    I looked at this in JB. I think it was a slightly older model (CPU maybe different), it was up for 1500.

    Nice aluminum case and FHD screen. 3 USB3 ports unlike the 5000 model. I believe the NIC is 10/100/1000 as well which is a bonus if you are going to use it - have asked the question as i am too thinking of this as my new lappie!

    graphics card any good? depends on your needs.

    Friend has it and likes it!

      Dedicated graphic should theoretically be better than any Intel integrated graphics, eg. what you find in the Macs.

        Its the same dedicated GPU that is in the 15" Macbook Pro. But the Mac is $1000 more than this deal.

          Yeah, but the cheaper macbook pros, are not pro at all, for the reason he has stipulated.

    It will be better. I think the card is mid-range of the field, for my purposes i think it is good. depends if you are a gamer. Will do a bit of research.

    Rem the 20% ebay dell this Sunday too!

      That is what I'm waiting for, however I fear since dell is already doing 20% off they wont reduce by another 20%.

    Cheaper than Dell's DFO price here.

    Not too bad a price then.

    The specs on this are good for the money.

    In the past, I have found Dell Inspirons to have crappy keyboards, trackpads and cases. Before you spend $1349 on a laptop, make sure you have some hands on time with it, or an equivalent model.

    Just a quick update I ended picking one up on Sunday in eBay deals for $1319, not a stunning deal however I am pleased with the price.
