Well I just picked up a Dell E1505. With a coupon I found from googling “dell coupon code” the grand total came out to less than $850. This is not a CHEAP laptop but for what you get it is right at the sweet spot in my opinion. Here are some basic specs:

• Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0GHz / 4MB L2
• 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 @ 533
• ATI Radeon X1400 256MB (128MB Dedicated / 128 Shared)
• 15.4 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen WXGA+ Display with TrueLife
• 60GB 5400 RPM HD

So far the laptop has been faster than any other desktop I own - or more likely faster than any two or three of the desktops I own. The gaming is smooth, the screen beautiful and multitasking is highly efficient. It can run World of Warcraft windowed while surfing with Firefox, chatting on TeamSpeak, and torrenting @ 2-3 MB/s without any hiccups.

Anyhow if anyone is looking for a gaming / multitasking laptop in the $700-$1000 range I would have to say this is one of the best deals available right now. I visited just about every name brand manufacturer website before I ordered this and Dell came out to have the best options for the least amount of money.

Also.. this is the first computer / laptop I have ever bought outright from a name brand manufacturer. Just about every PC I’ve owned so far has been home built and the laptops were hand-me-downs from friends / eBay.
