Is this a good Laptop deal

[Platinum]

Ok its Dell but it seems a good price lol, heres the spec :

1.6 PM CPU
256MB ram (not paying £90 for a 512mb upgrade)
1920 x 1200 screen
1 year pick up and return warrenty (thats where the saving came from, if its not dead on arrival then im happy that it will last)

£611.28 all in with a free printer.

its average would really need some more details, is that with a dvdrw ?

[Platinum]

CD RW / DVD read.
Average with that screen?

What is powering it graphically?

[Platinum]

Think im gonna go for the 1680 x 1050, that knocks 58 quid off the price.
Ive looked around and a simalar spec machine with a screen res like this costs in the region of £1000 so I cant see how this cannot be considered a good price?

[Platinum]

Graphics are the Intel onboard, the CPU is the 2mb model.

[menthel]

Oh, how big is the HDD? Sounds quite good though.

[Platinum]

40gb, all the rest of the spec is failry standard, it was really the screen that caught my eye on this one.
Free delivery and ebayable printer are a nice bonus

[menthel]

So it will have a physically big screen then? Are you planning to carry this around or use it as a desktop replacement? If carrying then go for a small one. I have a desktop and a lappie. This lappie is my biggest so far with a 12" screen. Previously had a 10.4". I go for portability in mine.

[Platinum]

No its a 15" widescreen, will be used around the house on the wireless connection so the 3kg weight should be fine for me.
At the end of the day if I get it and im not happy with it I can always DSR it

[menthel]

True, my friend. Go forth and purchase!

[Platinum]

Ordered!, ill let everyone know what its like when it turns up, should have it for crimbo knowing Dell!

256MB ram (not paying £90 for a 512mb upgrade)

Can these dells be easily upgraded with ram from the crucial site?

[Platinum]
