    Dell Vostro 3700, worth getting?

    jamess21037625, I would say its decent. It will never replace any desktop, but its definitely better than my friends laptops with the intel graphics chipsets. johnt7225, I have tried out a few CAD programs on it and they all seem to work ok. I have only been using fairly small models on AutoCAD...

    Dell Vostro 3700, worth getting?

    Just thought I'd update you guys, and for the sake of anyone else who reads this thread. I went ahead and got the Vostro 3700 with the i5 430m and 4Gb of ram. So far I can happily say that I've had no problems at all within the past 8 months. I've been more than pleased with its performance...

    Cheapest GPU upgrade for these games

    For $80 I'd go for the 5570. Toms did a review on the GDDR5 model recently and the results looked good, given the price range.

    Deals for June 7: FREE Subway English Muffin Melt

    magicandyWhat exactly qualifies something to appear on Tom's Hardware? The fact that it exists and someone wants to push it? I hate to be the serious hater here but I can remember a time when Tom's was a lot better and actually still focused only on tech. Remember that weekly show those two guys...

    sbnathansonOh great, now all new GPU reviews or announcements are going to have the obligatory comment: "Yeah, but can it accellerate Office 2010?" Shhh.. Don't give them any ideas

    Dell Vostro 3700 - Hot or Not?

    Oh and one more thing, if your planing to use it for lots of movies and music you may want to buy some speakers, as the ones that come with it are ok-ish if you only listen quietly and don't mind low quality music. It is a business orientated notebook after all.
