There is a new motherboard installed by Dell because the ac adapter tip broke off. I think this machine still has a few months of warranty left. I'll check on that when I get a chance. This really is a nice notebook. It's way better than Dell's current Pentium M products in terms of power and durability. I've played Unreal Tournament 2004, Warcraft III, Need For Speed Underground II, Doom III, Half Life II, and Battlefield II on this system. Each game ran very nicely, the only notebook I've seen that ran better is the Dell XPS notebook, but that costs several times more than this one. I can provide screen shots of games or apps if you'd like to see the quality. Images are available on demand as well. This Inspiron has ran Linux, Windows XP, and Windows 2003. Each ran well, but I prefer Linux
. Your choice of OS will be installed fresh before shipping and I can install any software you'd like, provided you own a copy. All installation CDs will be included as well as the owner's manual. This notebook has served me well, but it's time to move on to a small tablet. Thanks for reading and please feel free to ask me any questions you might have. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to install Mac OS X86 on it someday...Asking price: $800 obo...
