Notebook - which one do you suggest?

Post by Takeo » Sat 24 Sep , 2011 4:26 pm

Hey guys,

A long while has passed since my notebook told me that it wants to change it's owner.

Therefor I thought of buying a new one and naturally I asked myself:
Which laptop should I buy?
The main idea is to buy one from Dell and it should cost max. about 600€

I came up with the 'DELL XPS 15 L502x'
What do you think about it? Any other suggestions?

PS: the notebook will mainly be used for work/school/study. I'm not sure about gaming yet but I got my pc for that, don't I? ;)

Looking forward for your answer,
Takeo

So, I've looked at it and I'm not sure it would fit for what you plan to do. On the tests I have looked at, it is said that it is a bit heavy (around 3kg, but maybe it's ok with you...), the sound is good but not if you use a headset, it becomes noisy when the fan of the graphic card is activated and the autonomy may be a bit short (around 4 hours with a continued use).

Now I don't know what you want to favour: the weight? the sound? the video? the included software? the silence?
Will you use it at school? In this case a laptop based on the Inspiron15 model seems more suitable because lighter. But it's up to you.
Its all about the game, and how you play it
All about control, and if you can take it
All about your debt, and if you can payit
Its all about pain and whos gonna make it...

I myself use Dell Vostro 3750 (variant: i5-2410M, Integrated GPU + GeForce GT 525M, 4GB RAM). Currently it costs 21 000 CZK (cca 840 Euro). Its 17.3" and has matte display (main thing why I wanted it). Primary use is work/school.

Videocard: NVIDIA GeForce GT540M 1GB
Memory: 6GB
