    I think the same except XP Home edition not Media edition and no anti virus.

    You might want to check if it's the same spec.

    the 630m is smaller and lighter though, depends what you want.
  • get an extra 6% cashback through quidco!!!!
  • If you are going to spend £600 I would spend a little more to get a real graphics card, bigger hard drive and slightly more RAM. Going to find those specs limiting quite fast.

    I just bought a 6000 of ebay, for £860 inclusive of VAT/delivery it included:

    1 GB RAM (single stick, I also upgraded it to 2GB for another £100)
    100GB Hard Drive
    1.86 Processor
    128MB Graphics card
    WUXGA screen (huge resolution)

    Those upgrades turn a pretty crap machine into a pretty good one. If you want a cheap laptop, there are a few Acer's out there which are better value than those dells.

    Anyone thinking about buying a laptop right now should look into the new dual core intel platform, you may be better off waiting a few months and getting something much more powerful for your money.
