Will it be able to handle games like CoD MW2 & Oblivion? Here is the specs:



I won't end up doing any serious gaming, but I'm just wondering... Oblivion is a must.




I ordered it yesterday...

mmmmm yeah.

that resolution blows IMO, but if the price is good then go for it

I wanted a 15.6" so I could easily fit it in my backpack; I have a 21.5" monitor that I'll end up using... I got a $300 discount due to my dad's employee pricing (after warranty & printer).

lol, if it doesn't something is horribly wrong

6/18/2010 5:46:48 PM

lol my old 15.6 dell is 1920 by 1200. My netbook is 1366 by 768. But yeah that should handle most games at that low resolution.

Yeah that display is bullshit

I do not believe you.

^if it was a Precision workstation laptop, its entirely possible. Their workstation laptops have had insanely high res screens for years.

^link? I'll get a used one.

I'm used to my IBM with 1600x1200 native and new laptops are just trash beside it. A full HD screen would be awesome

laptop yes, screen no.

Dell has had 1920 by 1200 15" laptops forever. Mine was a Dell Inspiron 9100 with a pentium 4 3.2ghz and ATI 9800. I still have it. Don't use it for much though. Got it in like 2004. Played Oblivion alright.

Was a beast though. Almost 10 pounds and pretty much a desktop replacement. Got me through the first couple years of college until i built my first desktop.

^want to sell it?

Both of my Dell laptops were high resolution screens. I still have both, but the 8000 doesn't get any action these days, and the 6000 stays at home on a desk as my secondary use computer.

1600x1200: Inspiron 8000 that I bought in 2001.

1920x1200: Inspiron 6000D that I bought in 2005.

My work laptop (Lenovo) is that awkward 1400x1050 resolution. I'm at least thankful it's not anything less, though.

^^sure it's really not worth more than like $150. Everything works fine except the screen hinges are a little loose and i'm sure the battery doesn't last more than like 45 minutes.

I didn't know that, I had been looking for a 1920 by 1200 screen for a while and had trouble finding them on a lot of models. I assumed they only came on 17" models, and then only sometimes. Work got me a 17" 1920x1200 precision m6500 recently.

This shit's absolutely gnarly; I came home from Puerto Rico to find it inside, still in the packaging. I love everything about it so far, still installing/transferring shit and I haven't had a problem.
