Anyone have a Dell Inspiron 1525? [+18 rep]

You could always get a Mac...

But yeah that Dell looks like it should be fine for you.

So, unlike desktops, which allow you to mix and match a wide variety of components, laptops usually only come with the options supplied by the manufacturer, which has made it pretty pointless to attempt a self-build.

You can still save money even if you just buy all the same parts. You can still mix and match also still but just more limited.

Or you can get it proffesionally made for a few quid more.

The Inspiron 1525's have interigated graphics, that may be why they are soo cheap. They will play games, but if you are looking for good texture details and anti anilising i'd get one with a decent graphics card.

Other than that they are good .

that's the only ting stopping me buying it, the graphics. can you install aftermarket graphics cards on laptops? if not, surely the graphics can't be that bad. i play some games but not all the time.

cheers

You can still save quite a bit not just a few quid. Anyway even if you were just to make your own and save a few quid it's worth the satisfaction . It's like having a baby

Hitmat you can upgrade the graphics card but the choice is limited in a laptop.

Hmm, the graphics card isnt exactly bad.

You could try an XPS.

Why would anyone do that? You get more for your money with dell.

A Dell XPS would be the way to go just for occasional gaming.

Don't listen to these guys, your not better off building it your self, oyur using second hand parts, that probably wont work together, with absoluetely no warranties.

You can't upgrade them very easily at all, it takes a lot of doing to get it even remotely working again
