I saw they were offering the same GPU (although I think it had 512Mb of memory though), and I was kinda iffy on it....even though i'm not in the market.

It was about $750, on sale that day too.

Model is Inspiron 15R

Hmm, I'm not too keen on the core i3 but its a good price nevertheless. How big is your HDD?

 

[Simon]

Only 320GB @ 5400rpm. I really should have gotten the 7200rpm, but I was on a budget

Wait for black friday and grab a SSD. Might save some battery life for ya. Gotta love them SSDs:

meh 80 stream procs...

Good for a laptop i guess. WAYYYYYYY better than intel GPUs.

How do you like it?

Absolutely loving it. Runs like a champ. Since this is my first laptop (Well i had one for 6 months that was from 2002, died fast.) i was rather excited by the whole process. Its got a fantastic 720p HD Screen, and i can actually run source games at 80 FPS. So yes, i love it
