Dell i5458 thoughts?

[EvilNeo]

a friend of mine planning on buying a laptop generally for gaming with a budget of about 500~600$ from amazon so we've found this one

what do you guys think of it?
and is there anyone who came across this laptop before and found issues with it?

Could save money by buying a non touchscreen one, unless thats something he really wants.

same thought but we couldn't find any Dell laptop with such specs without the touchscreen
and he really wants it to be Dell

And for exactly a little more there is an i7 version of the one he wants here -

Dell makes a good machine, they aren't much to look at on the outside, but if that's no biggee they are a good buy.

OOOPS!  My mistake.  The 5500 in the i75500 threw me off.

 

If he wants a dell then he has picked a good one for the price he is looking at.
