Hi folks,
My < 1 year old Dell 9100 laptop has sustained water damage to the motherboard (according to Dell). So they won’t repair under warranty. They quoted me £365 plus VAT. Way out of my price range. So I asked my insurers and they don’t deal with Dell. They have offered me a Sony VGNA517B, spec detailed here.
However, my Dell has a 1GB RAM, an ATI Mobility Radeon 9800 (256 MB RAM), 8 x AGP. The processor is Pentium 4 (DT) (3.4GHz, 1 MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB).
I'm not very techy but suspect I'm being offered a lesser machine. Can anybody offer advice?
Many thanks folks.
BigLad.

. I dont know what is the difference in peformance between the X600 and the 9800 mobility but i think it will be huge. Also the Pentium is generally faster or on par with P4, although it runs @ slower FSB. It's less hot and power hungry so more battery life. So i dont see a problem with that Sony, it looks good IMO.
