    I see they have a 25% off coupon in the dell deals section. What is the best performance I can get out of any model of Dell for 600 dollars? I can go up to 625 tops.

    I'm looking for a better video card then the x4500. Something non integrated for sure. One of those lenovo's doesn't look to bad.

    There's an awesome deal on Inspiron 13 right now... Vostro 1510 gives a good bang too. Actually, generally the Inspiron and Vostro lines are good deals... so just pick which size you want. They won't be good for gaming though, due to the weak graphics.

    You can get great deals in dells outlet. These are sweetened more when they have 20-30% off coupons for it. I got an amazing deal about 6 months ago from there :)

    at $625 you'll be hard pressed to find a Dell laptop with a decent card, or any other brand for that matter.
