in It's gone, but was it any good?
This is now over - though thre is a £368.44 model with a 60Gb drive today so you're paying around £30 for upgrading from 40Gb to 60Gb

EDIT: they say this is an "Easter Special" now, due to end 19/04/2006

Here we go again... :D this isn't a bad deal at all.... N04135B

*** COULD BE A MISPRICE - MORE BASIC N04135 MODEL IS DEARER!!! ***

This machine has DVD writer, wireless, and 15.4" screen so the deal is pretty close to the £299 one if you wanted a bigger screen (for which it was £35 extra many moons ago).

Usual spec. Celeron M 1.5GHz, 256Mb RAM, 40GB HD

Longer-life battery option is there too for £11.75

Have fun...

Dell website

Use eValue code 1-N04135B and reduce the support to 90-day collect and return.

Perfect basic laptop for internet surfing, email, homework, music downloads, etc.

    I've seen the price change before my own eyes in the past - if you place the order when it's there, it generally goes through!

    Thats with enhanced service agreement. Reduce to 90 day collect and return and you get £339. This prce is due to free delivery offer starting today which saves £60 this is reduced slightly on some offer codes as last weeks £30 cash reduction on some codes has finished.
