Did someone drop you on your head as a baby? Your really downgrading there. Well actually the XPS 17 has an i3 and 550m geforce for £600 so its not really that much of a downgrade.

Not at all,its just i got lack of space to work with my desktop taking all the room i need switch to a laptop.
Hopefully someone buys my desktop soon because i am getting quite excited for the dell,may try my luck and config it with the GT555M instead.

But why a dell, that's almost as bad as a HP

My guess is because their currently on a sale/promotion

the most expensive and highest spec'd XPS17 is £1,302.99 but its now going for £879.00 which is quite a massive cut IMO.

Well cheesy if you can find a better deal than an i3+GT550m setup from a different manufacture that cost £600 then i will consider it.

But right now from all the laptop dealers i've looked at none of them has the specs i want apart from the Dell.

I am starting to have doubts about Dell's quality, My friends 1549 (is it?) keeps on overheating. I would go for MSI or Asus right now, maybe even Lenovo or (god forbid) Apple. But if the price is right and you are willing to take a risk, go for it. Just make sure to look around the web for manufacturing defects etc before taking a plunge.

If you got problems with laptop overheating, I recommend that you find out which part (GPU, CPU, etc.), measure the thickness of the thermal pad that's on there and get one of those copper shims that I got for FreedomEclipse.
Apparently they work quite well.

Waiting for the shims to arrive, it should be here some time now. But this episode does not inspire confidence in Dell's engineering department, and also the way they deal with their own faults.

I would love to go for MSI or Asus or Lenovo but none of them offer the price

erformance ratio as well as the dell xps 17" for £600,the other option was an Acer Aspire 5750G for £529 which has an i5 and a GT540m which is an 15.6" laptop.
After that margin the best one to offer is the Dell at £600.

LifeOnMars · Jun 4, 2011

4-2 England is my guess. Can't get beat by the fookin Swiss, surely?

Well, if you are taking risks might as well go Acer

Well you could say that, I think they are the only team to beat Spain in a competative match in the last 4 years, however no excuses for us, we went to them and beat them 3-1 I think it was, they come to us and as usual we start oozing that old substance.... whats it called now........ spineless! :rolleyes:

Yes it was a bit shabby to say the least, England team just feels totally disjointed to me at the moment....no major excitement in how we play at all IMO.

NdMk2o1o · Jun 4, 2011

We are shite plain and simple, we look flat and lack any sense of threat. But hey, we all know the UK sucks at most sports even though we always think this year could be the year......... :roll:

What we lack in victory, we gain in false hope....

kurosagi01 · Jun 4, 2011

England= If we win we know we have some chance to win the cup.
Also if England host the world cup people will expect England to win aswell.

NdMk2o1o · Jun 4, 2011

Seriously some people piss me off, they ask for opinions though when it doesn't sit with their view they get dicky about it, I really need to just walk away from these situations cause it riles me who some people can really be so pig ignorant to things.

Rant over, YouTube and voddie commencing :toast:
