If that is too much tech-talk for you, then let me try to break the Mobility Radeon 9800 down a bit. This makes it a real competitor to modern desktop graphics cards, as well as completely demolishing any previous mobile graphics chipsets. So what does the Mobility Radeon 9800 have to offer? Well, for starters it has eight pixel pipelines and four vertex pipelines, as well as a 256-bit memory interface. This means that it is far superior to its predecessor, the Mobility Radeon 9700 as this was derived from the Radeon 9600XT desktop part. The Mobility Radeon 9800 is not derived from the Radeon 9800 as the name might suggest, but rather from the newer X800 family of chips. And Dell hasn’t skimped on the graphics memory either, with a whopping 256MB fitted. This has however been done before by several other companies, so Dell has gone the extra mile and brought out the first notebook with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9800 graphics card. The core of the Inspiron 9100 is based on a Pentium 4 3.4GHz processor and a hefty 1GB of PC3200 DDR SDRAM. The Inspiron 9100 is by far the thickest laptop I have seen in recent years, but one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.įirst of all, let’s look at the specifications, since the Inspiron 9100 is targeting the mobile gaming market and for anyone that has attended a LAN party, this has to be the ultimate portable computer – it’s far lighter than lugging a full-size PC along with you, but it can still push those high frame rates. But it seems like the more powerful a laptop gets, the bigger and heavier it gets.

The Dell Inspiron 9100 has been out for a little while now and it’s probably one of the most powerful notebooks around.
