I had a Dell 6400 that looked exactly like this, but the specs weren't so high. Loved it greatly except it had a known bug that the power cord wouldn't always charge the battery. One of my favourite machines i ever owned.

I used to have that same laptop, except that it had an NVIDIA GeForce 6800 instead of the ATi Radeon 9700. Loved that thing! It got me through most of my undergraduate degree. I eventually sold it to a friend for $100. Now I kind of want another one for nostalgia purposes.

Thermal pads were very common on laptops for a long time. Quite a few times I have seen videos of old laptops taken apart where the person says paste, but it is clearly the old common blue thermal pads used in laptops. Much easier for production, and easier to get away with until relatively recently. Changes in heat, and expectations of tiny sizes even in gaming laptops, have seen that practice vanish over the years.

Holy cow, I used to have a laptop from this family - Inspiron 6400; came with Vista Business (lol) and I dual booted with XP Pro. 1GB DDR2 RAM and a Core2Duo. Chunky thing even at the time, but it saw me through 9th Grade. Thanks for a trip down memory lane!
