    I have a few questions:

    1. Does Dell look likely to release a successor to this laptop any time soon? I don't want to buy a laptop that'll be old in one month.
    2. What's the battery life like?
    3. How's the build quality and the screen?
    4. Does the 6630M handle games reasonably well?


    Finally, is an i5, 4GB, 500GB, 6630M for €479 a good deal on this laptop or not?

    1. Since it's Sandy Bridge based, it will obviously stay in the market for some more month before they upgrade it (after Ivy Bridge comes).
    3. I have the 13" version of this, both pretty good.
    4. I suggest you search for that particular card either on Google or on Youtube, you will find a lot of reviews.
    5. Seems an awesome price to me. (It will be probably 1x4GB, so prepare to upgrade to 8GB in this case so it can use dual channel)

    Hope I could help!
