well my current dell laptop is a inspiron 1000 which is complete crap. it's been terrible almost a month after i got it for christmas...i'd say a year and a half ago. It was low on memory two months later! i got more upgraded and it was still crap. recently the screen has been blacking out while the computer remains active and continues to do it every time i get past the loading screen but instead of pouring more money into my sad little laptop I've decided to spring for a new one. I'm looking for one that's not too costly nothing above fifteen-hundred(1,500). And one that will be good for light graphics work. just a few things with photoshop for online web layouts and gaming (sims 2). Any recommendations? i hope not too many will recommend another dell
