I just ordered a new laptop- was it a good choice?

I was limited to Dell laptops because my grandmother could only pay through her Dell Preferred Account. I personally think Dell should be shut down, but a new Dell laptop is better than a broken laptop.

I chose the Dell Inspiron 15 because it seemed to be the best one in my price range (0-0)

Here are the components I chose:
PROCESSOR: Intel® Pentium® Dual Core T4200 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB/1MB cache)
OPERATING SYSTEM: Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic Edition SP1
OFFICE SOFTWARE: Microsoft® Works 9
WARRANTY AND SERVICE: 1 Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis
HD DISPLAY: Bright, glossy widescreen 15.6 WLED display (1366x768)
MEMORY: 4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 800MHz
HARD DRIVE: 250GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
VIDEO CARD: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD
INTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE: 8X CD / DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive)
BATTERY OPTIONS: 6-cell battery
WIRELESS CARDS: Dell Wireless 1397 802.11g Half Mini-Card
SOUND OPTIONS: High Definition Audio 2.0

I really wanted a better video card but couldn't afford it =[
So does it look alright?
Dell should be shut down because their computers are basically trash. Maybe some of the expensive ones are alright, but any computer with a starting price under ,000 isn't really worth buying. I've been using Dell laptops and Desktops for years and I've had problems with each one. Not to mention when I call Dell for any assistance I get hung up on and passed around to 50 different people who barely speak english. The laptop I'm currently replacing is a Dell and it's the worst laptop I've ever had experience with. It overheats like crazy, and the fan has been replaced several times. The motherboard, keyboard, and several other things have also needed to be replaced within just a year. The monitor is litterally falling off of the keyboard and I'm surprised it still works. It's just a very poorly made computer and I can't stand it. When they sent a technician to my house to fix my computer, even he said to buy a different brand.
That's why Dell should be put out of business.
