Finally I'm getting my dell laptop

Long story short, getting it through work and paying back via paycheck (better than using the evil mastercard). Also it was under 2,000 Canadian incl taxes.

Here's the spec's:
- Dell Inspiron 9400
- Dual Core 2 T7200 (2.0GHZ)
- 2GB RAM
- Geforce 7900gs 256mb video card
- 160GB 5400 SATA HD
- Dell Wireless N network card
- 17" WXGA+ Matte screen (no glossy)

I do play alot of games and figure this should last me a while. Also, I did not want to go above my budget at all (which was 2,000).

The main reason I went matte was the following reasons:
- Would be over my budget
- dust & since i'm beside windows, the reflection would be too much.
- I really only have one eye and I find I get eye strain w/ my current laptop
that has a glossy finish.

I cannot wait for my new laptop to come and play games and a much higher detail level and more.

BTW, how long does it take for dell to ship it and me getting it.

Thanks.

 

Nice!!

I ordered my e1705 and e1505 on 2/20. I got a phone call with an automated message on 2/28 that said everything was back orderd and the new ship date would be 3/6. I was very surprised to get both systems last Friday. Very weird but I can't complain!

 

nice deal for under $2000. usually for those specs in a 17" it would cost more than $2000

 

nice specs for under 2 grand
that nvidia7900gs should last you thru many games
cheers
hope your new lappy arrives on time

 

I just ordered my Inspiron 6400 (see sig) 3 days ago for $1300 CDN including tax. It's supposed to ship March 19th! Good luck with yours!!

 

Very good deal congrats

 

Thanks.

Now all I need is a bigger desk at home since the one I got right now (not really a desk) barely fits my 15" right now.

 

I ordered mine at the beginning of January and they gave me an expected delivery date of 3 weeks later. I dont know why but it came after 1 week. I think they boost that time in case a problem arises, but otherwise you shouldnt have to wait too long.
