Hey guys... I'm getting a new Dell laptop and was just wondering what you guys thought of this built. I am using this for business, little games, photo editings and just internet.

Nice system. I'm a poor ******* so I would not pay so much for a system. $650 Tops.
You can probably find something with similar specs but with a much lower price tag and same as new warranty from the Outlet. But if you are happy with your purchase, then that is all that counts.

Depending on business...overkill.

The hardware specs are solid, but for that price I think the screen is small.

Between you video card, cpu, and RAM (5 gigs DDR3??? ) Unless you are a gamer, it its fairly unnecessary.

The specs are impressive, but I agree with Ludasco, 5gb of memory, 250 gb of RAM and a dual core processor seems over the top. For business, basic gaming, photo manipulation and casual web surfing you could have purchased a laptop for half the price.

Still, looking at the positive at least there will be no need for an upgrade in the future.

exactly what i was thinking when i made this purchase, so... hopefully it doesn't fail on me in the next couple of years or so...like my mini 9 did.

Im liking the free fall detector for the hard drive, although i think $1400 is a tad bit much, there are many laptops out there with ALMOST the same specs for about a grand. A bigger hard drive would also be better because nowadays, 250gb isnt that much. You shouldn't really take me seriously, im 14 and i dont know that much.

Very nice for that price. I would have gotten a Macbook for that price though.

I can't even use up 170gigs on my desktop..so 250gigs should be enough for now..250gig is the one they offer for the free fall detector thing.

Well, not everyone wants a Macbook...

Seems like a solid, stout system. What are you doing to be using this for that requires such beefy specs?

Sometimes it is better to build a desktop and then purchase a cheaper laptop for the times you need portable computing. But if you are doing intensive tasks on-the-run, then this system seems pretty good.
