Hello,
I am looking to buy a laptop and I would appreciate some opinions.
The maximum I am willing to spend is $750 CAD before taxes, but I like to pay less than $700.
I will be dual-booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04.
Main uses:
- Internet
- Programming
- HD Video Playback
- Games (looking forward to Diablo 3)
The best option I found so far is a Dell Inspiron 15

Price: $649 + tax
CPU: Intel i3 2310M (2.1GHz/3MB cache)
Display: 15.6" High Definition (720p) LED Display with TrueLife™
Memory: 6GB3 Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz
Hard Drive: 500GB4 SATA hard drive (5400RPM)
Video Card: 512MB AMD RadeonTM HD6470M
Warranty: 1 Year Basic Mail-In Service Plan
Primary Battery: 48 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Optical Drive: 8X Tray Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive)
What should I be upgrading? What should I be downgrading?
Thank you
