I love my 1705, thanx to chaz

Yeah.. i got my 1705.. Thanx to chaz for helping me to find the right one..

here is what i got:

Intel Core Duo 2400 (1.83) Proz.
256 MB X1400
1 GB DDR II Ram @667MhZ
80 GB Harddisk
17" WXGA Matte Display
Win XP Pro

for only 1230 USD (in Swiss francs: 1506 CHF)

and after cleaning it from all the crappi thinks that dell installed on my notebook

i got an 3dmark05 Score from: 1879

Must say thats verry good..

And if the Card is to slow: i put an 7900gs in and in a year : Say hello to Meron.. Thats why i choose the Dell 1705.. in this price range it is the best Notebook to upgrade. I LOVE IT....

 

Welcome to the club!

 

thanx jujube.. it is my second dell. before i had an inspiron 6000 with:
-128 mb x300
- 2 ghz cpu
- 1 b ram,
- 80 gb harddisk.
my 1705 ran faster with a lower ghz cpu.. i found it has an better keyboard, a better case, a better glidepad, a better display....oh ok letz say it is more better.... i have sold my one and a half year old insp 6000 on ebay for 872 USD.. not so bad..

 

Congratulations on the notebook, especially at that price.

 

thanx chaz.. must say for the same price i could get the msi megabook with 17" screen, centrino 1.7 mhz cpu @400Mhz, 1GB ram @400Mhz, 256 MB GF6600, and 80 GB HD.. and an Acer 15.4 with an X700 card and an 1.86 CPU.. I think i made a verrrrryyy goood deal with the Dell.. It has not the slowest CPU inside, and the x1400 performs for my gaming expirience not bad.. and i can upgrade everything i want.. CPU: Core Duo to Meron, VGA: x1400 to 7900GTX, HD, Memory.. no other Notebook in this Pricerange con do that.. Ok the Tec-Service from Dell is not so good.. but who cares.. i can do the changes after waranty on my own.

 

yep welcome to the club and congrats

 

Nice deal! Hope it serves you well! The E1705 is one of the more upgradeable notebooks on the market. In the future though, something like the 7900GS will give you a huge performance boost when gaming. That is from your X1400.
