    This topic is about the Dell Inspiron 1520 , config. pretty well , so happy, the chosen color appears to be more beautifull than i thought it would of been.

    This whole lot should of been retailing for 2200$ CAD+ considering the warranty (if customized at dell.ca , price of September 2007) but i got it for only 1500$ CAD, i bought it from a seller who sold open box dells. Here's what came inside the box ...

    Inside the box :
    Dell Inspiron 1520 Brand new white
    Remote control (fits express slot)
    stupid papers
    stupid manual
    charger
    cable for charger
    Microsoft Office Home and Students 2007 (sold for 100$ wahaha)

    Specifications :

    Dell Inspiron 1520 White Alpine
    Intel Duo Core2 T7500 2.2ghz
    Ultra High resolution, glossy , 1680x1050
    Bluetooth Integrated
    Integrated 2.0 megapixel camera
    2gb memory shared dual channel at 667mhz
    120GB 7200RPM
    256MB Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT
    normal 8x cd/dvd burner
    3-year warranty with Express & Complete care

    Bioshock is extremely playable under wide resolutions at Medium settings. I experience lag during actions if set to High settings. (Direct X10 activated)

    Lost Planet is to default setting , no lag at all , no slow down. Extremely playable. (Direct X10 mode)

    World In conflict is less playable, i don't know why, to be playable, my settings had to be Medium (with a few customized setting off to low). But the cinematics are horrible , the real-time in game graphics cinematics , i have only tried the first mission so far.

    The games are played under Windows Vista Ultimate.

    I'll post some videos & screen shots as soon as i have time, if you have any question please feel free to ask.
