laptop help!

[Tristagi]

hey guys, im not very technical at all but I need to buy a new laptop as the old one if ancient and shat itself...

anyways I saw this one: http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/pro...px/laptop_studio_15?c=au&l=en&s=dhs&cs=audhs1

just wondering if someone who knows what they are talking about could let me know if its a good deal or not.

Basically I'll just be using it for uni work, surfing the net and occasionally playing FM09

Thanks!

My mate has one of these Studio laptops and has had no problems with it whatsoever. I have had an XPS 1530 for about 8 months now and have had nothing even remotely go wrong with it.

Which specs exactly are you going to go for because your link contains 4 different base options?

Dont buy a new laptop without at least investigating a new macbook...much better, you wont regret it.

I have to agree with azreal, even if you're a die hard windows user you should look into the macbook or macbook pro. you can still run all your pc software that you need. I've never had an issue with mine, nor anybody I know.

Is there any brands/models to stay away from and vice versa?
