Personally, I would never buy any laptop for gaming with "Centrino" in the specs list

. Your not only going to pay more because it comes with 3D glasses but also because it comes bundled with useless extras (McAfee which I can't stand, Office, DataSafe, etc...). If you play WoW (like me) I would suggest buying yourself a quality laptop from Asus for around the same price (which is much better in my opinion). If your going to be doing digital media as a career choice I would suggest throwing an SSD into your rig as well for all of your job applications with some speedy load times. Cheers.

Don't buy! I had an M17 and it was the biggest peice of junk ever! My old acer junker with 2gigs of ram could blow that thing out of the water. I will never buy a Dell computer, especially a laptop ever again! Every body I have talked to say they had the same problems, even with a ssd, and fresh os it still lagged behind what they claim it should do
