    Well the spec is good, the brand is awful.

    Some decent vostro 1510 deals here

    (just need to select the 1510 tab as the link will go to vostro's in general)

    Russ, Advent laptops really are horrid. Have had several bad experiences with them.
    Got to say that I would be keeping away from them.

    Check out the Dell Vostro A860 on the same link I suggested for the 1510. They've sneaked in and are cheap as chips
