Should I Sell My Macbook And Get A Dell 1720 Inspirion?

admin — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:16:15 +0000

I like Mac OSX leopard it is fantastic, however I don’t like my laptop, the small size of the screen , and lack of enough USB ports is bugging me , and I don’t take it out a lot.
I thinking of getting Dell since I can get high spec at affordable rates , and i can get the 17″ screen and full size keyboard. However not big fan of windows, but if I get a DELL i will most definitely run Ubuntu on it.
I love Leopard OSX but Don’t like my laptop so what should I do?

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5550 (1.83GHz/667Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
or
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7250 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
Memory
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz
or
4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz
Video card
4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz
a 2 Megapixel webcam
Hard drive
160GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
or
250GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)

Dell Inspiron Laptops The 1720 Verses 1520 ? Which Should I Get?

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 18:17:35 +0000

I’ve upgraded both the 1720 and the 1520 to the same processors and upgrades such as :
Screens 1440×900
Video card 128MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GS
Hard Drive 160GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
ExpressCard Sound Blaster X-Fi® Xtreme Audio Sound Card
They exactly the same inside wise the only difference I can really find between the two is the 1720 has the 17 inch screen and the 1520 has the 15 inch screen. I’m at a loss the 1720 is only $25 more for the bigger screen but is bigger really better? Which should I get?

Hp Dv9500t Vs. Dell Inspiron 1720 Or Vostro 1700? Laptops?

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 08:42:23 +0000

All with similar configurations: 2.2 – 2.4GHZ, 256MB Video, 3GB RAM, 17″ screen (highest res).
HP is offering a 30% coupon.. which means the HP will be roughly $600 less than how much it would cost me to get an Inspiron or Vostro that has no obvious advantages (lower GHZ CPU).
Only main difference is that the HP has a 8600M GS video card.
Both Dells have 8600M GT cards.
I want this laptop to last, but I still can’t decide. Which is better in overall build?. I’ve had a Dell desktop that was a pain in the neck since day one (faulty hard drive on delivery, replaced and corrupted again, motherboard faulty x3) .. but it’s last me 7 years.
Opinions?.
Is the increased price for Dell really worth it?.
I plan on upgrading with my own RAM. Any laptop is set at min config. to save money so I can do this.
Hmm…

Can I Put My 2005 Dell Inspiron Hard Drive Into My 2008 Dell Inspiron 1720 ? (for Extra Memory?)?

admin — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:23:29 +0000

I already have 160 gig hard drive in my current laptop…but the old laptop has a hard drive of 80 gig. Since I have an extra slot, and these are both 17 inch inspirons from dell… would this be a compatible fit?
If not, where are cheap laptop hard drives compatible with Dell Inspiron 1720?
