It is a DELL. They are asking about $1022. I am really not a gamer. UNLESS i can use my gamecube or ps2 on it. Then yes. but it will mainly be used for music/movies.
I am not going to get a MAC. I wish i could but way to much $$$$$$. besides i am only 13. Not enough mony to go around

Yes, but it all depends on what you are using it for. For the average person this is a good look but if you are a gamer then you might wanna step the video card up a bit. This is obviously a Dell and its a good one too E1505 highly rated. There is a reason why Dell is number 1 regardless of what some people say.
3 Things I recommend adding :
1 - Antivirus software to protect you from viruse.
2 - Office software ( Word, Excel, Powerpoint) if you need it.
3 - 1 yr warranty is cheap but fixin a problem isn't. Getting a better or longer warranty is never a bad idea especially with a laptop.

It looks pretty good to me - but that also depends on what they are asking for it. How much were they asking for it? You have to consider the value as well as what is in it. I see it is a Dell though - which I cannot stand. Compare the stats of this computer to some others on real computer sites like tigerdirect.com or newegg.com. You might find a better deal there really.

Very nice laptop but the only downside is the graphics card. If your not a gamer, its perfect

No. It runs Windows. Get a Mac.

They can run Windows if you need to, but OS X is much better and much more secure.
