    hi well i wanted to buy a refurbished e6400 from the outlet and wanted to know how does the dedicated graphics card on it run? the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M With PC-Card. also how is the customer service and do they charge a restocking fee for the business side and do they pay for the shipping back to them?

    also how is the build quality of them? are they that great compared to a lenovo y530/550, cuz i like the design of the ideapads but there not as reliable as the thinkpads.

    also does dell usually have like free shipping or discounts for the business outlet cuz i know they did for home.

    and the Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD With Express Card or like the ones WITH PC-CARD are they much different from the regular 4500mhd or x4500?

    The build quality of the E6400 rivals the Thinkpads.

    As far as PC-Card vs. Expresscard, unless you already have PC-Card(PCMCIA) peripherals then just get Expresscard, it's newer.

    I'm not sure about the deals as far as the outlet goes.

    I'm quite sure they will charge a restocking fee (you should call them and confirm)
    If you are unsure about the graphics capability, why dont you go for an M4400 which has a more powerful GPU ?

    not if you get a business notebook, but it has to be from the business section. its 21 days no questions asked, but you pay shipping.

    GeForce FX6600 256MB for the recommended

    and i would get the m4400 but its too expensive

    Wait for a coupon on the outlet (they do come around)?
    What is your price limit ?

    EDIT: According to http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html
    The 160M on the E6400 should suffice. You will get a more informed answer in the gaming subforum here.

    do they have outlet coupons for business? well i dont want to spend over 650
    so im still wondering if the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M can handle the above game with those requirements.

    even with a coupon the cheapest m4400 with 20% off is still a little under 800, so i want to get a cheap e6400 or wait for a coupon for outlet business if they do have outlet coupons for a decent priced one and used the coupon
