Dell Vostro 1400

Posted November 14th, 2007 at 11:12 PM by carl33p
Bought a laptop this morning!
Dell Vostro 1400
14", 1.4Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB, 160GB, 8400GS, 9Cell battery.
1100$ retail, shipped for 636$

Was going to get ~400$ laptop on Black Friday since this will be mainly for mobile programming use. But then I realized for slightly more the Core2 and dedicated GPU will be helpful if I want to game at all, and for HD content (Anime).
Ive heard the 9cell should get me close to 6 hours. Its coming with Vista Basic. I didnt upgrade because if I want I can get Vista Ultimate for 10$ and throw it on it.

This is my first laptop so im super excited for it to come in.

I've used a lot of Vostros before. They are pretty nice computers... But beware of the crapware that comes on them. I hope you removed all of it.
