Dark_Matter Posted February 4, 2006 CID Share Posted February 4, 2006 Seems my best friend ordered a Dell 9300 laptop last weekend, and just got it yesterday. It's his first laptop, and he is very proud of it. I thought i'd post this since i still seem to be waiting on my MacBookPro!! Atleast someone got there notebook!! He got his with: 7200rpm 100 GB HD 128mb ATI mobility radeon video card 17inch screen always a plus Intel wireless a/b/g internal card 8x DVD +/-RW Drive 1GB of ram 2 512 Dimms Windows Media Edition of XP Not bad for a first notebook alot better than my first was, but then again my first notebook was in 93 or 94. It also seems he got the 9300 just under the wire as dell has removed it from the Home/Office section of their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted February 5, 2006 CID Share Posted February 5, 2006 I hate that card.. I hate how dell downgraded between the I8600 and the 6600.. Even on the 9300 why wouldnt you spend the extra to make that screen look awesome?! I have a 9600 Pro with 128mb of ram.. and it will kick the living crap out of my brother 6600 with the x300.. both 1 gig, 7200rpm 60 gig hard drive, same monitior, and both have the 1.8.. he has the new 533fsb.. I got the 400fsb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Matter Posted February 5, 2006 Author CID Share Posted February 5, 2006 I think all in all he got a pretty sweet laptop, and he is not a gamer so the graphics card he has will be actually more than he needs BTW... LOL i should have my MacBookPro by Monday for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 5, 2006 CID Share Posted February 5, 2006 Good deal dude! i am so excited for you! I want to see one of those so bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Matter Posted February 5, 2006 Author CID Share Posted February 5, 2006 i have been checking out alot of notebook forums, and there seems to be a 50/50 split on people bitching about the price of the MBP. I personally think the price is around where it should be for a sweet machine like that. PLUS if all goes well you will be able to run it as a dual boot with Mac OS, and Vista. Ofcourse apple nor windows will care for that, but it's suppose to be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 5, 2006 CID Share Posted February 5, 2006 yeah.. we will see.. i am sure that someone will come up with a way to dual boot.. I think that the price is a little steap.. but hey it is APPLE!! they have always be a bit high.. but if it look like the pictures I have seen! then hell it is worth every penny!
