Dell Inspiron 5150: Good for Windows XP Gaming?
Not everyone has the space for a desktop retro PC. So if you’re interested in getting into the Windows XP gaming scene, could this 20-year-old Dell laptop be a viable option?

  1. Nostalgy and terrible memories. I bought the 5150 brand new from Dell in 2003 or 2004 with a nice SXGA+ screen, a Geforce Go 5200 64mb, 512mb ram and 60gb hard drive for about 20000SEK (about 2700USD). I also paid about 500SEK extra for a DELL carrying bag (about 5kg laptop+charger+bag) and 500 SEK for an external usb 1,44" floppy drive that I never needed to use but still have in my "good to have"- box today. I believe that I bought the P4 3,00 ghz with hyperthreading but got an P4 3,06ghz without hyperthreading, had to send it back for a replacement unit with correct specs that instead had a problem with the screen. Sent the second one back as well and got it back repaired with (used?) scratched plastic parts. Gaming was not great not terrible, remembering it running Half life 2 a bit sluggish. One day maby a year or two after warrenty was up the 5150 did not boot up anymore. Sold it cheap for spare parts. It has been almost 20 years, I never bought a Dell laptop again after the 5150. I think there were a class action lawsuit called the Lundell Settlement about the bad quality of this particular model in the US.
