No offense people, but some of you make zero sense. I finally pick a laptop and now I have the Dell Squad wanting me to buy a scratched up, dented thing with good performance! I do appreciate the help, I really do, but what the hell?
If I get a 500GB 5400rpm drive instead of the 7,200rpm drive, an get 2 year warranty (not an extension), then the purchase of that Lenovo will be under £500.
Okay Inspirons are supposed to be super cheap (according to reviews), flimsy, break, an Dell support is apparently awful unless you get some business support crap, which I'd rather not have. The m11x, as far as I was aware was a netbook style powerhouse, the last time I looked anyway. What about my CDs? My games? How do I put those on then? Oh I can't, that's why Dell pre-load Steam with it. I forgot. I can't stand Digital downloads, unless you spend a bomb on your Internet connection so you download more than a quarter of an 8gig game before getting your bandwidth throttled, then it's no good. Plus I'd actually have to use Steam, a service which I absolutely hate.
A deal? So you saying to me that all of that stuff from the Lenovo site for under £500 isn't worth it? It's well made and the support is good and the hardware isn't bad, plus the warranty prices are good. Please if you can find me a great condition laptop with good parts, plenty of memory, good processor, good graphics (6620g is actually pretty decent), doesn't flex on the keyboard or case, or when I ring them up to get it fixed they actually do so without transferring me to 10,000 Indian script readers, an get it repaired within the first year, then yeah sure... I'll get one.
I asked for help and people gave it and that's great, but now I'd picked something you're telling me I'm pretty much wasting my money an then suggest to me the Dell outlet? Everytime I went on there, it was difficult finding anything because it's like, who's the best vulture! There it is! Get it, get it! Everyone quickly trying to snap up very few laptops people sent back. I care about my purchases mate, I'm not loaded like you folks, who can spend 1000's every few years on Laptops and so don't care. Perhaps your suggestions are brought about by favouritism? I'm guessing you bought something from the Outlet, correct? I have about £500 to last get me a laptop, built to last, at least 4 years. Optimistic? Maybe so, but it must be done.
Scrutinize... that's why I was interested mate. Integrated graphics on par with some discrete cards. Not bad. The only negative to the system is the base clock speed of the processor.
Peace - I'll be changing my signature to Dell is Evil
