Pros

great service, loads of memory

Cons

they don't have updated vista drivers, not too many laptop cases fit it, heavy, Doesn't have good drivers for vista, wireless internet adapter sucks

NOV

2007

Overall I like the laptop and support from dell. I find it does have loads of memory but the cd-rom is slow and it is slow to connect to wireless internet. Don't get me wrong I love the laptop there are just would change a few things before I baught it again. Maybe a faster cd-rom drive and stuff. Also it's really not that good for online games like World of Warcraft. I tired playing and was disapointed when my computer kept cutting out. The graphics card is not up to par.or the driver is upto date for vista. I would of also paid a little extra not get vista or waited a little longer to get a new computer because really I think that is the whole problem with the computer. But other than those things it's got great laptop potential.
