Thanks. Thats cheaper than a 14inch portable DVD player even? What happens after the 13/04? Do they have a better or newer offer?

The Inspiron 1150 may be slightly better value for money. About £23 more, but appears to include WiFi as standard and possibly better peripherals (DVD / HDD). Can't see the exact specs as the Dell link to it is broken.

HTH - Rufus.

Can the 1000 be set up for wireless internet access using a standard pc card for the slot in the side of the laptop or would it have to be internally stored, or is it simply not possible to do this on the 1000 model and would the 1150 be better?

Also with wireless internet use how would you set this up at home, would you have to get a special service provider to run wireless internet or do you just get a normal dial up service (like ntl or bt) and attach a wireless emitter to the phone line which then sends the internet signal to your computer wherever it is inside your house?

Sorry for being dense

The difference between the two is £26.

Advantages

1000 = 2.2Ghz
1150 = 2.4GHz

1000 = No Printer
1150 = FREE Dell Photo All-In-One Inkjet 922 Printer

1000 = 256MB RAM
1150 = 512MB RAM

1000 = 30GB Hard Drive
1150 = 40GB Hard Drive

1000 = 14.1" Screen
1150 = 15" Screen

Disadvantages

1000 = DVD/CD-RW Combo
1150 = DVD Drive

In my opinion for £26 more the 1150 is definately the best buy! Neither come with a wireless network card.

E-Value Code: 305 - N04111 (for the 1150)

You've got me considering the 1150 now!! I might upgrade to the CDRW/DVD combo for an extra £32.25, still just £410 which seems to be an excellent price!

You wouldn't use dial-up, you'd use broadband, and a wireless router
