My new laptop w/ pics...
 

Some of you may remember me bitching about how I killed 2 laptops in a week and swearing that I wouldn't get another Dell. Well a $750 off coupon changed my mind.
Behold, my new Dell Inspiron 9300:

17" widescreen WUXGA
256 MB video card
1GB RAM
80GB HD
DVD Burner
Keyboard
Um, advanced 2 mode operation, on AND off.
I'm pretty sure it weighs like 45 LBS. I haven't weighed it yet, but I was able to lift if over my head three times before passing out. All in all it's pretty neat. I thought the dvd controls on the front would get in my way, but so far I haven't even noticed them. I wish they had utilized the space better on the case design, they probably could have squeezed a number pad on there somewhere, but it's fine as is. I got it with the extra long lasting battery, because I'd like to be able to watch a whole movie on a flight before it dies. I haven't tested it yet, but I bet it would be close. That HUGE screen uses a lot of juice.

Wow pretty sweet hardware on it. Only thing that sucks is the weight I'm sure.

Looks just like my Inspiron 6000. Great machines, congrats.

very nice did you know I read somewhere for the first time, laptop sales are ahead of desktop sales.

now that's what I call a laptop!!

The new Inspiron machines are definitely kick-ass for a Dell (I just bought a 6000 recently).

I was thinking about getting a 9000, but didn't want the extreme LCD sparkling effect, since I watch DVDs alot.

Nice!!!!

sweet! :):)

whats it's battery power
how long can you work with it in a row
is it a 6 or 8 cell battery?

thx
I was actually looking for either that one or the samsung m40 which has L33t battery power

pretty snazzy man

That's beautiful! Now I want to replace my 8600 :(

wow, it looks pretty cool!!
How much did you pay for it ?

I got the upgraded 80WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion battery.
I haven't tested how long it really lasts.
I'll throw a dvd in and see how it does when I'm done working for the day. I'll let you know how it does.
:)

greatly appreciated ;)

Looks pimp man!

i want a laptop so bad

i could look at porn on the front porch

now that's wicked....

ver nice! nice and shiny

NICE!!!! I went to order one when there was that deal and the damn thing had already been redeemed too many times :(

That's very nice...I hope to get one soon myself.

you'd think they could put a bigger keyboard on there though

nice specs

Niceee :thumbsup :D

Looks like a good one

that's what I got with 2 gigs of ram and a bunch of cool shit...
oh and 3 years extended warranty I love that
Mine has 2 batteries a 6 and a 9 cell I think.
Gives me 6 hours with radio on

How did you get a $750 coupom??

btw. can you tell me that cupon code ;)
Im interested in buying one as well :), email it to manca1 [at] gmail.com , if you don't want to post it in public ;)
Thanks.

sweeeeeeeeeet

hated the only dell i ever bought looks like a nice machine though good luck with it

awesome machine, i can't think of other brand :)

:smokin

The one I used expired. It was only good for 3000 redemptions. I think it lasted a day.

looks pretty nice

That looks pretty nice.

I just picked up an Acer Aspire 3000 from Circuit City this weekend for $799. Specs are:

AMD Sempron 3000+
512MB RAM
128MB Video Memory
15.4" Widescreen WXGA TFT Display
80GB HD
Dual Layer DVD Burner (this is not advertised on their site, or even on the box. It says it is just a DVD-ROM/cdrw combo. But it is actually a dual layer dvd burner.)
802.1b/g wireless

Its large, but only weighs about 6lbs. These widescreen tft displays have a simply amazing picture.

Nice! What was the total price tag after the rebate?

I just got a Toshiba Qosmio G15 and it has generally the same specs but it's literally a portable tv studio! 17" screen, burns DVDs, watch tv, yadda yadda. I even plug my PS2 in and use the monitor to play games. Battery life ain't what it should be though. Only drawback.

i am moist

i don't like the keyboard area, lots of wasted space on the rest of it.

that's a good one!

That laptop seriously just made me wet ..

bump for an update on battery power :winkwink:

cool stuff bud..
