    is this a good deal?

    I'm guessing they wouldn't have posted it if they thought it represented poor value ;)

    Thanks for this. I have made 3 calls to Dell this morning attempting to order their £299 Laptop. They hung up on me twice and then promised to call me back in 5 minutes over 2 hours ago!
    I can now collect a similar spec machine, with a DVD writer, this lunchtime for the same price.

    Thanks again.

    This isn't widescreen and battery life is poor. Would say inferior to a Dell machine having played around with a Dell.

    Hi Jonathon,

    How much noise does this thing make - does it have an internal fan?
