    If you are looking at the Dell Inspiron 6000 deal as featured in the 'Quick Grabbit' forum for £499, then yes, it's an absolute steal! You will not regret it if you buy it!

    I would buy one right now if money wasn't so tight.

    If you have any more PC-related questions, don't hesitate to ask via PM. I'm not a genious, but I will try my best to help :)
  • I think the original deal for the 499 Insperion 6000 may have ended.
    Check the spec carefully.
    I got one from the "Quick Grabbit Deal", and I couldn't find anything close for the same price.
    Don't forget to buy it through the small business pages on Dell, and I got a little extra cashback using greasy palm and Amex.

    Thanks folks, I knowthis isnt techie but how would I go about getting the 5% extra discount from quidco, is it automatically deducted at checkout?????? I know you have to join quidco first, is it 5.00 or something, or should i just grab this deal while its about???????

    subtract the £130 in Dell Service choices.
    Go right to the very end all to the shopping cart & it subtracts £75 to bring it back to £498.39 delivered.

    Quidco is claiming the fee ( and passing it on to you less an annual fee - other sites do similiar less a % of the amount ) that Dell normally pays to sites that advertise its products , so no , it won't be deducted at checkout.

    I've got an Inspiron 6000 and I love it. Got it on a good deal a while back, and this (with the code) is the best offer I've seen since.

    My only tip is: unless you have bad eyesight go for the upgraded screen (WSXGA 1680x1050 pixels). Well worth it IMO for the beautifully crisp screen with loads of workspace. Just look at how much space I have:

    (I should warn you though that the screen doesn't work well in a non-native resolution - ie. if I put it into 1280x800 it is unacceptably blurry).
