Anyone know where i can get one?

Like i said, cheap, but can still support agood wireless internet connection?!

I have NO idea about pc's!

 

I just ordered a Dell after looking about everywhere. Good basic lappy at good prices if it's just a basic one you want.

-->LINKY<--

 

Dell, or PC world usually have some good deals on.

A gypo offered me one in town yesterday, not sure what warranty would come with it

 

cheers for that link darren!!

 

No prob's Maria - I'll let you know what it's like when I get it (on it's way now )

 

Cool!! Bloody good prices they are!

What does this mean when they say it is refurbished?! does that mean they are second hand?

Might have just been an opened box, or ex display.

But I'd get at least 1GB RAM if your using Vista

(That's why the dell link i gave you is good - you can still opt for Windows XP Pro - less resource hungry )

 

ah i seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


ive heard so many pants reports about vista too!


Basically as long as i can surf at a good speed, download music ok, and store pictures on it, im happy!!!

 

Dell

 

 

so how come a laptop is cheaper if you buy it under the small business option as opposed to the home option?!

 

Gonna buy my mum one as a little pressie. Foook me that Vostro is cheap!!!

But thats not suitable for a home Wireless network is it?

Gonna get her the basic Inspiron

 

Ive heard loads of bad stuff about vista too.............in the past.

I recently installed Vista ultimate on my pc and ive had absolutly no issues at all in the week ive been using it, its just as fast as xp aswell on my pc

doesnt that mean its wireless compatable?

 

Dunno... couldn't be bothered to wait for answer I'm £398.45 lighter and my mummy has an Inspiron 6400 in a few days time arriving as a surprise. Hope she likes it!

 

 

Ive been after 1 for a week now!! and had NO JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As i get told 1 thing by 1 person,and something else by another!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Them dell 1`s in the link look good,but they run a business vista??? Whats that all about then????

I like this 1.....

http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/pr...dt1&l=en&s=bsd

The £499 1....

Is that a good thing for the money,but what about awrreny??As i heard Dell are abit of a CUNT sometimes for parts and repairs????

Pete...

 

well i just called dell, and it DOES support normal home wireless technology!

Warley - when you go into the spec options you can change it to vista home edition!

I went in to build the bloody thing, chose all my options, went to press go... and my friggin works pc wouldnt let me go any further!!! it blocked the bloody site now!

 

GUTTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (for you that is)

Great news that you can set it up for home!!!!

Nice 1 M,cheers for that...

Is there a 2 week s wait on these like on other DELL`s ive looked at...

Pete.

 

Dunno, when i asked on the phone he said 5 days!

 

I'd better not mention that when I ordered my Vostro, there was £70 off or you'll all lynch me.....

 

But then I've heard Acer's are a pile of poo. pays your money - you take your chances.
The good thing about getting the Vostro from Dell, is theres a years next day business turnround as it's classed as a "Business" laptop

 

just got a free Dell from AOL its spot on for uses you describe

 

Still dont know what to buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pete..

 

im on my new acer lappy now that i got today and its the dogs bollox so i wouldnt believe everything you hear

but it wasnt what id call cheap though

 

Acer are great for cheap-end laptops, we use quite a few and get little problem.

I'd recommend Dell personally, ALL of our work's kit is Dell, from high end servers down to laptops and some desktops. Granted we are a business with NBD support on laptops, but the service is spot on, things will either get replaced next day or engineer on site with parts

I'd buy a Dell for personal use too.

 

Oh my friggin go! if being blonde wasnt bad enough..... i'm even more confused now!

 

Dell are pretty good, even though I cant get mine to connect to the internet .....

Here you go Maria ...blondes aren't always stupid:

I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would notallow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then he would tell me to take a few days off.



So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing. I told her that I waspretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was "CRAZY" and give me a few days off.



A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked "What are you doing?" I told him I was a light bulb.



He said, "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for acouple of days." I jumped down and walked out of the office.



When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her "...And where do you think you're going?"



(You're gonna love this.....)









She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark

 

 

Well im now £360 lighter after buying this one:
