Is this laptop a good choice?

I'm looking at this Dell Inspiron 1720. I want an overall good laptop that I can use in college for 4 years. I'm also an occasional gamer hence the G-Force video card and stuff.

I know many people think that Dell is a bad manufacturer but my dad does business with them so we get almost 50% discount. I'm using my own money so it has to be less then $1,200 and I really like this.

Tell me what you think!

Answers:
The new inspirons have been getting great reviews, an excellent choice. Just make sure you are comfy with a 17incher it can be a load to lug around campus.
I'd buy that, minus the software pre-installed. Works just plain stinks.
the specs don't show up for us. Just the option to configure the notebook. Though for some reason i doubt that a dell will last 4 years
