I LIKE DELL PRODUCTS. I HAVE A LAPTOP 1525 THAT'S A YEAR OLD. IT DOES GOOD, BUT I WANT A MEXA PC AND I WANT SPEED AND ENOUGH TO RUN MY HOUSE. SOME GAMES, MOSTLY MUTIL- MEDIA.

To run your house? You want to clarify a bit?

Laptops aren't the best things to buy for future upgrades.

If you mean a media center pc, you would best served to get a desktop. As aford10 stated, laptops aren't the best machines for an upgrade, much less most dells. Maybe look into a custom build or a company that will build you something that can be upgraded down the road.

Laptops aren't really built for upgrading, it's not as straightforward as upgrading a desktop.

What kind of media to you plan on running? Editing or just watching? What kind of games, old or new etc.

We need to know these things before advising you.

Also please try not to write all in CAPITALS.

Thanks.
