Similar specs to my Sager laptop that was about same price. Mines a better vid card, bigger hdd, more ram… Idk Im not a Dell fan… But if you have to go through them, I did have an Alienware before this that I did not have one problem with for 5 years straight. So I am a lot of help. But yes solid specs for the price. ---

Spend about 700 less and get a mid range laptop to do your basic bullshit on… buy/build a ballin desktop Unless you travel a lot and game or do a shit ton of video/graphics work… its an absolute waste of money to spend that much on a laptop. ---

Ahh idk why i just assumed laptop… guess i’ve been dealing with a lot of fucktards lately looking to spend a grand plus on laptops and saying they can just upgrade it down the road :facepalm When ti comes to desktops, I guess I just prefer built ones, just because its generally more cost effective for what you get, but its a good machine Thing you need to remember about the size of the drive and price etc is that hard drives are catching a premium now and its starting to reflect in PC prices a bit The only thing I’d bump up is the video card to the 560ti… but if you dont do any heavy gaming i woudlent worry about it the 6870 is a great card Its a great PC no doubt, would deff be a few bucks cheaper to build yourself, but if you have an account and like just having to worry about small payments then go for it! its deff not a bad deal [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/where-my-nerds-at-another-computer-thread/261576.md?page=2)
