Well its doesnt really matter how good it is for gaming, in a laptop its as good as you can get so i wouldnt bother. But they are half decent gaming chips as well, not what you might put in a desktop but you are limited by a laptop and dell who only uses intel.

Guyz what laptop would you go for the DELL XPS OR DELL INSPIRON E1705/9400.

If you want something that will play games it has to be the XPS as its the only one with decent graphics, the E1705 is the more powerful but its lack of proper graphics would make it a bad choice if you want a gaming laptop.

Dont they use the same graphics card ? 7800gtx???

When i looked yesterday i couldnt see it on the dell site mentioned as an option but according to this review i just read it is an option for those laptops so i would just go for that, its not as slick looking but that doesnt really matter to much so i would just go for it.

I cant find any direct comparisons though between that and the XPS which is annoying. But yeah if you can get the 7800 option go for it. There is a non GTX version of the 7800 though so it may not be a GTX you should check that and im looking at the dell site and i was right yesterday when i looked the only option for the E1705 i can see listed here is for a X1400.

OK thanks alot man, i think that id go for the XPS anyway, it seems to be a better gaming laptop, its just that processor im worried about.

Its still a blazing CPU, its not as fast as the new CPUs but its still no slouch for an intel.
