    nothing else is except crucial memory and a cheap thin external hard drive.

    Don't buy the RAM from Crucial, its £11 cheaper here:

  • I wasnt having a go at you kano, if people want the bigger screen thats purely their choice, my niece has the 14" screen and as she is petite she prefers to hump this to uni every day rather than the larger 1 which i have.

    ok np

    altho it still wont make a difference with this particular laptop lol. the physical laptop box itself is not any difference in size no matter what screen you get. so you still 'humping' the same thing no matter.....

    there is no point arguing it makes the laptop any lighter or smaller to get the smaller screen.. it will be EXACTLY the same weight and size. (yes I checked it!)

    Sadly you end up with a bigger plastic bezel sorround is all. Thats partly why I recommend the bigger screen. you dont get any more portability from not getting it!!!

    Thanks for the advice. I guess it's a different matter if you have them boxed by eg. toshiba rather than by dell (but more expensive of course). Sounds poor that they just have a plastic bezel around i'd be really dissatisfied with that. So yes sounds a worthwhile upgrade.

    Hi.
    Please could somebody explain how I get a laptop for those prices posted by monkeyspanner.
    I had a quick look on the Dell website & couldn't find where to enter the code.

    I'm specifically interested in the £239 one.

    Thanks.
