I got 1558 also with i7 processor but with new ATI 5470. Very good and fast, but cooling fan can be quite loud under high work load and it gets quite warm if you put it on your lap. The rest is fine and works great. LCD very bright an sharp and DVD drive works pretty quitely. Good price for what you get in comparison with other brand
How long does the battery last?
I have exactly this laptop. It’s very fast and powerful but the only downside I see in it is that the only uum… “ventilation” it has is very small and the computer warms up too fast and too often.
i have the same laptop it sucks. it has so many issues, thiis VGA card combination with process is not available with dell any more. it generates a lot of head and its very uneasy for you to put you palm on laptop. overall dont waste your money on this product.
