New laptop: dell 1705. I need to spend some education money from work before july 1st and am looking at laptops. Anything good or bad on dell laptops or this laptop in particular. reliability: suggestions: (i was think c2d 7200, 2 gb ram, 7900 gs video)...

guy just needs a decently performing laptop, and if a battery life of 2-3 hrs is acceptable, then I would not hesitate to recommend the Celeron M. HEY IM IN THE SAME BOAT. I JUST BOUGHT A DELL 1705 NOTEBOOK WITH THE 2 GHZ DUO CORE. BUT NOW IM LOOKING AT THE...

I was still leaning toward the more expensive Dell laptop because of those differences. Then, I kicked in that 20% coupon and BAMMM!!! The $1,699 Dell laptop dropped to $1,520. Yeah, buddy! Hmmm...I do have more $$$ left over and I am underbudget a...

fastest graphics notebook ever. I want one and I want one now lol. It looks like a beast of a laptop. First off, its not made of plastic! (mostly) It already has a 7900GTX, nice Core Duo (still 32 bit but ya know whatev) OK it is a Dell but I like them,...

alone at newegg was 479$ and thats not even a master card,ihave that also:) this system is truely a steal and i doin it to downgrade to a dell 1705 laptop with 1.73 core duo 1 gig ddr667 and a 7900gs that imm praying is a dual heatpipe version...the 1705 isbasically...

My grandmother who is 83 got a DELL 1705 or whatever it is, I was so unimpressed, like you said with the cheap flimsyness of the case on it and the screen wasn't all that. BUT, I also realize that we are talking about a sub-1,000 $ machine, and DELL definately...

would like this laptop to hold out for at least 2-3 years, though I am willing to upgrade components if needed. I will use it for games, as well as for work. I understand that the 512 GeForce 7900 GTX doesn't fit into a Dell 1705, unless you want to modify...

wall. 7950gtx>8700gt>8600gt , there are benchmarks of it in : Wonder how well it overclocks or if future drivers will help. I had a dell 1705 with the Geforce 7900gs and it was great. I hope this will be the same speed or close if I OC it or get tweaked drivers....

from many sources again.. Newegg when it's in stock ( they also have the G2 17" version) or places like I would say the G1 is the best maxed out deal on the net. If spec wise you're going for just plain gaming power, Dell's 1705 with a 7900GS is the best...
