    Default Down to 2 Choices!

    I need it for college, i'm in mechanical engineering but will not be using Autocad or any big programs like that. Don't need it for games either.
    Just need a fast durable laptop with some decent graphics nothing over the top.

    The Inspirons are quite likely the least durable laptops out there. Sometimes they are temptingly cheap but if one of your criteria is durability, I would avoid them. Instead, I recommend you to either get a Latitude from the Dell Business Outlet, or a Thinkpad from the Lenovo Outlet.

    However, if you plan to baby the laptop, then any laptop would be durable enough and the Inspirons are pretty good bargains. But get either a Latitude or Thinkpad if you plan on tossing it around.

    Speaking of bargains, Dealnews.com keeps track of the latest laptop bargains, some of which may interest you: Laptop Deals - Best Laptops for Sale, Deals on Laptops - sorted by hotness
