... which marks the beginning of the end for my desktop and FPS playing days! Tis a sad day!

I've gone for the 2.26ghz, 4gb model, radeon 3650 model. Anyone else got one? Are they good?

Looking forward to playing minesweeper. :rolleyes:

Why is it the end of your fps days?

i don't think the studio laptop will run FPS games at a standard i'll be happy with.

Send it back- you never want to deal with Dell customer service.

Are they really that bad? hopefully i won't need to find out?

Anyone know how long they take to deliver? I've been quoted 'on or before 10th March'... does it really take 2 weeks to put a laptop together?!

Why did you have to opt for a laptop then?

my baby son wants his own room... how selfish!
I need to turn my computer room into a nursery so i'm getting a laptop to have downstairs.
