good buy

well my dad is being an idiot and he's saying that dell uses the inspirion as a dump for shit hardware. that doesn't even make sense. He also didn't even bother to get a graphics card in it and it's got a weakass cpu and only a gig of ram. I don't even know why it's the same price for something so much shittier.

your dad knows nothing about computers
