I'm not a very big laptop guy, but with so many projects requiring matlab and pspice at school, I decided a laptop would be very helpful. I looked around for a week or two finding not only the best laptop for my needs, but also something easy on the eyes.
I've never been a big Dell fan either, but once I saw the 6000/9200 series, I was sold on the looks alone. My experience with this laptop has been nothing but remarkable. This laptop is even more beautiful in your hands than it is on their site. The mobile 9700 is very nice, although I haven't had much of a chance to really play any good games on it. The 17" screen is unreal, the thing is simply a monster and the picture quality is amazing.
There are only a few things I didn't like about ordering from Dell. First of all, taxes are a bitch, and they do a very good job of not telling you you have to pay them until you're at the last payment screen. Their order status is horrible to say the least. Upon ordering from them (with expected ship date only a week after from ordering) I saw that the earliest ship date was a month away. I received the notebook only a week after ordering though, but it's pretty obvious they do that to get your hopes up, then they 'save the day' by getting it to you on time.
Enough ranting, this laptop is great. Stylish, beastly, and fairly light (only 7.5lb). If you want to do word processing and some gaming as well, this lappy is worth every penny
Anyone who owns one have any thoughts ?
