I noted on one of the other bargain sites a Dell 14" laptop for £339 delivered.

So I checked it out. Great deal.
But you can upgrade to a 15.4 for £30 (+ VAT) extra
So spec is as follows...

Intel Celeron M 1.4GHz
256MB RAM
40GB Hard Drive
8X DVD+/-RW Drive with Software
802.11b/g Mini PCI Wireless LAN Card
15.4" WXGA (1280x800) LCD Panel
Windows XP Home
Internal 56K v.92 Capable Fax Modem
Primary Battery 4 Cell 35Whr Primary Battery

The code is 305 N12135c in the small business section.
Options are the 90 returntobase and the monitor upgrade..

Not the most powerful computer in the world,

...but a 15.4"/wireless/DVD writer laptop for £375 delivered

Or....go through the small business section of the website, then goto the evalue link and place 305 in first box N12135C in the second then change the cover to 90 day return and get it for £339.00 including vat and shipping

Doesn't come with the free printer though...but who cares, dell sell them every now and again for £9.99

Probably worth going for the upgraded battery as well...only adds a tenner to the price..nice spot on the cheap screen size upgrade

chunter · 9 December 2005 at 1:15AM

yeh, nice spot the upgraded battery as well.

Don't forget quidco for a £20.70 discount too - effectively making this a £353.55 purchase

Dell printers are cheap as chips but the ink cartridges are expensive and not stocked everywhere. Take the deal that Ramjet suggests but buy an HP, Canon or Epson printer with the cash you saved.

Doublespresso · 9 December 2005 at 4:33AM

sounds like a good deal.. anyone know if you can easily and cheaply upgrade the memory to 512MB. I see that Dell charges £65 for an additional 256MB which sounds expensive.

BTW will I be able to watch DVDs in the configuration as is with 256MB and integrated Graphic card?

The 720's are an awful printer! If you want a 1300 then off the SB site but remember - no DSR rights when ordering from SB.

£27.61 from www.crucial.com/uk using PCADVISOR as a coupon

Full range here:

No doubt there are some places with cheaper generic memory but you really can't go wrong with Crucial.

I'm not getting that price. I'm getting an initial price of £493 including VAT. Then you take off the £94 by reducing the warranty to take it to £399. Then you add £35.25 for the screen upgrade and £11.75 for the battery and it takes the total price to £446. Not such a good deal at that price.
