The Inspiron 9300 is Dell’s 17″ widescreen notebook for the home and small office market , competitively priced it offers the most value.
A strongest part of this notebook and deal closer, is the Nvidia GO 6800 256MB Graphics Card,running 3DMark05 on a clean install with Dell drivers will get you about 2850 points, but that’s due to the low clock speeds of 125MHZ core and 318MHZ memory, installing more powerful drivers will allow you to easily raise them.

The Notebook itself is quite thin and light (4 Kg) for a such a powerful 17″ notebook, you can’t expect it to have considerably less width or depth simply because of the screen size. The thickness is acceptable too as you can see by the picture. The effort to save is apparent in every part, yet there are no creaks or loose parts (though it’s new), it’s a desktop replacement and as such isn’t supposed to be carried often if any and one should consider the price factor as well . Overall Dell seems to have done a good job. You’ll get this Laptop for about Php 35,000, but maybe less for this year. Have a nice day!
