Okay, so I need a laptop for school, I used to be fairly techie in my youth but have completly lost touch for atleast the past three years. I just ordered this from dell's website, I've been looking there and at newegg.com seriously, and less seriously at wal-mart and best-buy, for the past month. I would like to know if I got a good deal or not. I paid $749 total, that includes tax with free shipping. The basic stats are like this...

Inspiron 1525, Intel Core 2 Duo T5750, 2.0GHz, 667Mhz, 2M L2 Cache

3GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm

15.4 inch Wide Screen WXGA+ LCD TrueLife

250G 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive

Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 Home Basic Edition, English

8X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive

Integrated 2.0M Pixel Webcam

Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Mini Card

I also spent $50 extra for a "high definition" screen, going from 1280x800 to 1400x900 I think.. Was that worthwhile? Maybe I should have asked these questions before buying it...

He finally beat death in a best 34 out of 67 match. At that time he could ask for any one thing and he could wish for the hope of all mankind... he looked death right in the eye and said ...
