Yes X and TDE former KDE3 as display manager (might be exotic to some, but it is so stable and has such a small footprint that the community could not give it up). Regarding heavy desktop use - it has 4 cores and AES in the CPU - it has no problem to work on encrypted partition and compile stuff while watching youtube. The GPU is Intel. (I took the cheapest - I think it was about 800,- brand new). I don't do games or video/audio processing - though I have used some video/audio tools. hope this helps PS: Latitude is much better than Inspiron - I even think they can not be compared. But you can try TDE on Inspiron as well
