Dell 5150
60gb HD, 80gb Iomega external HD
15 inch UXGA display
p4 3.06 ghz, 1gb ram
DVD+CD/RW
Nvidia 64mb gforce 5200
There are only two things that piss me off about this laptop. First, I bought the thing in September and the hard drive was defective and crapped out twice, and it took 13 hours to ghost it to the replacement drive through a USB HD.
Second, the 5200 Gforce card is SHIT. Graphics are fine, WHEN IT WORKS. UT goes into "slow motion" at random intervals regardless of settings, Medal of Honor just freezes and crashes everything, and its all the result of the POS Nvidia card. When I can scrounge up 125 bucks, I'm going to order the 64mb ATI Radeon card instead and install it. Once thats in there, I'll be happier than a kid in a candy store with this thing.
It also does have a tendency to run hot, and it is pretty hefty, but it's also a pretty loaded system. I'll be getting a $10 card so that it has USB 2.0 capabilities, too.
