I am replacing a Inspirion 8600 and am looking for some feedback on the following config. I usually keep my laptop for at least 3 years and intend to upgrade the RAM myself. I went for the three year warranty as laptops are not as easy to fix as desktops are if components fail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
System Config:
Inspiron 1420 Intel® Core 2 Duo T7500 (2.2GHz/800Mhz FSB/4MB cache)
Operating System Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition
System Color Midnight Blue BLUWC
Memory 1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz
LCD Panel Glossy, high contrast, widescreen 14.1 inch display (1280x800)

Hard Drive 80GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM) 80GB
Integrated NIC and Modem Integrated 10/100 Network Card and Modem
Optical Drive CD / DVD writer (DVD+/-RW Drive) 8XDVDRW
Sound Card High Definition Audio 2.0
Wireless Networking Cards Intel® 3945 802.11a/g Mini-card
Camera Integrated 2.0 Megapixel Webcam
Misc Productivity Software Microsoft Works 8. DOES NOT INCLUDE MS WORD
Battery Options 85Whr Lithium Ion Battery (9 cell)
Warranty & Service 3Yr In-Home Service, Parts + Labor, 24x7 Phone Support
I have a $500 off of $1399 coupon, so the price after tax is $1048 and this configuration also gets a $200 dell gift card, so the effective price is $848.
Thanks.

80 GB? That seems kinda small since because you got the graphics card...andyou're going to be gaming a little bit?

My current laptop has a 60Gb drive and it might be half full. I use the laptop mostly for web cruising, email, and running photoshop. If I need additional. space, I have a home server with over 1Tb of disk space. Not so much a gaming machine as a photo/video editing box that travels well (better than the 1520).

I believe if you up your warranty to the 4 years, it is an additional $80 but you also get $75 Dell Dollars. So for $5 you get an additional year warranty
Any comments on this Inspiron 1420 config?
