rjtyrell

Hi,

I am considering buying one of these dell laptops, has anyone used it yet?, are they quite slow? i would really only use it for downloading music, photos and the net. would this be suitable.

And am i correct in saying it comes with built in wifi?

Thanks

Thats the "Employee Purchase Program" they only give you it if your company is part of that scheme.

It'll be fine for all of that. And yes, it's got Wifi.

I have discovered why this model is on the web at 339 and in the papers at 299.
The cheaper price does not include a mains lead - at least that is what I have been told by the Dell telephonist and in the paper it lists power options as starting at 35+VAT.
Can they do this - taking away 40 pounds worth of goods and then advertise it at 40 pounds off???

It's another sale pitch to make you pay more...it does come with a mains lead
