Doesn't the B120 have GMA900? I've never used a integrated graphics solution, however this is for the wife. All she plays is Second Life, Sims 2, Ultima Online, Eve Online, WoW, and recently Civ 4. Mostly online line games. Now I know Civ 4 won't prob play at all or very well, even on a I6000 (my next choice with a 128 x300).

 

How will those games fair? As long as there playable 25-30+ frames I don't think she would have a issue. I would like to know if anyone has a notebook with GMA900 and plays any of the games above.

 

Thanks!

 

 

Also 1gb ram would be installed almost immediately.

looks like the $449 deal is no longer available for the mail in rebate...it seems like they changed up the offer details for the rebate throughout the day..before it was for both value codes system 2 and 3 and then now it only shows for system 3 (the one on the far right, 256md, no wireless,)-crap....

 

i lost the chance to get the 512mb ram, wireless one, or so it seems?

[Dork42775]

Yeah i think it is dead. I had it in my cart ready to order but it disappeared. Oh well i guess i will hold out longer.

I am not sure if I did this right..is it not workinganymore? I'm not clear how to double the RAM and add the card?

[labgeek]

And it comes with a Lithium-Ion battery. That is a sweet deal Rossman!!!! That beats the Walmart and CC BF laptops. I think I'm going to order one.

 

It's a 4 Cell Li Ion battery - only 29 WHrs!

 

The 2200 had 2 choices of batteries - the 8 Cell NiMH at 43 WHrs and the 8 Cell Li Ion at 65 WHrs for $69 more (which btw for $79 you could keep the 8 Cell NiMh and get the Li Ion too). Just because its a Li Ion battery doesn't make it the same.

 

Personally I'd rather the 8 cell NiMH over a 4 Cell Li Ion (almost 50% longer runtime).

[Dork42775]

Actually the deal from yesterday is back up. The one with 512 MB of ram and the wireless card. I just ordered mine and it was $618 now and $518 after my mail-in rebate. Not too bad i just hate paying $49 in shipping charges.

[RossMAN]

Dork42775,

 

Can you list the complete specs?

 

Does your order confirmation show a $100 rebate with a rebate code? It has to show this, otherwise your rebate request will be declined.

 

Did you get a NiMH or LiON battery?

 

Congrats :)

[Dork42775]

Here is the link i followed. I just ordered it so it is not updated in the dell account summery yet.

[Dork42775]

The rebate form says that all i need is the a complete copy of my qualifying packing slip. I am not sure where this is located before the notebook arrives by mail but it does say that it will be in a clear plastic envelope attached to the package. The model # matches the $449 one ($549 before mail-in)listed one the web page.

Can you walk us through it.. clicking on links just takes me to the link that I was working on. it doesn't show me anything about what you are doing.

[scottmso]

Do not buy a Dell! Their products are very low quality and their service just BLOWS. Remember, you get what you pay for!

[Dork42775]

Just follow the link i posted earlier , select Inspiron B120

Basic Entry-Level that has the $100 off instantly+$100 off by mail-in rebate for a total of $449, then click customize it. I went through it and didnt change/click a thing other than continue, add to cart, and then checkout. After that it is preferred shipping and i will not export this. After you are finished with all of that you can enter the code for $20 off(even though i didnt use Paypal). It states nothing about the $100 mail-in after the first page though and on that page is where i printed out my rebate form. Hope this helps.

[Dork42775]

Also does anyone know what kind of ram/memory this is? In other words can i add to the existing 512mb and if so what kind is it(pc2700,pc3200,pc4200,etc...)? I would like to have at least 1GB so another 512mb would be great if it has 2 slots.

[Dork42775]

I am sorry for all of these posts but here is the specs and i looked at the rebate form and it says that if you are eligible for a rebate it will be inside your packing slip. It never mentions any code that is required. Actually after deleting some useless #'s in these specs it does say something about the rebate.

Umm, no. Actually Dell makes some of the best laptops in the industry. Do not confuse their laptops with their desktop market, completely different story.

[RossMAN]

beth_m,

 

If you buy this, do it soon as this deal ends tonight in a few hours.

[alimfp]

I totally agree!! I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 (6.5 years old approx). We bought it refurb'd from Dell's site about five years ago. Their customer service has rocked the few times we had to call them (and it was minor stuff, nothing really wrong w/ the laptop itself but questions we had about it).

 

Inadvertantly a few times my twin boys (then 1.5 years old) got too it as well. They ripped the CD drive out of it as well as the DVD drive. DH spent about 10 minutes fixing it and all was well again.

 

So I highly recommend Dell laptops, they are the only laptops we will buy/use.

[hf1111]

Yea, I ordered this and was curious of what I can expect as far as battery life. When i ordered it it said it came with a 4-cell 29whrs, but when I look at the order status it shows its shipping with a 35whrs battery, was wondering if anyone else noticed this.

[RossMAN]

35 WHr is definitely better than 29 but not much, was NiMH an option?

 

Search NotebookForums.com for input on battery life.

After searching (and a long night last week with no luck at CC), I ended up purchasing the following Dell last night. Not sure if its still on line -- but I used a code in the Parade yesterday (from the paper). Here are the specs:

BamaLuver,

 

That's a good deal considering the 15.4" WXGA display, 512MB RAM, 802.11b/g WiFi, free printer and my favorite 1 year warranty.

 

Congrats :)

[BamaLuver]

RossMAN -- since its a Christmas gift for my 15 year old daughter, the 1 year warranty was a MUST!

I don't understand why people would stick with the standard 90 day warranty. I'd rather pay a few bucks more and get a full 12 months of peace of mind.

[hf1111]

35 WHr is definitely better than 29 but not much, was NiMH an option?

 

 

When I ordered it there was no option on the battery

[Mikser]

I ordered it on Saturday. Does anyone know if there is a better battery you can buy for it? I was not given the option when I purchased it but thought maybe I could order a better one through Dell.
