    Default Getting new laptop. Is it worth

    DELL NB Inspiron N5110, Intel i7-2670QM(2.20GHz, 6MB, 4C), 15.6in HD (1366x768) WLED, 8192MB (2x4096) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel, 500GB HDD, Integrated HD3000 QC, DVD+/-RW, Wireless 1702 b/g/n + BT, Webcam 1.0MP, FreeDOS, 6-cell, Diamond Black, 5Y

    Is this worth getting this? Just by performance.

    Everything is worth that performance if it is free

    Im not an expert with laptops but according to my knowledge: this computer will be right for me since the one I have is almost with the same performance but with 4gb ram and you got 6gb. Now the price is your choice.

    Depends on what you use it for and what price you're paying.

    True, but they are still integrated graphics, which still pretty much suck... What is the price of this laptop anyway?

    If this for school, this is great.
    It's still decent for rs with a good Internet connection.

    What do you mean is it worth it? You didn't state the price you're getting it for..so yeah. What grats said.

    For that price I would say maybe

    Integrated GFX, IMO (depends on games) but not good enough.
    Do you need i7? If you can get a GPU in there then i5 will be fine.

    750 euros sounds a bit on the expensive side. Although saying that, mine might have been around the same...

    What is the overall purpose of the laptop and what are you expecting from it? (aka 0 lag on games like crysis (won't happen) or acceptable performance or what...)

    If you want to play games on it you are making a terrible choice. With that graphics chip you can play a cod game with 15 fps on the low setting. That's how bad these things are.

    Here is a selection of laptops with good gpus. Note, the laptops with something like, "Intel HD graphics" are integrated gpus and are terrible for what you want to do. Go for the laptops that say "NVIDIA GeForce GT" or "Radeon HD". I chose a $750 - $1000 price range for you.
