The point was Mr. Davis, I have 2 sonys and have not one bad word to say about either.
I know many people who have dells and they seem to be piles of ----. this guy was asking for my opinion, I give it to him.

the price on that e1505 is not bad, but if you game dont get a e1505 they cannot support any other video cards that are bigger, if you get a e1705 with a x1400, you can upgrade the video card to a 7800 go, 7900gs,7900gtx all very great cards, i currently replaced my 7800 with a 7900gs, just awesome performance, check out www.delloutlet.com for great deals as well. dont upgrade ram or anything as dells is shitty anyways and ram is cheap cheap. newegg for that. otherwise is your not playing games that looks like it would do great.

Well, they have some good things going for them (PSx series is an amazing success due to design innovation and raw talent) and I'm not surprised yours have done a good job, but they are an intentionally non-standardized nightmare when you're dealing with something based on a standardized platform (computers, etc).

Not surprised to hear about the Dell problems... two guys at school have had a problem with theirs, and yesterday the guy next to me broke his dropping it off a 2.5' table onto carpet... I demonstrated Thinkpad superiority by dropping mine three times and booting it. :P Only good Dell laptops I've heard about are the bottom of the line B1200-->B130 units that sell for $450, those seem to last forever under mild abuse.

You don't think that video card will be good enough for gaming?
