As mentioned in my multi-core showdown post, I just recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 1520 notebook. While full reviews of said notebook are aplenty on the net, I'll just focus here on how it handles FSX. In short - very good! In more detail:Specs are as follows:T7300 2.0GHz CPU2G DDR2 667 RAM8600 Go GT 256M graphics160GB 5400 HD15.4" widescreen - 1440x900 TruelifeOnboard soundVista Home PremiumAnd running FSX it looks like:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/177544.jpgHaving been spoilt by 3.5GHz of C2D and an 8800GTS on my desktop, FSX performance was much actually much better than I expected. In fact, I use the setting CFG files that I use for my desktop, which are set up to give me decreased detail as scenery complexity increases, and generally I can use just one setting lower on the notebook than I would used on the desktop with the same scenario.As an example of how good this notebook performed, I did a benchmark run of my desktop downclocked to the same 2.0GHz CPU speed of my notebook and used the same settings and the notebook came out on top by about 10%. That's pretty impressive considering my notebook runs the lesser 8600 Go GT and DDR2-667 memory. Perhaps the extra 2M cache on the T7300 makes that much difference? Here's the graph of the result:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/177545.jpgI loaded up my usual swag of addons (LDS 767, ASX, XG, FSBuild, MAAM SIM DC-3) and, when I wasn't wrestling with Vista's stupid UAC, it didn't miss a beat. The screen is ideal at 1440x900 in a 15.4" form factor and at least I can lug this system around much easier than my Dell Inspiron 9300 17" monster that has now been banished to be my wife's desktop system.The only issue that I noted was that the notebook got quite warm on the left hand side where the hot air flows out. Checking CPU temp while running FSX, it got up to a blistering 73C on the second core :-eek, but I fixed that by undervolting my CPU to 0.962V (vs 1.250V VID) and now it runs at 53C max.Overall, I am very impressed with my purchase from a portable FSX standpoint!Gary

Nice camera there....wide angle lens?? heheoh nice PC too :)

Actually, the shot was taken with a cheapo Canon SD630 with 35mm lens. I also took some shots with my Konica Minolta DSLR, but this Canon shots came out better. FYI - this site inspired me not to be snooty about camera choice: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/notcamera.htmGary
