    Anybody know how to check if you have received the six cell battery instead of the four cell?

    Take the battery out and look at the label, top right it should say capacity 56WH, if it says capacity 29WH then it's only the four cell.

    I'm just looking at ordering one of these, but decided to look through the options.

    If you use evalue code 1-N04137 instead, You get the following extras:

    Upgraded Processor (1.6ghz instead of 1.5ghz, i know, woo...)
    Free Printer (725, 810 is £10 extra) - poo I know, but you can flog it for £20.
    Upgraded Memory (512 instead of 256 - doubled, nice)
    Upgraded Hard Drive (60gb instead of 40gb, decent)
    Option of upgraded primary battery

    And this costs an additional, £60. If you factor in the additional Quidco and printer flogging savings, £37.

    £37 for double the memory, 50% extra HD, and a slight speed increase. Worth it I think.

    Hello I am a school student and I am thinking about buying one of these cheap dell laptops, however I will not have the money for another 3 weeks or so. Does anyone know if this offer will still be availble or something similar bearing in mind that the max i can spend will be £350?
    Thanks.

    Considering most purchases of this type are made on a credit card, if you got someone to put it on a card for you, you would have 4 weeks + to pay for it.

    Hi

    Sorry to sound thick but I would like to order this but when I put the notebook in my basket and add the coupon code it doesn't seem to be changing the spec. do I change the spec. first.

    Sorry, I just want to get it for my daughter to use for homework please can you explain in a bit more detail as it i s a bit foreign to me.

    Thanks

    you need to change the service option to "90 day collect and return" to get the lower price

    you may wish to note that there is no cdrw in this one

    Don't put a notebook in your basket, and there is no coupon code

    At the main Dell page there is a search box, paste the code you want (e.g. N04137) into that box and do a search

    Click on the link that comes up for that spec

    Change Dell Support Options to 90 day C&R

    Change battery to 6 cell

    Do any other changes you want

    Then add to basket
    Thanks to all who post constructively.
