New Laptop

[Deadline]

Edit: OOops wrong Forum, sorry. Feel free to move this.

Hey guys, just ordered a new laptop, wondering what you guys think about it. Its not crazy or anything.. mainly just bought it for web surfing and gaming (mainly WoW). What do you guys think about it? I got preferred through dell for $1500 so I am paying 44 A month right now... I have yet to recieve it, only ordered it today, but just interested in your feed back.

I know the video card is not the best, but I think the 2gb of RAM should make up for it.

I know, could the video forum and hardware forum be any further apart?? :hmph:

Yeah, sorry. I am using tabs in Firefox... just got ahead of myself and didnt notice I was in the wrong tab.

Thats way too expensive and overkill for WoW and surfing.

Not exactly... the 7900 is far more powerful than the x1400, but the x1400 is still plenty good for WoW.

I've done that a few times, like open the same thread up twice, then post in both tabs..and then realize.."Oh shit."

Anyone know how the x1400 plays HL2?

My x300 plays HL2 at 1280x800 low settings, so you should be able to use at least medium settings.
