Dell Inspiron 9300 Review (pics, specs)

I'm not sure how this image will translate to your screen but here is a screen shot of my address book list in Microsoft Outlook 2000. The font doesn't scale regardless of the font at native resolution. That's with a DPI setting of 120 DPI, at bare normal size it's even smaller.

Well have gone thru all 10 pages of posts and still cant decide. Reading the posts this n/book seems like its the one for me (does it all plus games) BUT its that screen issue thats really getting to me . .I mean whats the point of getting it for games ifthe screen bites the big one. Unfortunatly dell is for most part mail order not generally available to see "live" . .

Any other thoughts on other names I should look at b4 I pull the trigger. .for comparison (same price range or cheaper). My IT guys at work reco Asus . .?!?

Hi, nice review. Good pics. In the one with the laptop, the HP 23" screen and the Samsung screen, do you think you could tell me what the Samsung LCD Screen actually is. It looks to me like a 713N, which i am seriously thinking about getting for my desktop. Thanks

I wonder how the Dell Inspiron 9300 performs with Gentoo Linux. Has anyone tried it? is alot of optimizations required?

Yes it should run COD2.

The problems with the wireless card that everyone is having has some solutions here:

Wireless issues with Intel/Pro Wireless 2200BG
