So I just bought a laptop for around $600 CDN, should be here around Monday.

 

Decided to buy it because it was cheap, and I needed a random laptop for school and decided that it was the time to get my own computer :roll:

 

 

 

Here's the specifications, it's an Inspiron 1525:

 

 

 

 

-Intel® Pentium® Dual Core T2390 (1.86GHz/533Mhz FSB/1MB cache)

 

-Genuine Windows Vista® SP1 Home Basic Edition - English

 

-Jet Black

 

-Glossy, widescreen 15.4 inch display (1280x800)

 

-2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz

 

-120GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)

 

-8X CD/DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R write capability

 

-Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Mini-Card

 

-Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

 

-4 Cell Battery

 

-High Definition Audio 2.0

 

-Integrated Modem

 

-Windows Vista Premium

 

-Integrated 10/100 Network Card

 

-Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 8.1

 

-Intel Pentium® Dual-Core Processor

 

 

 

The only part I'm iffy is about the video card, especially when it comes to a laptop. I need a good suggestion whether or not my laptop's video card is sufficient enough to run PC games, but mainly I'll be using my laptop for studies and IM programs.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

It depends on what games you want to play. I found this website that gives some information on what games the chip could run.
