Which laptop to get?

[RenderStream1]

Hi guys, I am in the market for a higher end laptop. I will be using it in school as well as for some games.

I am debating either the:

Dell Inspiron 9300 vs Ferrarri 4005

The dell is a 17" at 9lbs
the Ferrarri notebook is 15" at 6lbs

I think the dell is slighly better preformer in games, but is it worth the extra weight?

Ferrari, no dought!

Going to play games much better.

you could've got the Dell 9300 with very decent specs for around $775 last week

ACER AMERICA Ferrari 4005WLMi - AMD Turion64 Mobile 2.0GHz - 1GB RAM - 100GB HDD - integrated DVD-Super Multi double-layer drive - 15.4in WSXGA+(1680x1050) - Win XP Pro

To me my 15.4" wide screen is better than my old laptop with a 17" screen, It is lighter runs longer, and the AMD is much better for gaming.

IMHO, Ferrari. I've never liked Dell, sorry. Not a big fan.

You guys think the ferrarri 4005 can run BattleField2?

I know the 9300 can run it pretty smoothly

Although I am not a huge fan of Dell, I have the 9300 Loaded and it is incredibly fast. I am a structural engineer and use it for Cad/Cam applications. The 17" screen is definitly an upgrade from my old laptop with a 14" screen.

Dell has coupons almost every week for their notebook computers. Recent coupons include the $750 off $1499 deal or the 40% off deal for notebooks $1599 and higher. Dell's prices are what make Dell my preferred choice when it comes to laptops. A good place to check for these deals is at www.slickdeals.net

Dell is better for the pocket, but the ferarri is better on thr wrist.
