The graphics card is the most important, the harddrive, ram etc you can upgrade later on.
If battery life is important get a mobility card, if you always plan to be hooked to a power supply a normal desktop card is fine.
The processor doesnt need to be top line unless your doing processor intensive tasks on your laptop.

Can everyone check it out and tell me if there are any upgrades I must make? I'm no longer concerned with games, but I'd like it to last a few years with multimedia and office application capabilities. |
Link doesn't work, does anyone know which mobile chips include dvd/bluray decoding natively?
Tease.

Looks like a solid laptop system.
A few points are: Do you want a more mobile system? This one has longer battery life and a smaller screen, you could get a larger laptop if it isn't a priority for you.

Tease.
Wow. That one is even better. Would you build it with XP or Vista?

The XPS1330 aparantly has a 5.5hour battery life with a 9 cell battery. That seems perfect to use for 4 hours average every day.
Tease.
Hmmmm, I should look into all of this more before I buy anything, I'm so confused.
I was under the impression that battery life was far greater in modern laptops.

My bad! :( I think battery life since you have an hour train trip each way would be good. The Xps1330 is light, mobile, can play a few older games and all strategy games. With 5.5 hours battery life you could use it there and back and type on it for 3 hour long lectures.
There are desktop replacement notebooks - 17" screen/heavy processors
There are portables - 15" screen - 2.5-3.5 hours battery
Then there are Mobile computers - 4 hours +++ with 13" or 14" screens. As you go down the list the price increases or the performance decreases for the same amount of money spent.
Tease.
you got 2 pages of help...... or something else.
