Many questions about the M1530

1. Should I buy now or are they going to make a new m1530 with perhaps a better GFX card soon?

2. How come they took off the 1600x1050 res thats the one I wanted?

3. How blurry will things look if I turn the res down on a 1900 to 1600?

4. Whats the best deal out right now?

5. Any deals you think will come out in the near future will beat the one you said for number 4?

6. How much RAM should I get? (I want to go with a 32 Bit system so its hard to decide between 3 and 4 and yes I know it only uses liek 3.5 our of 5 but I would still like some input)

7. Maybe configure a system with an 8600M GT and good other specs for less then 1300$ with a discount?

 

1) I doubt it. The GPU is pretty powerful for that size of notebook.
2) Because they could (probably had shortages).
3) Not good at all.
4) See Dell Coupons.
5) Probably not...deals vary week by week though so one week might be better for your config. If you see a good deal grab it.
6) Minimum from Dell, and then upgrade with stuff from the RAM Deals thread.
7) Good idea.

 

1yes, but best deals are out now!
2don't know amybe to make space for a led type?
3 ingame not much and not much rly because of pixel size( decresed screen estate)
4the m1530 with a 25 % of coupon.
5 probably due to summer deals BTS back to school
6get 2 and upgrade ur self. dell overcgarges on ram.
7 possible, very possible. get the one for 999 dollars works out very nice with 20 or 25 percent off coupon.

 

ok thanks... and which should I get, the T8300 or the T7700? (Same price) I think the 83 right?

 

WOW this is a great price
