Dell: Thinking about purchasing a Dell Inspiron, just one problem

Thinking about purchasing a Dell Inspiron, just one problem

by masonkid1 - 4/15/09 8:25 PM

Well, I like the Dell I15-157B from Best Buy, but I do not like the graphics card packed inside whatsoever, so I would like to know,

Is it replaceable? I would buy the computer if I can have it replaced somewhere down the line, but I'm not sure if I can.

Also, is there a way to upgrade it using the ExpressCard slot? I heard about this Asus XG station, but can't find it anywhere, is it around anywhere or is there a similar product I could use with the machine?

P.S I can't upgrade on Dell's website because I have a gift card to Best Buy which I am using to purchase the machine. Thanks in advance!

Ask Best Buy salesman

Ask Best Buy salesman about this. It's a laptop, so it's difficult if not impossible to upgrade. You need to upgrade at the time of sale or pick a better model. You cannot use the slot to upgrade video. You would be better off buying from Dell and saving the gift card for something else.

Best Buy

I agree that ordering directly from Dell is the way to go in this case. I have stood in Best Buy and listened to the sales associates. They are not always informed in all areas. Perhaps you could use your Best Buy gift card for software or accessories instead.
