    Well weeks ago I ordered a laptop from ViciousPc, and they kept feeding me BS telling me that it would ship one day, then when I call that day they say another... etc etc for a long time. Then just yesterday I called them to see if they had shipped it yet, and they told me they didn't have my processor avialable! So then they said that they could give me the option of getting the next up processor... for 200 bucks more! So I cancelled my order, and now I'm glad I did so.

    I spent many hours trying to find a good laptop that wasnt priced crazy. I checked every single laptop company and retailers on the internet. I skipped over dell because I always thought they had crappy machines. Then I just decided to check out the dell page last night, and thats when I found the perfect machine: the Inspiron 9300. I'm just waiting to make sure my order from Vicious PC was actually cancelled and then I'll order the 9300. I'm very excited!

    Wait a couple days until Dell gives out more $750 coupons. You'll be kicking yourself if you don't.

    Yeah, I found a coupon before hand, and when I entered it I saved 750 bucks. Thats pretty kickass! :)

    I got the 1.86 processor(saw benches and didn't think 2.0 was worth the price difference), the geforce go 6800(*drools*), a 60 gig HD, 1 gig RAM, the upgraded screen, and a 2 year extended warrenty. I also decided just to go with the cdburner/dvd player combo. I don't ever burn DvDs, but even if I did I would rather have an external DvD burner so I could skip the step of copying it over to the HD.

    Really happy with the deal. It was $1701 after the coupon, there was no shipping costs, and the only thing that sucked was the 100 dollar tax. So my grand total was just a couple dollars over $1800.

    Before buying this I did a lot of research,and there is absolutely no laptop that has as good quality a screen, graphics card, RAM, and warrenty for that price. This laptop is even better then most custom gaming PC companies' best product, and for SO much less(with that awesome coupon)!

    If you're looking for a gaming laptop and didn't bother to give Dell a look-- you should really check out their selection. Even without the coupon their prices are decent compared to other companies, and with the coupon you can't really beat it anywhere.
