^Read this, it will tell you what you need to run FSX.

I've read that, but I want an opinion from you guys. I don't have tons of options because I don't have a lot of money to spend on this. I want to make sure if I get this than I won't be wasting my money.

Really? I think I will save up for an XPS.

If I saved for an XPS (15 inch), would this be any better?

Added new poll for the new system specs.

why would you want to run FSX on a laptop anyway? especially with vista?

any who i have a laptop and had FSX it ran so so even with a 2.6ghz core 2 duo and the 8600m GT. but being that i have a 17" 1920x1200 display the card couldn't really keep up. but at the lower resolutions it did half way decent. on vista it was even worse! so vista lasted about 6 days before i went back to XP

but i'm back to FS9 and can run that with maxed out settings at 1920x1200

I have a nice wood rolltop desk in my room, so it will not fit a desktop. Plus, with a laptop I can sit somewhere else when I am doing other things.

I am putting down a 5 for the XPS so I can see the results.

For the XPS or the Inspiron (which is now off the page and out of the question)?

What makes it a 5? How do I bring it up? I am aiming for at least a 7.

That is gone. No longer being considered. Now I want to know about the XPS above.
