Looking at this offer: http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/pr...dhs&ref=homepg

Spec seems pretty good to me for that price, just wondering if anyone has one of these and are experiences good or bad?

Rep will be given to all useful replies, cheers.

My friend Becky has it.
The only ever problems she's had have been her fault, not the computers.

If you look after it properly it is a really ncie computer!

The 4gb offer, looks fantastic, and i may go for that one myself (My dad has an inspiron, and so does my neighbor)

What are you looking to do with it - Because that will really make the decision!

Replying yet again. Sister has one. Very reliable, not broken yet (quite tough too, shes dropped it numerous times)

I have Compaq Presario CQ50 also, thats good.

Just general web browsing, occasional Photoshops, watching DVD's and stuff. General use.

How much are you prepared to spend?

Just wandering, as i could look round, and get a view changes to it, that would suit your needs.

P.S. Would microsoft office be required?

[jesus]

Microsoft Office wouldn't be required.

I'm willing to spend up to £600 for an absolute beast, otherwise under £480 for something that's just very good.

Ok.

You should really get a 9 cell battery, by customising the laptop. This will give it a llonger last without recharge.

Also if you need a router i reccomend netgear.

Hope this helped,

I have a Belkin G+ Mimo of whatever it is, but the range is CRAP. It cant even get accross my house without disconnecting.
