    Hey guys

    I was planning on purchasing the

    Inspiron 15R Laptop Details | Dell UK

    Dell Inspiron 15r with 4gb RAM what do you think? Is it good value or should I try another model? It'll cost me around £530.

    I want to use it for photoshop but also a bit of gaming perhaps starcraft 2?

    any help would be great thanks

    If you want to use Photoshop or game on the system, you'll want to get the ATI discrete graphics option for sure. It'll definately improve performance. Be sure to get the Core i5 CPU as well.

    See how much that will cost, though I won't be able to tell if that's a good deal as UK pricing is different from US pricing.
