That bloody Dell laptop now £292 (as low as £279!!)-EDITED FIRST POST

Chuffy

There are no options to change any settings, the burn is done as part of another application, not through Roxio or whatever.
Strangely, there is no option to burn ISO's in the Roxio package, so I have no idea what engine/software the laptop is using.

Could be this one:

Go to homepage and under Quick Links click on 'More offers from Dell' and you'll see this one:

Last week I had a 6400 laptop delivered with 1gb ram, 60gb hd, wireless and with bluetooth,( but the graphics card was not very good) for £675 bought over the phone. Today I have just seen on the dell website that they have upped the spec with a better graphics card ,100gb but 512 ram. Am a bit peeved to say the least. What advice could anyone out there give me shall I return it ? ask for a discount ?or am i outside the 7 day guarantee or did I still get a good deal?

I haven't seen the offer but if it doesn't have wifi built in you can get a mini-pci wifi card from ebuyer for £15. I bought the upgrade from dell (it wasn't included in mine) but if I'd have known how easy it is to fit one then I would have saved myself about £20

The Dell 1300 doesn't take PCI cards it has the newer Express card slot.

From the Dell site,

<LI class=point_normal>Express card slot: This system uses an ExpressCard Slot which does not support any cards available for PC Card.
