[cpubound]

HI all,

I saw this deal this morning and ordered one and I"m wondering if this is a good deal. Shipped 989.89 US $$
Inspiron 9300
Pentium m 1.72
windows xp media center
17 inch xga display
Radeon x300 128 meg video
80gig 5400 speed hd
24 cd
24x cd/dvd combo drive
intel pro wirless chipset
6 cell battery

Machine is for my wife, but I was going to use it to play wow at night. Not sure if this x300 will work. Trying to figure out if I should keep it or cancel ? what say you laptop experts ?

Thanks

should be better than alot of laptops for WoW since it has dedicated video, if it's enough.. no idea..

You will have to turn the graphics pretty low, but it should run. I would wait for a good deal on a yonah lappy, but then again I havent been keeping up to date on dell deals.

i dont think its hot at all, you should sign up for epp, i got a 30% + 12% standard for a e1505 with x1400 full 3 year at home cc, and lots of extras for 1050.00

9300 isnt worth it unless you get the 6800 in it

For $250 more you can configure an Inspiron E1705 with $1999 worth of stuff, then take the $750 off coupon and enter code at checkout for $1249. Check Techbargains for coupon, I think it expires 4/5
