just spotted this over on HotUKDeals bargain forum so I take no credit for finding it !
http://www.hotukdeals.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2994&ez=2
quote from the forum:-
This is one of the deals in Dell's today only sale and to put it bluntly it is the cheapest, best value laptop in the UK. You cannot get specs like this for this price anywhere. It sounds like a hard sell but it's true!
Two upgrades I would recommend on this one is upgrade to the 6 Cell 56Whr for £11.75 and the screen up to 15.1" widescreen for £35. The battery upgrade is cheap as chips and will give you a much better battery with longer battery life. The screen upgrade is just for more viewing space.
Features:
Celeron 1.4Ghz
14.1" Widescreen Display
256MB RAM, 40GB,
nternal 8X DVD+/-RW Drive
802.11b/g Wireless Enabled
Windows XP Home Edition
1 Year Collect and Return Warranty.

I think you'd need a min of 512MB to get a decent performance, but get extra memory from Crucial0
-
Has this got tv out as well? If not how do I upgrade to it?
also is it easy to install ram if I buy it from somewhere else?
Thankyou!!0 -
By the time you add different upgrades you`re talking about £4000
-

-
Anyone know whether this has an ethernet port. No mention of one, just wireless netwrok access through a wireless router.0
