So, here's the story my dad and I decided that I could choose what I wanted for Christmas this year so long that A) the price was under 1500 and B) it was interest free til 2009. I got on slickdeals and found a decent XPS laptop (M1330, 13.3", T5250, 2gb, 160gb SATA, 8400M GS) for $999. So I go on over to Dell's website and use that as a basis for my build, I added a bigger battery and a T7250 all for $1178 taxed and shipped. I call Dell to make sure that it was interest free til 09 and that my exact configuration was going to be correct. As I was talking to Jeremy (the Dell salesman) he says "oh darn, I can't get this right... let me find a manager to get this straight." I ask him to call me back.
Ten minutes later Jeremy calls me back from Dell saying, "Man, I could only get you ten bucks off of your price and free 2 day shipping," I said, "That's fine..." He cuts me off and goes, "But!" I'm like well wtf.... he goes, "I had to change your configuration in order to get the right price... you'll be getting a T7500, 3gb of RAM, 250gb SATA HD, 8400m GS in an M1330." I thought to myself "holy crap!"
I guess I found the benefit of calling and making sure everything was ok, I couldn't have asked for a better present from my dad or from Dell. So after all this rambling, my question to you guys is will this thing play counter-strike:source well? I know the proc/RAM can manhandle source, but is the graphics chipset up to par? I usually build highly overclocked desktops and I'm not too familiar with laptop performance. TIA for your help.
