Cant claim credit for this, as i found it on another board....

256MB 333mhz DDR RAM
40GB hard drive
CDRW/DVD combo drive
15" XGA Screen

    How easy is it to buy & upgrade the RAM on Dell laptops after purchase?
    £94 seems like a lot of cash for an extra 256mb.

    Crucial offer a 256 mb chip at £27.61 incl postage. (see the discount code board for 4% off) Potential saving against dell's £94 upgrade is £66.39. They also have a 512 mb chip at £54.04 (postage paid) less 4%.

    I don't know about Dell ones but on any laptops I've upgraded in the past, it's been a screwdriver/open case type job...

    There is £100 off the standard price and free delivery for another two days (i think) so thats worth a further £57. I gave around £580 for mine a months ago so that sounds about right. Also for a few quid more than some of the basic machines that are on the go, you are getting a very decent machine.

    Not sure on the pros and cons of the extra RAM. I bought mine with a standard 256Mb and the spec if perfect for surfing and word processing and watching the odd DVD - though i am sure that is by no means stressing the machine.

    It's very easy to upgrade - just open up a little flap underneath & slot in the memory.

    Dells memory / accessory prices are extortionate - that's how the clawback the profits on the low base spec prices.

    I want to buy this today but the website keeps coming up with a price of £645?

    How can I get this at the £421.99 price (as advertised?)

    The code in this thread doesn't seem to work!

    HELP!
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!

    Did you remember to go for the basic warranty of 1year?

    I just tried going through the process (just to see) and ended with 1.5 Pentium M 715a processor system for £474.44


    I used the code given by pgilc1 by the way which worked (follow instructions in first post)
