lol, sorry, I was just kidding. I kinda agree with the consensus, though, about dell's sucking... The XPS is WAY too big for a laptop.

tmandt · « **Reply #10 on:** July 12, 2009, 07:31:46 PM »

300

if i had the money

It's not that big... It's a 15.4" screen. It's not really big.

O, my friend has a gaming version, and ways a freaking ton... He calls it "the behemoth..."

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #13 on:** July 12, 2009, 08:18:25 PM »

Behemoth is a band and sorry that was off topic but i would say its around 500.

PhenomenalDesigns · « **Reply #14 on:** July 12, 2009, 11:19:50 PM »

Dunno why everybody is being so cheap, my brother bought the same spec laptop from dell like less than a year ago for £800 which is about $1000

Rory · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2009, 12:58:02 AM »

Lol. My friend bought a XPS Laptop. Like top of the range. He was all "What you think?" I told him my PC is more powerfull and lasts longer when its unplugged...
AND IT COST LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE LOLOLOL.

I mean, he didn't have WiFi in his home. Who buys a laptop then waits a year to buy WiFi...

Also, its :censored:ing ugly... All that fake carbon style plastic. Backlit Dell logo. I mean buying the thing is bad enough having the thing. Let alone advertising its a Dell. A useless lcd screen that tells the time. What the hell. Its easier looking at the bottom of the screen i'm on than to look at the keyboard to tell the time.

I'd steal my moms Dell though... For no other reason than OSx86.

Get an MSi Wind. Srsly, its all you need.

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 13, 2009, 07:18:44 AM »

Er...that's not the laptop I have, at all.

Oh I left out the cd/dvd reader/writer but that's pretty much a give-in that it has one.

XeoBllaze · « **Reply #17 on:** July 13, 2009, 07:23:13 AM »

That laptop considering it's in excellent condition and still have warranty left should get you around 600-700USD.

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2009, 07:33:26 AM »

Warranty lasts till May 2010 and I've just had the CPU, Motherboard, and GPU heatsink replaced within the past 3 months (I love stupid Dell tech. I made stuff up and got the stuff replaced.)

ryan0 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 13, 2009, 07:29:27 PM »

If I had the money I'd pay about 400 euro/620 dawra,
but I'm happy with my Fujitsu atm,the specs aren't great but it does whatever I want it to do!

.MadX · « **Reply #20 on:** July 13, 2009, 07:55:12 PM »

It's a laptop and has good graphics so $350

aquatsr · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2009, 11:44:46 PM »

That laptop won't go for <$800 USD. That being said get a $300 laptop instead.

OR, take your $800 and build a kick-ass desktop (you can make a mid-to-high end gaming desktop (sans monitor/keyboard/mouse) with $800-900 USD.)

PspKicks316 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 17, 2009, 01:04:27 AM »

You just said it won't go for UNDER $800. Don't tell me what to do, I asked for a price range.

ApheX · « **Reply #23 on:** July 17, 2009, 01:14:04 AM »

Personally i wouldn't touch dell with a 10ft barge poll, but as your asking for a price, i'd say between $400 - $500.

VoX · « **Reply #24 on:** July 19, 2009, 11:01:08 PM »

I'd pay about $1200 AUD for that. I brought one recently like yours for about that price

$0 then. Dell XPS is more style than substance. Just look at the RAM speed. Sure you get a nice vid card and processor but your memory is shyte. I gave you an alternative for the price I thought a system like that would fetch, and you bite my head off.
